How does the DSC work? Is it hydraulic? I'd always assumed it was part of the air suspension but having found a leak at the back of the car I'm assuming it's hydraulic and I have a leak on the rear part. Does it operate on the rear ARB? There seems to be a hydraulic motor or something like that but can't see properly. Looks like a trip to the garage! It's odd that it only seems to have started since my new air suspension compressor was fitted but pretty sure they can't be linked. 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE- Cairns Blue with 22" Stormers |

It's just LR's term for traction control (applying the brake to a wheel if it slips) and is controlled by the Vehicle Dynamic Module (ABS Module).

Close but not right - what you describe is Traction Control but not stability control. To over simplyfy DSC like TC uses the ABS system but instead of detecting wheel slip it detects vehicle sideways or yaw movement in the vehicle and applies appropriate brakes to try to correct. You cannot turn Traction Control off as it is controlled by the TR system but you can turn DSC off and still have TC on. So it is not LR's term for traction control as DSC and TC are different systems just as ABS is a different system but all use the same components but in a different manner for different purposes.

Fair point. I was kind of thinking traction control without a capital "T" (if you get my drift), but you're right, a poor choice of wording on my part. Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

So when would you turn it off?

Wherever you are doing slow/technical offroad DSC should be turned off - basically offroad where any sideways motion is not going to be a danger to the vehicle - hi speed offroad it should remain on for safety reasons.
