What does VSC mean in a car?
1 Answers
VSC in a car refers to the Vehicle Stability Control system. A VSC malfunction indicates that the anti-skid and traction control systems of the car are faulty, which may lead to skidding on extreme road conditions such as icy surfaces. The methods 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; 4. If the VSC light is on, it means the VSC system is turned off. The VSC system works by detecting whether the wheels are about to lock and can individually adjust the braking force of the wheels, utilizing 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 a turn.
