pot hole damage

[akita1]

Yesterday I found a small pothole which has resulted in virtually brand new front tyre ruined a chunk out of the wheel and more worryingly the traction control light now on with the message dsc service any thoughts on the warning lights?thanks.

Typically, anything which would stop the wheels from rotating at the same speed will set off those lights, so it could be simply that the damaged wheel is enough to upset it.

If you replace the wheel/tyre and the warning lights persist, use an ODB reader to double check the fault and go from there.

This happened to me in an Alfa a few years, I photographed the damage to the wheel, tyre and car, and the local council paid out as the pothole had been there a significant amount of time.

I had to replace this ABS sensor a few years ago and from memory I may have had the message you refer to.

The wiring to the sensor also had water ingress and the dealer fixed that as well to cure the problem
