DSC cutting in too often one way only.

**Glynhouse** · 8th October 2013, 09:28 PM

My DSC comes on in a right hand corner far too early !

When "she" is not in the car I cannot get it too cut in at all without being silly, but up and down the Kuranda range just driving along with her in the passenger seat it cuts in on right hand corners for no reason, not every corner not even every trip just now and then, it sounds awful, like a flat tyre on the outside and the light flashes on the dash, certainly gets your attention.
If I hit a corner too hard with the van on it does or at least has come on turning both ways - I try not to do that !

Have not spoken to the service folk yet thought I would ask here first, just come back from a quick trip Cairns to Townsville and back no probs but then there are not any corners on that road, no van.

Any suggestions ?

Check tyre pressures, wheel alignment and steering sensor calibration. Unless you've bent something, it should be one of those.

Is it DSC cutting in or Traction Control cutting in because you are going around right hand corners a bit too quick

and lifting an inside wheel.

+1. I had the issue once in my D3. Turned out i had a nail in the rear left. Tyre repaired, and issue stopped.

Check your shock absorbers.

If lifting an inside wheel, I'd hate to see how high the outside ones are

Try running your hand around your tyres to see if one has gone out of round , Sounds exactly what I had happen and one rear tyre had a large bump or egg in it . put spare on and fixed

Another vote on checking tyre pressures.
D3 will do this if you have an under inflated tyre such as a slow leak.

No idea, but I can't make it happen by "pushing", occurs when driving reasonably sedately.
Was doing it with the 18"'s on still doing it now with 17's on tyres pressures are fine.

How do you tell wether it is traction or stability cutting in ?
