My car has the DSC light on, getting my inspection done soon..will that effect the outcome of it passing? Thanks
I live in Texas .

 

I expect it will.
You need to get the codes checked and determine what is causing the light to show.

 

Yes, +1 you will more than likely not be able to pass inspection. As Norri suggested obtain an OBD2 scanner capable of accessing the ABS module - that is where your code(s) are stored.

 

Sadly, most ordinary OBD tools won't provide those codes

It's often a rear reluctor or sensor so you might try cleaning and hope.

 

Thanks guys just don't want spend 175$ just for the dealer to take a look at the car when it could be something as easy as a sensor.

 

I hear you - check out the thread "approved scanners" - I always hear that the ELM327 is a good option to retrieve codes.

I have had general luck with a Matco Determinator to gain access into the ABS sytem (through the Ford Domestic application) - however, I recently scored a deal on a Jaguar WDS analyzer - so no more trips to the dealership!

 

The elm327 is great but the software won't fetch ABS module codes.

 

Must be nice

 

Yeh, it sucks having to rely on the dealership for these common problems - wish the OBD2 cord was long enough to reach TX - I's hook you up!

 

Hey how much did the WDS run you?
That would be the ultimate for a shade tree mechanic!

Might be tough getting the latest software updates?

It was frozen years ago I think (but good for the things it covers). I'd like it & IDS/SDD if I were to work on the cars as the techs do (not something I do want to do!).
