DSC Passive Switching

DSC switched to passive

If this fault is detected, the DSC switches off immediately.

This is intended to prevent that the traction control system suddenly brakes the vehicle in the case of extreme (intended) fast starts or loss of wheel speed sensors.

The DSC becomes active again when all 4 wheels are moving slower than 2.75 km/h.

Possible cause(s) of fault:
Fast start with extreme tire slip directly after ignition on

Front wheel speed sensors have been incorrectly fitted or have fallen out, which means that they do not register a speed signal from the impulse wheels

Storage condition(s):
The fault is set if the following situation occurs for at least 0.2 seconds directly after the initialization phase:

Wheel speed of the front wheels is less than 10 km/h

Wheel speed of the rear wheels at least 20 km/h greater than the wheel speed of the front wheels

Troubleshooting procedure:
Check that the front wheel speed sensors have been installed correctly
