DCS blinking, and car swerving light
My moms car is at it again. She said the dcs light was blinking, and the car serve icon was lit up. I went the check it out, tried to start the car and it barley started. I went to autozone to buy a new battery and she cranks up fine. Hopefully it lasts like that. But when i turn the car on, the lights are still on and blinking. What does this mean. I have a feeling the battery is going to die again. Please help me out.

Disconnecting the battery caused this condition in the first place. when the computers loose power they need to be re calibrated. I don't know of any computers that work without power, and I don't know of many power sources in a car.... Take a guess.

^Thank you Swoope and those that have responded. My apologies Swoope for seeing you Sat at Palooza and not thanking you personally.
I did check the battery... It seems they are super tight, but I did notice some corrosion. I also had two episodes of my car not turning on... I recall the dealer telling me I had a dead cell.... So it may just bee a combo of that and the corrosion lacking it's contact and making it act funny to the point of not starting.
I'm assuming it's time for a new battery!! I'm hoping that's all it needs.
*crossing fingers*
