DSC OPERATES FREQUENTLY/DSC DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY [DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC)]

6

DSC*2 operates frequently

DSC does not work correctly

*2: TCS/DSC indicator light turns on and off while DSC operates

POSSIBLE CAUSE

  • DSC HU/CM detected malfunction. (Input and output device malfunction)

  • Poor installation with SAS control module (yaw rate sensor, low-G sensor) (If SAS control module is poorly installed, DSC may operate intermittently.)

  • There is a difference in condition or air pressure between front or rear tires.

  • When replacing DSC HU/CM and SAS control module, initialization is not performed. (If initialization is not performed correctly, DSC may not work correctly.)
