Is the Outlander's Vehicle Stability Control System Light On Indicating It's Turned Off or On?
1 Answers
When the Outlander's Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system light is on, it indicates that the system is turned off. Below are situations where the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) needs to be turned off: When the vehicle is stuck in mud or sand during off-roading: If the vehicle is trying to climb out of mud, there may be a significant difference in wheel speed between the two sides. In this case, if the ESP is active, the engine torque will be continuously consumed by the wheel with less rolling resistance, and the ESP will limit the engine RPM. Even if you press the accelerator hard, it may be difficult to get out of the situation. Turning off the ESP at this time will make it easier to escape. When aggressive driving is desired: During drifting, there will be a large difference in wheel speed between the left and right wheels. If the ESP intervenes, it will be difficult to achieve an aggressive driving experience. Turning off the ESP will make it easier to perform impressive maneuvers. When snow chains are installed on the vehicle: For vehicles equipped with snow chains, detection signals such as those from wheel speed sensors and lateral acceleration sensors may become inaccurate. This can affect the normal operation of the ESP system, causing it to intervene continuously or trigger fault codes.
