Different TSC problem

Recently had coil overs installed, been noticing the TSC turns on shortly after driving, once it turns on, I can't shut it off. Tried turning off DSC, steering wheel relearner thing before driving and still comes on. Hard to tell if anything is happening back there such as if it is correcting itself or locking up while driving. Sometimes it acts up but most of the time its fine. Hard to hear anything while I'm driving, cause where I live the dirt roads are smoother than our paved roads and it's windy 24/7 and hearing anything other than road noise is rather difficult and still trying to get used to the car.

​​​Wondering if anyone had faced a similar problem, if it's as simple as disconnecting the battery, just some electrical issues, or if my car needs some work?

Your input is deeply appreciated.

Sounds like a wheel speed sensor. When you installed the coilovers, did you happen to damage a sensor wire at one of the wheels?

Also DSCis always on, unless the DSC light is on. The light means there is a problem and it is off

You can generally feel the minor DSC corrections pretty easily if you push it to that point. Generally it's a minor loss of power. If you encounter a major correction you would absolutely 100% know it. Wheels lock up, throttle gets cut, etc. Unless the light is shorted out for some reason, then it's safe to assume you have no DSC.

I'd bring it to a dealer and have them pull the codes. If it's a wheel speed sensor, I'm pretty sure they could even tell you which one. I'm not sure if autozone can pick these up though.

Thanks for the input guys, really appreciate it. I've been doing some more research and found some other symptoms along with the wheel speed sensor, but the main one I believe that it is, is that it needs a proper alignment. I will probably check the wheel sensors today.

And for loki's question, I unfortunately did not install them. I had taken my car to have the diff carrier bushings replaced. After it was said and done, I found out one of my shocks blew out. Long story short, I won a free set coilovers and just paid the mechanic to put em in. Wish I did it myself but, oh well.

Thank you again guys for the help.
