DSC, DBC, Start-off Malfunction

I was driving on the highway when I got the DSC malfunction, and when i checked the vehicle info, it had the DBC and Start-off assistance malfunction. I have Eibach springs but they were installed a year ago with no problems. Also, I have aftermarket wheels. Any ideas on what it might be? I have an autocross on sunday and I dont want to drive it with these errors.

**Ignore the Increased emissions and brake lamp malfunctions, I had them before this happened.

Could be an alignment issue, or wheel angle sensor.

Wheel angle sensor?

Could be the steering angle sensor, a wheel speed sensor, or a number of other things. Usually it's a sensor that's giving readings out of spec. I would have the codes read and see what the specific problem is.

We can correct your increased emissions error and fix the tail lamp warnings if you are interested.

Good luck with getting the problem resolved.

Thanks, I took it to the dealer and got it fixed. You were right, it was a steering angle sensor and i paid $138 to fix it. Where are you located in SoCal exactly?

Glad you got it fixed, doesn't sound like you paid too much.

I am located in Marina Del Rey, but am frequently in West LA
