Loss of Braking in Spin?
About a year ago I had a particularly nasty spin and as I was traveling backwards the brake pedal went to the floor leaving me without brakes until I stopped. When I released the pedal and reapplied everything was back to normal. I had forgotten about it until this past weekend when Jim Reyenga had the same thing happen in a borrowed RX-8 (not mine). So apparently I wasn't imagining it and/or my car isn't defective. Any ideas/explanations on what's going on here?

Was DSC turned on? Could it be the DSC was fighting for control and not letting you have any?

DSC was completely off in both cases (i.e 11 second hold). We never autox with it on intentionally.

I would guess the ecu/pcm did it as some sort of ice mode program.

that's typical for most ABS systems when the wheel direction reverses while going backwards

i've spun several times while autocrossing and the brakes on my 8 do stop working
briefly while moving backwards. normally this is not a problem except for the one time i got the car stopped about 20 feet from a light pole... fyi, an ice driving tip. if you are headed toward a tree and your tires can't get any grip on the ice to turn and the ABS won't let you lock up the brakes, turn your engine off and pray you stop before you hit the tree! |

You put your right foot out; You put your right foot in, And you shake it all about. You do the Hokey-Pokey, And you turn yourself around. That's what it's all about! I was making another "Hokey Pokey" reference. :mdrmed: |
