The car must first be calibrated  and then test driven if work is carried out on any vital components in the DSTC-system (steering wheel angle sensor, control module DSTC, control module steering angle sensor, brake pressure sensor (1 and 2), power brake booster, yaw rate sensor (1 and 2) or lateral acceleration sensor). Calibrating is carried out using VIDA (Volvo scan tool).

When calibrating in the workshop, position the car on a flat surface with the wheels pointing forward. Turn the steering wheel with the ignition turned on at least 15° to the right or left. Then turn the steering wheel to the center position and start calibrating.

The test drive must include at least one right and one left turn (more than 45°), cover at least 100 meters and a braking from 70 km/h to 50 km/h.

The test is passed if the DSTC warning lamp does not light.

Calibrate and test drive as above if any work that may have affected the steering and /or the wheel alignment (straight ahead position) has been carried out.
