Does holding the DSC button while starting the car change anything?

[carbosam]

Ive read a while ago somewhere that it change something, for 1 thing the ''wheel spinning'' light stay on if you hold the DSC button while starting the care...

Ive also read it remove the torque management system while you turn, any thruth to that?

You guy have any info on what it does? or do it do anything?

that thread doesnt answer my question

 

[solidtrance]

read the post he refered you to more carefully, it answers all your questions..... If you don't like the answers, can't help you there. Or you could find any of the fifteen to twenty other threads about this yourself. Use the search button up at the top of the page. If you are waiting for someone to respond to this thread with a long winded explanation of the DSC/TSC system you are in for a long wait. The people who turely understand it (not me, I mean the really smart guys) got tired of answering this question a long time ago.

Yes it does. -1 for reading comprehension!

The OP:

I'm wondering how many of you turn off DSC almost every time you hop in the car?

That sentence and the responses validate that it does, indeed, exist.

To the OP

Turn dsc off you spin tires mad jdm like, with button on you get bad tire spin.

its traction control wtf do you think it does.????

 

[carbosam]

Well if someone could tell me that would be much simplier than to explain me why you wont tell me!

But i get you guys want to save the internet!

i know you can spin the tire more with it simply off, my question is what do it do differently if you hold it while turning on the car...which is when the ''wheel spin'' light stay on..

BTW the MS3 doesnt make the tire spin all that much if you know how to lauch

supposedly it will disable everything. even down to ABS

 

[Bravnik]

It simply turns of DCS and TCS both.

 

[carbosam]

does it remove the the steering angle/torque management? Does anyone know this?

 

[Nliiitend1]

Ugh...not this again...

TCS and DSC go off when you hit that button, regardless of the "method."

What this "method" does is put the system into some unknown "fail mode" or something that some people claim is the holy grail of performance improvement.

The steering angle component of the torque management system is not affected by the DSC button, nor by the "method" described above.

Simply put, the answer to your question is "no."

but does it turn off the ABS?

 

[gonerogue]

but does it turn off the ABS?

Yes, but it also turns off your instrument panel so you can't really tell.
