Hi,

ASC stands for active stability control. This shouldn't have caused the engine to stall.

I need a little more information. When you attempt to start the engine, does the starter engage and turn the engine and it fails to start, or does the starter not engage? Let me know. Also, here are two links you may find helpful. One reviews possible causes of the starter not engaging. The other is if you experience a crank no-start condition.

Also, let me know if you have had the computer scanned for codes.

Take care,

Joe
