I was driving the car to work everything was fine then I went out for lunch and the light was on. What could it be? I ran a scan and zero codes. Car has 18 inch wheels. Oils it be a speed sensor or Dec pumpu?? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Having read a few other posts on this subject, check your ABS fuses, brake fluid level, and you could try to reset the DSC as follows:

From another board:
"try getting into the car and push the dsc button in, turn the key but don't start the car, keep the button held in for ten second. this will reset the abs sensors. Then start the car and go for a quick drive. Turn the car off and then back on and see if the light goes off. If it does not then you have a problem with the dsc. Check the fuse for the abs, if thats working then you a bad abs sensor or worse a faulty abs control unit."

I had an E39 Alpina with this problem. It turned out to be the throttle valve sensor with was sending a signal to the wheel speed sensors.

I used to just reset it by turning engine off waiting a few minutes and then starting up and driving off again.

Probably will need to go on proper diagnostic machine.

The wheel speed sensors adjust how the traction control works and if they dont work properly, it turns the DSC off.

As others have said, check brake fluid, sensors, etc and if not go to main / independant dealer to get diagnostic done

turned the car on and off few time and it went off. Not sure what made it go on. I think I might have low brake fluid because I have been due for a front brake for about few weeks now. So im sure the brake fluid is low because the pistons in the caliper are pushed all the way out.
