Default DSC Button Light

If the tiny light on the DSC button is on,
does that tell me that the DSC is enabled or disabled?

Thanks

I wondered the same. Had to read instruction manual,I sometimes do that when all else fails. Car stepped out big time a over 100 KPH prompted a review of this

Appears that the little light is to warn you that it is OFF. I sort of got used to most cars having a light ON to indicate it is ON.

Some one please correct me if I read the manual backwards. Because the 'S' button shows red when it is ON as does the cruise. So the DSC appears to be the opposite.

Thanks for posing the question ETexJag as I'm also interested to hear from the better informed.

yep - I now see that when I cycle the button,
the message center tells me that the DSC is off
when the button light is on.

Thanks for the quick reply Gipps.

Welcome to the forum.

It means there is likely a fault in the abs system and you have no control over rear wheel spin.

You need to have the codes read to know what specifically is wrong. Most generic code readers do not read abs system codes, so you may have to locate a foreign car specialist.

Are there any other warning lights showing?
