I had my first warning light at the track day Sandown Tuesday.

It only happens during cornering... I have no idea what was going on... and I freaked out


Then I parked the car and searching for the position of the flashing light.

It was on the top right corner, above the fuel gauge.

I cannot draw the thing but it is yellow and looks a fountain from a rectangle.


Then I search the owner's menu and it says low on windscreen washer level

Apparently, the G force putting the washer fluid to one side and trigger the warning signal.

I was so scared so I was told to filled up 200ml of water into the washer tank FiXeD I was going to call Mazda assist

lucky it was yellow..... you'd be worried if it was a red signal.....
bring a tissue box with you next time mate...

EZZY mate... Does it occur to you in the starting thread that the whole thing is a joke and written for a laugh ?

ILIV48

I actually recall reading something very similiar on the international forum except this member over a couple of track days & was freaking out until another member informed him of his issue in a later post

Ive had the oil light come on (low oil).

And also the coolant light which was 2 weeks ago (cracked radiator hose and needed also new thermostat gasket).

All Warranty of course

Thanks Revolver for your positive comment.

It is such a rare occurance that I should frame that post

I don't know about you....but any light that flashes at 9K on the track gives you the chills .

I threw a cel in a spin at the track.....I was kinda freaked till I went back to the paddock and hooked it up to the Scanalyzer.....It was an eccentric shaft sensor error...I guess it didn't like going backwards and stalling

Revolver

Jealousy's a curse Tim!

Dan stayed on the track thank God with nobody close behind him. A Mustang GT went off track on the same corner that day.

Taka,

LOL: It would have been funny if you called Mazda Assist out to the track, and they brought Warren along with them. Warren T. Hehehehe.

Cheers,
Hymee.

Hey Taka I bet you thought it was oil surge!!

My first thought was the eccentric drive shaft thingy to be honest - I have already turn the DSC off so I was not sure what was happening... when I had a good look (not easy to do on the track) it was apparent that it was a small problem
