Dear sifus,My DSC light sometimes appear when i do a rough driving, hit un-even road in high speed, taking sharp corner at high speed etc... Fyi I'm using an adjustable absorber with soft hard & hi low features... Could it be the absorber was tuned on very stiff mode? I just want to check if someone came across to this problem or it's a common thing that I need not to worry about...Thanks sifus...
 
Its not a problem. When your car lifts off the ground, the tyre looses traction. Terbang ler tu.

The car is only telling you that the traction control is not engaged since the tyre is not touching ground or is slipping.

Slow down bro hehe.
 
LOL... that terrible me driving me UDM??!!! I think maybe it caused by the absorber setting... before this it never happened before...
Thanks haywire for your kind explanation... almost thought I need to replace some sensors or such...

:listen: DSC means dynamic stability control and it is a technology tht improves the safety of a vehicle's stability by detecting and reducing loss of traction (skidding).
When DSC detects loss of steering control, it automatically applies the brakes to help "steer" the vehicle where you originally intends to go.
Braking is automatically applied to wheels individually, such as the outer front wheel to counter oversteer or the inner rear wheel to counter understeer. Some DSC systems also reduce engine power until control is regained.
Mind you though, DSC does not improve a vehicle's cornering performance; instead, it is design to help you minimize the loss of control.

Hope this helps you to understand the car and its electronics better :4:
