The diagnostic trouble code 5DF4 in the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) module of your vehicle indicates that the battery voltage is too low or there is an open circuit in the DSC system.

Here are some possible causes and solutions for this issue:

1. Weak or discharged battery: Check the battery voltage using a multimeter. If the battery voltage is low or the battery is discharged, it may need to be recharged or replaced. Ensure the battery connections are clean and tight. A weak battery can result in low voltage readings and trigger this fault code.
2. Charging system issues: Inspect the alternator and charging system to ensure they are functioning properly. A faulty alternator or charging system can lead to insufficient charging of the battery, resulting in low voltage. Have the alternator and charging system tested by a professional mechanic and replace any faulty components if necessary.
3. Loose or corroded battery terminals: Check the battery terminals for tightness and signs of corrosion. Loose or corroded terminals can cause voltage drop and affect the battery voltage. Clean the terminals if necessary and ensure they are securely tightened.
4. Open circuit in the DSC system: There may be an open circuit or loose connection within the DSC system, causing the low voltage reading. Inspect the wiring harness and connectors associated with the DSC module. Look for any signs of damage, loose connections, or corrosion. Repair or replace any damaged wiring or connectors as needed.
5. Faulty DSC module or related components: In rare cases, the DSC module or other related components may be faulty, causing the low voltage reading. A professional diagnostic scan and inspection of the DSC system are recommended to identify and resolve any component failures.

It’s important to note that these suggestions are general, and the specific diagnostic and repair procedures may vary depending on the make, model, and year of your vehicle. If you are unsure or uncomfortable performing these steps yourself, it is recommended to seek assistance from a qualified mechanic or dealership. They will have the expertise and tools to accurately diagnose and resolve the low battery voltage issue indicated by the 5DF4 DSC diagnostic trouble code.
