E90 DSC&DTC - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

sailorimc · 02-03-2012, 10:43 AM

Hi there,
I know this topic was already discussed and i did read the manual for my BMW E90, but i am still confused

about this technology :
--how do i know if DSC and DTC are disabled or enabled?
--does anyone knows if after STOP and START cycle the DSC&DTC remains still disabled or they are reset to enable?
Many thanks,

They are reset on start up.

Also.. when you hit the button once, I believe it disable DSC and activates DTC.. if you press and hold the button it disables both and displays a traction symbol

When you hit the button DTC the DSC enters DTC mode, a version of the DSC. When you hold it for 3 seconds, DSC is turned but ABS, ABD, etc are left on.

EDIT: DTC replaces DSC when activated.

EDIT 2: I was correct originally, DTC is a mode of DSC.

Thanks,

It's in normal mode (DSC on) when there are no lights on the dash. Press the DTC button once quickly when in either DTC or DSC off and it will turn DSC back on fully.

DTC on will show DTC on the dash. DSC off will show DSC symbol on the dash.
