Hi All,

Just a quick one, on a few occasions when putting my foot down in the car the dsc light comes on and the power is cut so i lose speed. If I let off and re apply the power the dsc still overrides my throttle, if I turn the button off I regain power.

I dont thrash it when this happens and to be honest it happens sometimes when im putting my foot down and sometimes when im just slowly driving along.

Not so long ago I had front tyres on car changed and rear ones tracked and balanced is there a chance something could of been disturbed?

Anyone have any ideas on the problem?

thank you in advance to any replies !

Cheers
Chris

If your front and rear tires are vastly different in diameter..and circumference...it may be thinking the wheels are spinning when they are not

Thats why you should always replace all the tires not just 2 at a time

It could be a bad sensor.
