Help, trying to figure out what is going on

I am getting an intermittent flashing DSC light when I am driving normally. There is an accompanying loss of power (feels like the car is missing which goes away immediately when the light goes out). It lasts for a couple of seconds and then goes away. I scanned the codes and there are none. A while ago I got a solid DSC light (miss cyl 1 code) but this is a flashing… just like I am losing traction but the ground is dry.

Any thoughts? Speed sensor going bad?

What scanner are you using.....Generic scans like you get at Autozone aren't going to read DSC faults and without the proper scanner, you'll need either a crystal ball or a magic wand to get the fault codes.....
