Sounds like you may have knocked an ABS sensor loose.

Thats what i thought also... but ABS works fine, and only the DTC/ASC don't work...

Hey, finally someone with some sense in his head...
My GF is 5 months pregnant, driving around in a car with 320hp, and over 700nm...
Roads are slippery beyond anything you have ever experienced, i'm not bragging about the weather conditions here but... weather here can get pretty crazy...
You can have sun at 7:30 in the morning... with 8?c warm... at noon it can change to rain, with around 3?c... and then at 2 there is snow... at -5?c.... and around dinner everything is covered with snow... -8?c....
this is pretty much what happened here about a week ago...
two days before, we had some "slab" wet snow.... and i changed to the winter set... but shortly after, the driving control message came up...
I cherish my loved ones.... and with a baby on the way, i want her the safest...

Congrats on your baby. Just out of curiosity, how much snow do you get in Iceland, during the course of a full winter?
How much you say.... i'm not sure... how is "LOADS" for an answer
Sometimes it's very clear, almost no snow... and sometimes, we're almost snowed in our houses...
Like today, there's not much snow... i'd say... on the scale from 0-10... today is 1,6 and it looks like this (Picture taken inside a Mini Cooper S):
Where as this would be a 4;
And this would be more like 8, if it was in town... and that occurs often;
this is what it looks like right after a snow storm;
Today it's -5?c cold... but... because of the moisture climate we have here -5?c here is like -25?c in a more dry climate...

Check the level of your hydraulic fluid. The fluid shrinks with the cold (-5 C is not really cold yet!). This is more of an issue if you have the active steering (it uses the hydraulic fluid) and is some how tied into the DSC.
A top up of the hydraulic fluid solved my DSC problem last winter.

I have Active Steering, so this is probably the issue...
