The Vehicle Stability Control light in my dash doesn't come up at all.Shouldn't this light come up with others when you turn the car on.When should it come up?How can I know if the VSC is working in my car?

which light are you referring too?

if your VSC wasnt turned on or there was pretty much anything wrong with it then there would be a large orange VSC lit on the dash.


the vsc light (the one with the little car and the squiggly lines) will flash and usually you will be too busy paying attention to the road to see it.

it doesnt always beep, it depends on the manner that you are losing traction.

if you are going from a standstill then doing a one eighty turn (for example) and you have the foot down quite a bit, but not flat to the floor then it will quite often flash as it changes from 1 to 2 or 2 to 3 to drop the accelration a bit.

it seems to beep when you trigger more than 2 of the sensors (eg you are actually starting to loose traction... however miniscule the amount is)
