Default widetrack dccd

Hello not long ago bought a widetrack 05 new to the dccd only had a wrx before this. for some unknown reason the car bunny hops in slow turning on full lock when in auto mode , going forward or backwards. ive checked the car on a diagnostics tool and nothing has come up, ive checked the drive shafts and cant see anything wrong with them. changed the diff and gearbox oil just to be sure it wasn't that. the car is on 18" xxr but even run standard 17" and still does it all matching tyres on both set of wheels and mm. heard people say it could be the abs sensors but surely it would come up on the reader as a fault.

any advice would be great

Don't worry about it. It's what they do. I leave my manual setting on the bottom green one then if I have to reverse on full lock just put it to manual reverse then put back to auto. I have also heard that off you pull the handbrake up one click until the light comes on it does has the same effect and stops the diffs working against each other.

The diff shouldn't be binding when left in auto mode. The car should detect a slow speed manoeuvre and adjust the diff accordingly.

What tool did you you use? They have to be SSM compatible to grab the ABS/DCCD codes although there are methods to pull the codes yourself.

Pulling the handbrake will disable the DCCD yes, so I'd do that (or set the diff to open) in the short term until you find out what's going on. I have an intermittent ABS fault myself and found the diff binding at low speed unless I set it to fully open, but only when the ABS fault is triggered, i.e. light on. Does your ABS light come on and go off with ignition?
