What does VSC mean in a car?
1 Answers
The VSC in a car refers to the Vehicle Stability Control system. A VSC malfunction indicates that the car's anti-skid and traction control systems are faulty, which may cause skidding on extreme road conditions such as icy surfaces. The steps to address a VSC system malfunction are: 1. Ensure the vehicle is stationary and the parking brake pedal is released; 2. Start the engine; 3. Press the parking brake lightly and step on the brake pedal twice; 4. Release the parking brake pedal. The VSC system utilizes technology that detects whether the wheels are about to lock and can individually adjust the braking force on each wheel, along with sensors and computational control. It continuously monitors and processes signals from sensors in the steering system, wheels, and body to determine if the vehicle is skidding during turns.
