DSC cutting in

Evening all.

I'm having a problem with my 2008 L322 3.6 TDV8. In moderate road driving, dry conditions, the DSC is cutting in when going around moderate corners. The yellow warning light in the centre of the display flashes for a few seconds and the car can be felt to brake itself, as if it is correcting a skid.

I've done some searching about it. As a result, I have just changed my transfer case oil and recalibrated it using my IID. There are no related fault codes showing up.

Any suggestions what I should investigate next?

Possibly ABS sensor related. There is a thread about reluctor rings corroding on the rears (joe90 Iirc), but I can’t remember if that produced a similar problem. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I would check all the suspension bushes, had the same problem on a D3, it was the rear nearside inner top bush. As you say, it activated the DSC thinking the car was skidding as the suspension geometry was changing during cornering.

The steering angle sensor may be out of calibration.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Forgot to mention I have recalibrated the steering angle sensor and that didn't make any difference.

I'll have a good look at all the bushes and ball joints. Front end is all recently replaced but the rear end is older.

Cheers.

Rear bushes are a favourite... The rear of the car starts self steering and that sets off the DSC which can be quite daunting the first few times it happens! If its the rear then it should be very noticeable! Another quick tip, if you have a trolly jack? Jack the rear up as you usually would using the jacking points and check for movement... If you don't find much then re jack the car under the lower wishbone (trying not to lift the body too much away from the top of the wheel/tyre) BE CAREFUL!!! just enough to get your tyre off the ground and check for movement again Thumbs Up

Ok, bit embarrassing this. Check my tyre pressures, one of the fronts was soft. All back to full pressure, problem solved!
