DSC won’t go away.

DSC won’t go away.
Got a 2003 XK8. DSC light came on. Went to a British auto specialist in my area. They checked the wheel sensors and wires. Reflashed the anti lock module. Gave it back to me with two more lights on. Anti lock and check engine.
Took it to another Indy that specializes in British cars. Changed all four wheel sensors and checked the wiring to them. Installed a used module. Nothing changed. Got them another module. Same thing no change. Brand new battery.
Any ideas before I set fire to it?

And you would likely have a C1165 or C1175 as the DTC that would lead you directly to a fault in the rear wheel speed sensor circuit(s).
There are ways to determine a DSC or ABS problem without an actual DTC but it sure speeds up a diagnosis if you get the actual codes.

More than likely, the lead from the sensor to the rest of the harness has to be repaired. There is probably an intermittent break that passes a basic continuity check, but manifests itself with suspension movement. Depending on your VIN, the part may or may not be available (the early model is NLA) and the catalog does not say the later part "supersedes" the earlier one. The alternative is to check Rockauto and buy the connectors alone and "make" your own cable, transferring all the rubber bits from the old cable.
Other option is that is actually is a break in the lead from the fender to the control module. You might have to trace it and check it all out. Maybe even run a temporary bypass pair of wires.
Best of luck, keep us posted.
