DTC/DSC

Digger77 · 04-06-2009, 05:47 PM

I'm due to have a laser 4 wheel alignment (KDS) carried out by my local indie, do I need to have the DTC/DSC reset?

If so is this a dealer job?

I've never heard of that one. I don't think so.

There is no reset on the stability systems AFAIK?

No there is absolutely no DSC reset necessary after an alignment

Thanks, I'd never heard of a reset following alignment......reckon my BMW "specialist" is not so special after all.

How much are they charging you for this if you mind me asking?

Digger77 · 04-07-2009, 06:20 AM

£10 to check alignment....then up to £60 depending on amount of adjustment required.

Scares me how little some so-called "professionals" know

After installing the rear BMW performance brakes the ABS needs to be reset and this is part of the DSC according to BMW. I'd be interested to know how much the $tealer charges for this?

If the dealer is installing the Performance Brake Kit, then they don't charge for the reprogramming of the DSC system. The ABS circuity itself isn't changed, just the DSC parameters for brake balance and rear wheel control. However, the difference is minor and isn't actually necessary. I am running AP Racing brakes all the way round, and haven't needed to touch the DSC system at all. Same with a lot of other people I know using the same, or similar, systems.

But certainly, there is NO need to do anything to the DSC system after a 4-wheel alignment...
