Roll Stability Control (RSC®) System

The RSC®  system constantly monitors vehicle roll motion, except when the vehicle is traveling in reverse, and aids in keeping the vehicle stable during sudden or abrupt maneuvers. This is accomplished by the ABS module and the HCU  modulating brake fluid pressure to the affected brake caliper(s) and by the PCM modulating engine torque. The combination of reduced engine torque and modulated brake fluid pressure aids in reducing the cornering forces and, therefore, the total roll momentum acting on the vehicle.

When the RSC®  system activates, the vehicle produces the same noticeable symptoms as it does when the traction control and ESC  systems activate.
