Terrain Response Goes to Mud Ruts when I start Engine!!

Good afternoon guys from the Island of Malta Smile
I have a FL2 and yesterday I did some offroading but strangely since this morning every time I start the engine the Terrain Response is going to Mud Ruts and the DSC is switching on, then I have to put the T.R to General, does anyone knows what is this fault pls?

thanks in advance for your help

Have a look at this thread. Maybe you have a big voltage drop when you crank the engine.
Anyway you should attach an extra earth from batt minus to the engine block.

Dear Printzern
Before I added the second negative I checked the battery terminals and found that both of them were a bit dirty:) and found grease as well.
I cleaned everything put some vaseline on terminals and all ok for now, if I encounter same problem I will add the second negative to the engine block but for now it's working.
thanks for now
Cesco

Ok, good. If you add a second earth cable you will probably also notice that the engine crank a little faster, but I guess you do not have the same cold climate as we have in Norway. Smile
