DSC Issue at Track

pikkashoe · 04-18-2008, 11:57 PM

Went to my local 1/8 mile track tonight and a weird thing happened.

First two runs everything was fine, (well not really, I suck at launching).

Go to line up for the third run, and I noticed my DSC completely turned off and the brake light comes up but in yellow? Granted I had hit DSC but only once, but now its completely off. I hit DSC and it does nothing, the car fails to put back the DSC. I run down the track but its a useless run, absolutely no traction.

I turn the car on and off, and its still there. At this point im so frustrated and I park the car and go watch some races to get my mind off the car. I get back about 20 minutes later, turn the car on and its fine. Anyone experience this.

I just checked the manual and it doesnt really say anything, and it doesnt mention the yellow brake light either.

Not sure if it's related but my car does this on the dyno as well. I get the amber brake light come on, and the srs light too. goes away once I drive around for a couple minutes.

Hmm so no one knows what this is. Im grateful its gone now, but I want to know what caused it. Ruined my drag strip night last night! My SRS light did not come on though like yours james.

This is normal if you run on the dyno. Excessive rear wheel spin with the front wheels not moving will cause this. It goes away once you drive off normally after a few hundred feet.
