DSC Light stays on

Unlike other posts I dont have multiple lights on just the DSC. It came on last week and turned off. Then today while driving in the rain it came back on. After letting the car sit it turned off. The car drives fine except for the light. Any ideas on which sensor is bad, loose, dirty? The reason I say loose is I had this happen once before when I had my control arm bushings replaced when they gave me the car back the light was on. The "mechanic" crawled under the drivers side and did something and the light turned off. How do I check?

Yeah, seems to me like a faulty sensor, you must check all four sensors, I guess there's no way around that. How? I don't know, maybe you can ask your mechanic to check them all and do the same as they did before?

Have you tried to skid or break on wet pavement or even dirt? Do you feel if your ABS/DSC system kicks in? (when I do that, I feel the ABS vibrations on the break pedal) that way at least you know if your ABS/DSC is working or not.

I dunno, just thinking out loud here...

Well its been less than a year and my DSC light came back on.......this is really getting on my nerves. Last time it was the left side wheel sensor......I feel like I have baby this car or something goes wrong.
