What to Do When the VDC Off Light Comes On?
1 Answers
When the VDC Off light illuminates in your car, simply turn the switch back on. This usually happens when the Vehicle Dynamic Control system is accidentally turned off. If the issue is not with the switch, then the Vehicle Dynamic Control system may be malfunctioning, and it will need to be inspected at a repair shop to resolve the problem. The VDC system integrates the control systems of major components such as the brakes, drivetrain, suspension, steering, and engine, enabling the car to take timely evasive actions on icy or curved roads. The VDC system controls steering primarily by managing the braking of individual wheels. For example, when the car is turning left and the front wheels tend to slide out of the curve due to insufficient steering capability, the VDC system will appropriately apply the brake to the left rear wheel.
