DSC comes on

Just got an oil change and had my brake system serviced at mazda yesterday. I go out today and redlined my 8 and my DSC comes on (little logo of the car and squigle lines). And it stayed on. Until i shut the car offf then restart. It never used to do that before :S. It is wet and pretty slippery right now however. Any thoughts how to stop that from happening ?? Thanks

Did mazda unplug the battery at all?
Turn key to ON (without starting), turn wheel all the way left, then right, then center, then start.
If it comes on again, then it could be an issue...

make sure they didn't jack up, or unplug one of your wheel speed sensors.

look for breaks in the wire, especially at the plug ends. You can always unplug and plug them back in to make sure they're all connected properly. I'm sure they could be tested with a multimeter, but i wouldn't know where to begin as far as values to look for.

another thing to check is the headlight auto leveling sensors. there's one in the front and one in the rear on opposite corners.
