';ASC'; Automatic Stability Control Problem?

when my ASC control light is off, my car will sparadically lundge forward(either lunge or pulling back not sure) for a short period while i am trying to accelerate and when I push the button and the light comes on i doesnt do this. I think that i am turning it off by bringing the light on because when i turn the car on the light is off so i think when the ASC is on the light is off and when it is off the light is on. But my problem is the jumping. Why is it doing this and is there a way i can fix it by myself. And i dont really need it fixed it have gotten use to turning it off when i get in.';ASC'; Automatic Stability Control Problem?
You can not fix this yourself. Not in your dreams when you have a BMW. And you are right that the ASC/DSC is turned off when you push the button and the light goes on.


The car basically needs reprogramming of its power train modules


(EGS primarily which is the transmission module) as the first step.


But at its age, the car would definitely benefit from a complete scan with a BMW GT1 (which only a dealer and some advanced independents have) which I would also recommend.


The more reason that a scan is needed in the off chance that your car has a manual transmission.


But if you are not really interested in having it fixed why did you go to this forum in the first place? Just run it down to the ground.';ASC'; Automatic Stability Control Problem?
I think you have a problem with your ASC. You should try to find another similar car and change the ABS computer card. The ASC is on the: Anti-Lock Brake System computer card. Otherwise you could try going to a diagnostics center and try finding Fault Codes that may lead you to some related equipment failures. Or go to a BMW dealer for assistance. When the ASC light is on, the ASC is non-operational.
