The DSTC system by Volvo means Dynamic Stability & Traction Control, and is the equivalent of the ESP system (means the Electronic Stability Program). If the DSTC lights on the dashboard permanently the DSTC system is faulty. You must access the DSTC Electronic Control Unit (ECU) memory to pull out all DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes), using diagnostic equipment connected to the data link connector of the car. Then you will be full informed about bad pieces (e.g.: front right wheel abs sensor interrupted, ...). After bad pieces replacement you will be able to erase all faults memored by DSTC ECU, in other words reset the DSTC system and turn off the warning lamp on dashboard.

Want to know what a light means,and can i fix it myself

Risk for slippery conditions
If the warning light comes on and stays on, this indicates that traction with the road surface is reduced. Drive with caution. If this light flashes, it indicates that the DSTC system is working to restore traction to one or more of the wheels. Reduced Stability Control
If the green indicator light in the DSTC button goes out, DSTC has reduced effect because the system had been switched off with the button in the center console. The text DSTC SPIN CONTROL OFF will be displayed in the text window.
