What is DSC on a jaguar?
The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system does not compensate for driver error or misjudgement. The DSC system helps to maintain the vehicle’s stability in critical driving situations, e.g., during unstable driving behaviour such as understeer and oversteer.
Why does my car say DSC system fault?
AIUI, when you turn the car on it runs through its power on diagnostics and if it determines there’s not sufficient charge in the battery to check the ABS/DSC is pops up the message rather than risk leaving you with inadequate voltage to start the engine, hence people’s confusion when they say “the car starts perfectly so the battery must be okay”.
Can you turn off the DSC light on a BMW?
Whether you know it or not, you can turn your DSC system off. All you need to do to turn the system off in a BMW is hold the DSC light for at least three seconds. This will disable the DSC system, which can be helpful if you’re trying to drift.
Are there any DSC related fault codes for ABS?
There are no DSC related fault codes. The ABS light and system all work fine and no lights/messages are on for that. Does anyone have any ideas what it might be?
Why does my DSC light keep coming on?
Unless the DSC light is coming on when it shouldn’t, this isn’t a problem and you’re good to go. The most common causes of a BMW DSC light are that you’ve accidentally turned the system off or you have a faulty wheel speed sensor.
When does the DSC system fault message come up?
When I first turn on the ignition, the message isn’t there and when I press the DSC button, the display shows DSC Off, then DSC On when pressed again (as expected). When I start the car, the fault message comes up on the dash (along with the amber light).
Can a DSC system fault be found on a Jaguar?
Chelmsford Carriage Company stuck her on diagnostic but typically the light stayed resolutely off and no fault was found. They’ve referred me to an auto electrical specialist but before I part with yet more of my hard-earned I wondered if anyone here had similar experience and/or ideas?

Why is my DSC not working in my car?
Sometimes it appears while I’m driving, sometimes on startup. If I turn everything off and restart the car it sometimes clears. It seems to be more frequent when it is raining – and without DSC (IE: Traction control) the car is a bit lairy in the wet, especially as I need to get the tyres replaced anyway (had to wait for payday on that one).
