Hi All,
I have both DCS and ABS lights on now continuously. both will appear on after a short drive or may be on from the start. These have been coming on now for some time. I knew my front break pads needed changing so did them last week. I still have the same problem. I have seen many posts on the net about this same problem and have followed all the advice to no avail.
My question is regarding a diagnostic approach, Is there a procedure that I can follow to check if it's one of the transducers on any of the wheels.
I have connected an ELM 327 to the car expecting to see if it might help give some codes,but there did not seem to be a code for this condition.
If anyone has any advice on how to approach this problem please let me know.
Appreciate all help offered. “And please dont suggest bringing it to the shop” None local that I trust.

Jim

 

Have you tried resetting the DSC light using the following:

Rx-8 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.
