The wheel speed sensor (or ABS wheel sensor) is one of the most common problems causing the DSC light to come on. These sensors fail due to water damage, dirt, or metallic particles collected on the sensor’s magnetic part. It would be best to replace the wheel speed sensor without first confirming it is the culprit.
Why are my blinkers not making a clicking sound?
