In a 2008 Ford Explorer, RSC stands for Roll Stability Control, which is a type of stability control system. RSC works alongside the anti-lock brake system to assist in regaining control of the vehicle during a spin or slide. It can apply braking force to individual wheels or all four wheels if necessary to stabilize the vehicle. Additionally, RSC can decrease engine power even when the gas pedal is fully pressed. These systems depend on various sensors for proper operation, such as wheel speed sensors that monitor the rotation speed of each wheel. If any of these sensors, as well as other components like the brake light switch, are defective, it may cause malfunctions in the system.
