RSC is roll stability control, so it is either an ABS problem as it is automatically knocked out. if an ABS problem the only way to know what has happened is to go over this video and guide the codes.

RSC stands for "roll stability control". A problem has been detected with the ABS/RSC. The only way to know what has happened is to go over this video and guide the codes.

A few weeks ago my rsc service light, ABS, and traction came on and when trying to drive vehicle it was like wheels would lock up. Put on abs computer tester and driver side wheel sensor was bad. Changed bearing hub and sensor and car ride fine for a few weeks. Yesterday the lights came in again but wheels didn't lock but sometimes it feels as though I am pushing the brakes when I start off like something is catching. Computer showed bad speed sensors on both dudes. Changed drivers side again and cleaned passenger because it showed. It wasn't very dirty. Light still on and still acts like I am braking when u start off. Could it be my abs pump or could it be the passenger side sensor bad but not dirty?

Why does it feel like I am hitting brake instead of gas when I start off?

If I remove the Abs fuse it runs fine.

This is common when the bearing hub goes out in the front here is a video of the job being done on a similar car with instructions in the diagram below to show you show on your car.
