CEL TCS/DSC problem
So I went out just now to start up my car and it started fine, but the CEL and TCS/DSC light came on and stayed on. Car is idling fairly high, and there's no response what-so-ever from the gas pedal. Anyone? I should mention that it's about -18 C outside right now.
Thanks. |
Well, could be anything. If it's under basic warranty then have it towed to a dealer.
However, Very cold weather and low battery voltage can produce all sorts of transient problems. The electric power steering consumes a ton of amps. First, Let the car idle for few minutes so it doesn't flood when you shut it off. Do a DSC reset. With ignition on, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left, then to the right, and re-center. Turn the engine off. This should reset the DSC light. Take the car for a long (+30 mins) drive to replenish the battery. The Check Engine light will probably turn off after a couple of drive cycles. Good luck. |

Your initial problem sounds like what I am dealing with right now. ( https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-trouble-shooting-95/cel-butterfly-valves-driving-pedal-position-sensor-165147/ )
If it happens again see if you can get the code. So far I haven't been able to fix my problem yet. Hopefully your issue isn't a hard fault. Good luck to you! mkztg |
