Theres a wheel alignment process that you turn the steering full lock etc but I cant remember the details.

Resets the DSC.

Is on that tech highlights cd, may be in the manual.

I'm sure someone else has all the details.

From the pdf version of the Owners Manual:
===============================
NOTE

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.
===============================

It's also covered in the little "Quick Tips" booklet that came with the car.

Which begs the question: Don't people read this stuff? Personally, I sat down and read through the manual from cover to cover. If there's anything I should know about the car, I want to know it!
