Dsc

Does anyone know how to tune (adjust, reduce sensitivity) of the DSC? It seems that every time a wheel looses a tiny bit of traction, it backs the power WAY down for about 3 seconds; definitely not the fastest way to exit a turn! I have a Torsen differential, but my motor makes enough power to spin both wheels. Which means the system must be looking at all 4 wheel speed sensors; not just the fronts.

Mine is always off when I start the car (Ian Cull's module). It's really something annoying and can actually be dangerous when it decides to cut power when you try to merge and there's sand/ gravel on the road.

I'm pretty sure I've read over the years of people getting it modified via a tune, but it could also be my memory mixing things up.

+1 on turn it off. It serves no purpose. Do yourself a favor and turn it off as soon as you start the car.

The problem with that is you have this annoying amber light right in the middle of your tach. At least, I find it annoying; which is why I asked about turning it's sensitivity down.
