i just DIY my K&N intake ...one of the instruction was to remove battery negative ...i think i must have reset the ECU or something everything is in place ...but now , my DSC light keeps blinking and the "icon with the car skid" is on ....im worried and i dont dare to drive now ...what should i do ?

help help i tried search but there is no direct instruction on what i should do

 

Whenever you disconnect the battery the DSC Light and "icon with car in skid" will be lit and blinking since the ECU must re-learn. Dont worry about anything the car is fine. A few miles the lights will go away.

 

Go out and enjoy your new K&N Intake

 

izit ? ...ok ..i'll hope for da best

 

With the ignition on, turn the steering all the way left, then all the way right again.

Presto, all gone lights!

NOW you can go out and drive!

Trust me everything is fine dont worry about it

 

yeah, but he should definitely do what stealthtl said.

 

Maybe he should read his manual?
The manual is your friend!
Do what Stealth said!

 

 

Read your manual it's in there. No excuse you don't have one either as they are free on Mazdausa.com when you register your car in the owners section.

Also use the search.

 

teh baby jeezus cries every time you don't do teh search

 

kool....the left and right turn did it ...THX ...

btw , its not written in the instruction/manual ...i spend the whole night reading it last night to make sure i din mess up when i do it today ...im pretty cautious about my car...but thanks for the reminder to read the manual ~

 

owners manual solves 90% of the stupid ?s here..

it will set you free.

IT IS IN THE MANUAL.

If u cant see it, check with ur doctor, you need glasses.

After reading ur thread, I think I AM CRYING !

 

sorry ...i bought my car used from the dealer .....i dont have the manual book ...i was referring to the manual instruction that comes with the stuff !! NO ONE mention "OWNERS "MANUAL besides swoope ..and that was AFTER i fixed it ... I was referring to the manual/instruction in the box with the stuff !
plus , i came to this forum to find help....not to get fired and flamed by you guys ...whats the forum for if it couldnt help us/me/other ppl with difficulties or doesnt understand our car... you ppl nvr understand my situation before u start putting your "nice quotes" on me ... before even asking me if i had a manual book or not ...plus my desperate situation of needing to use the car in 1 hour to get to work ...

thanks to the kind people such as invasion08 / StealthTL / kersh4w .....

 

oh btw , the intake sounds SO AWESOME !!! no wander ppl love it ~ everytime i step on the gas , i feel like falling in love with it over & over & over .....& over again ! cant wait till i get my greedy sp2 exhaust ~

 

download the manual, then read it.. 90% of you problems would be solved..

you have a car, it is a bit complex.. you did not buy sunscreen.. the directions are there..

beers

 

did not buy sunscreen ? dont get u ..sorry ...
plus , where do i download the manual ?

 

haha, i thought something bad happened... but i'm glad you worked everything out. enjoy your new intake!

 

your car will die soon,

there are you happy?

on a more serious note, nothing will happen, just drive it

 

i put my intake in myself too and i didnt disconnect the battery.

 

Savedsol already told you where to get a manual.

Here is his answer that was right below mine:

the only way to solve this problem is to buy me some cheery chocolate chip ice cream.

hows it sound ... im debating between the aem / mazdaspeed cai and the k&N

 

its awesome ...especially when u floor your throttle , the intake starts to growl ~ ^.^

from what i researched , CAI is better for your car because its cold air and lets your car breath better ...but if u love deep growling sounds , probably should go for k&N..

 

So you're smart enough to go tearing into your car to install mods an hour before you have to go to work. Might want to think about that a minute.
