Post by teovolvo »

When I turn on the ignition key , for a couple of second I get the message "dstc service required" and after that it disappear. The dstc service seems to work fine.

Dynamic stability and traction control (DSTC) uses sensors to check wheel speed. If it's like the 850/S70/V70, the sensors can get gummed up with road debris and dirt and cause an error to trigger. I'd look at your problem from that angle.

Sorry, I don't know what/where the sensors are, but if you see a wire running to something around the inside of the wheel, chances are it leads to a sensor.
