2008 Trouble shoot what does 'service rsc' mean

[SusanStevenson]

Hi I am a new member. I have a 2008 Ford Explorer and the panel on the dash is displaying 'SERVICE RSC NOW.' In addition the 'ABS' light is on, a picture of an orange wrench has appeared and there is a very loud alarm going off, which I've never heard. Can anyone tell me what all this means before I take it to a mechanic?

It means you either have a shot wheel bearing or one of your rings or sensors is pooched on the front or rear hubs.

RSC is your "Roll Stability Control" system, and it is related to the ABS.

Right now, you don't have any ABS.
