System Components





The DSC system consists of following components:
^ DSC Control Module (MK60)
^ DSC button
^ Wheel speed sensors
^ DSC yaw rate sensor

Control Module





The DSC Control Module (MK 60) is located in the engine compartment at the left front on the strut tower (as shown above). The Control Module is mounted on the valve block assembly.

DSC Button





The DSC button is located in the center console switch center (1) next to the SPA button. DTC mode is activated by briefly pressing the DSC I button.
A DTC symbol in the instrument cluster provides the driver with visual confirmation.
By pressing and holding the DSC button for longer than 3 seconds the DSC function switches off completely and the DSC symbol is illuminated in the instrument cluster. The ABS function is always on line.
The DSC function is reactivated by briefly pressing the DSC button once again. The visual symbol goes out. The DSC symbol flashing signals to the driver that a DSC control intervention is active. By cycling the ignition switch, DTC will be deactivated and DSC is automatically on line (DTC or DSC deactivation must be reselected by the driver).

DSC Sensor





The DSC sensor is located under the passengerss seat on the seat mounting brace/floor pan (1). The sensor is connected via a separate CAN(DSC CAN High and DSCCAN Low) to the DSC module. It registers the transverse acceleration and the yaw rate.
