DSC warning message

[dutchiev8v]

Had a very nice, albeit snowy, ride out today with a good group of Lancaster Sevenoaks Astons and a few Lambos and Bentleys. After approx 10 miles into the trip I had this warning message coming up at the dash, saying: "DSC needs checking, traction control temporarily unavailable".

I stopped the car, switched the engine off for a couple of minutes and after restarting the message was gone.

Has anyone ever had this before?
What can it be? Im driviing a my2010 V8V with sporthift.

Thanks for any views!

Sounds like a, "glitch", I thought mine was a glitch, but it came back.

In effect, the ECU finds a problem with your electric gagetry, and then turns it off to stop anything going wrong, so if your ABS, "breaks", rather than have 1 wheel's ABS coming on at any time, the ECU turns the unit off.

I had exactly the same message plus ABS light, I'm changing the Sensors shortly and see where we are going ......

Thanks Maverick - will keep an eye on it. If it comes back I'll take it back to the dealer for a quick check - still under warranty (and dont mind it functioning properly! )

@ Tony: It certainly was good fun. We went down to the coast (Hythe Bay) and had some fish a chips. Seemed few people stuck to the original route planner, but that was probably a result of the weather too.
