Slip light keeps on since I re-connect the battary
 
I disconnected and connected the battary again to remove the radio. everything works fine but since I re-connected the battary, slip light keeps on. DSC off light was flashing too but it disappeared after driving a minute. but the slip light keeps on. What is wrong with it? anyone has this experience?

Slip light? There is a common TCS/DCS light.

"This indicator light stays on for a few
seconds when the ignition switch is turned
to the ON position. If the TCS or DSC is
operating, the indicator light flashes.
If the light stays on, the TCS or DSC may
have a malfunction and they may not
operate correctly. Take your vehicle to an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
NOTE
l In addition to the indicator light
flashing, a slight lugging sound will
come from the engine. This indicates
that the TCS is operating properly.
l On slippery surfaces, such as fresh
snow, it will be impossible to
achieve high rpm when the TCS is on."

"If the battery is disconnected, the DSC
will be inoperable. In this case, the DSC
OFF indicator light flashes and the
TCS/DSC indicator light illuminates.
To make the DSC operable, do the
following procedure.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON
position.
2. Turn the steering clockwise fully,
then turn it counterclockwise fully.
3. Make sure the DSC OFF indicator
goes off.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF
position, then turn it to the ON
position again.
5. Make sure the TCS/DSC indicator
light goes off.
If the TCS/DSC indicator light and the
DSC OFF indicator light remain
illuminated even after turning the
ignition switch to the ON position,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer."

(an Owner's Manual is a wonderful thing)
