DSC Service message DB9

[sportie]

I got the car out yesterday after puting it away a week ago and a messages pop up, Something like engine temp too high and then DSC service required and traction turned off. Not seen the temp message since, but this morning again it has come up saying DSC service and traction off. Restarting the car wont reset it.

Has anybody else had this? or ideas how to clear it other than a trip to the dealer?

Yes - not a serious issue really sportie but certainly a glitch to get fixed next time you are at a dealer - or if you are in warranty, ask them to collect and correct like I did. Can be a sensor issue if I recall correctly.

For the mo, you have no traction control - many on this forum switch it off anyway.

Just lay off the throttle a wee bit when going round corners in the wet, eh

Had the same problem on my V8 Vantage. Turned out to be a faulty relay on top of the master cylinder.

£167 fitted.

Would disconnecting the battery reset the codes?

I don't believe so.

I think the root of the problem is a sensor (possibly brake or wheel speed. Can't remember).

I have tried that but unfortunatly no it didnt clear rhe fault..........

Would an obd2 code reader show anything up? I guess they only talk to the ECU, rather than the other modules.

I have one and plugged it into the engine socket and it showed no faults. It wont connect to the other socket (body) as that must require the software from AM?

Thanks for all the suggestions guys , I am just going to have to contact the dealer in the morning

It will most likely be a Brake pressure transducer, take a few mins to fit and are not that much to buy.

I had the same on my return from holiday 3 weeks ago. It was fixed at the dealer and was an £8.80 micro-switch for the brake transducer (not stocked by the dealer!)

What does the brake transducer do?

Fixed this morning in an hour by Stratstone Hagley , it was the brake transducer as suggested.
