I noticed that if i turn VDC off with my car running. I can't turn it back on without killing the ignition. Is this normal behaviour?

Cheers

 

dont think so if your just driving normally. mine does if i start drifting around.

 

Well if i turn it off.. It should never come on.. But if i want to turn it back on.. I have to turn the car off then back on.

 

not normal. get it checked out

 

Doesn't sound normal to me.

 

wait a minute.

are you turning it off so that you can drift?

if you turn it off, and drift, then yes you are correct. it wont turn back on until you cut the ignition.

if you turn it off and drive normal (for whatever reason why u would want to turn it off) and dont drift, then try and turn it back on, and it will not engage, then that is not normal.

 

I think it should light up the vdc off and the slip light if you have to cut the ignition. If the vdc off light is the only one on then it should act as normal, meaning you have control.

 

Ok i'll describe it better..

Car on. I turn VDC off. Light comes on.. I slide her around a few turns.. Push the VDC button and it wont turn back on. I have to turn the car off. Back on. Then VDC is enabled again.

Honestly i've never turned VDC off and not thrown it around a corner. So maybe this is normal as above.

 

Sounds weird to me.

 

happened to me check ur brake fluid my my vdc would go off and slip light would coem on randomly drove me crazy checked the brake fluid it looked a little low filled it and it never happned again

 

I turn my VDC off all of the time because it seems too sensitive. I maybe in the minority, but I like having control over my car. I don't want the brakes cutting in or the power being affected. I've driven three winters on Blizzaks and haven't had any problems with the VDC off. Are there any advantages that I am missing?

 

if u turn off vdc and then do some drifting/donuts/etc.. it will require you to turn the car off before vdc can be reactivated. completely normal, nothing to worry about.

 

Ok great. Thats what i wanted to hear.

Outta curiosity.. Any idea why its like that? You'd think you could turn it on/off whenever you wanted..

Thanks mate

 

not a clue why it is programmed that way. maybe so you don't accidentally turn it back on during spirited driving.

 

+1.. read your owners manual.

 

You can buy the KP module so that you can turn it on and off whenever you want.

 

Hey Baby LOL..why don't you try turning VDC off, DO NOT spin the wheels, and try to turn it back on again. Should work. This way you'll know everything's working as it should.

 

Im a little wirried about your opening few words.. But yes i tried it and all was well...

People actually read there owners manual front to back? Thats no fun.. Push buttons and play. Thats how i want to learn a new car.

 

Unfortunately, that's a five year old's way of doing it.

 

Or an enthusiasts that would rather learn there car than have a salesman or manual go through every single option with him..
