No idea. 
I worry about not having your car starting rather than having the DSC light.
Does the car crank?
Have you tried to push the car backward and turn the wheel a little and restart the car? Dunno what it will do but it is my gut feeling.

Is it an auto and in park!!
No only say this cause a friend of mine called me saying that her car had broken down...it was 3 weeks old. She was trying to start it in Drive. I arrived told her to wait on the kerb shouted at the car and then it started! She thought I was amazing and couldn't believe that shouting could start a car.....yes she is blonde...but from a bottle...I explained what I had actually done...she has never done it again!
I would call Mazda....sounds like your computer is saying no to me...

I tried looking for it in the manual. I eventually got it started... after $183 to RACV.
I also tried ringing MissyK but she didnt want to talk. Maybe i havent paid my membership dues. :p Ill get around to doing that some time.
I think it was a flat, but Im taking it in for service some time soon any how.

幹他媽!
sounds like a dead battery maybe? dsc flashes after the battery is re-charged, then if u read the manual it says to turn the wheel all the way to the left and then all the way to the right to clear the dsc warning. happened to me once when i forgot to close the stupid trunk and didn't drive my car for a few weeks.

have had to do this a couple times, nothing major.
read the manual, it tells you exactly what to do.

Sick of reading in almost every post you make - something to do with the membership fees. So it's taken you about 3 months when we have a 2 week policy, and you still haven't paid. No problems. Your membership wasn't processed. Stop whinging.
Touchy subject!

Hi folks
My first post in ages ...
After leaving my 8 at the airport valet car park for 3 days I returned to a very sluggish sounding car .. that would crank slowly but not start.
The Valet guys had a jumper battery, car kicked to life perfectly - drove the 30 Ks home ... next morning, wouldnt start again ... rolled down driveway, clutch start .. the DSC and CHECK ENGINE lights are shining.
Staight to Mazda dealer - check everything out .. cant find faults .. but at least the lights arent on. (note .. spent about 1/2 hour with the car for FREE ) Yay McGrath Mazda at Liverpool NSW!.
That night .. wont start again. Call Mazda roadsde assist. 20 mins later we have a diagnosis of 'weak batt'. Luckily he has a new battery on board and replaces it for $130!
One thing .. he's gone when I realise the DSC lights flashing. Check the manual, and 2 mins later ... all good!
Moral - dont let the airport valet guys listen to my radio for 3 days (it was parked next to their office)
Cheers folks
