Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Engine Drag Control (EDC) (Applies For S60 (11-), V60, XC60)
Engine Drag Control (EDC) is a function that is part of the DSTC/ESC function. It is a stability function that prevents the wheels locking when engine braking. These situations can occur on slippery surfaces when the driver quickly releases the accelerator pedal or when down shifting. To prevent the wheels from locking, the Brake Control Module (BCM) requests an increase in wheel torque from the Engine Control Module (ECM). EDC can also prevent the wheels locking when braking with ABS on slippery surfaces.
