In cars equipped with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) systems, it is relatively common to encounter problems related to the wheel speed sensors. When one of the cables of these sensors breaks, the ABS and VSA lights on the dashboard usually come on, which can be a cause for concern for drivers. Before taking the recommended step of taking the car to a garage for diagnosis and repair, there are ways to find out what is happening with your vehicle yourself. One such approach is to use the SCS mode, short for Service Check System. This mode is a valuable tool for identifying anomalies that are not related to the vehicle's electronic injection circuit. By activating the SCS mode, you can access detailed information about the status of the ABS and VSA systems, as well as other components of the car that may be affected. This allows you to have a more precise understanding of the problem, which can be useful when discussing the situation with a mechanic or when deciding whether you can carry out some basic intervention on your own. So before you panic about the ABS and VSA warning lights, consider using SCS mode to gain more insight into your vehicle’s health and take appropriate action to resolve any identified issues. Remember, proper maintenance and early detection of issues can help keep your car running safely and efficiently.
