DSC light flashing and TC light on constantly - wont' reset
So recently while driving, my dsc light started flashing and the TC light stays on constantly. (was off when I started the drive)
It happened when I was signalling to make a left.
Battery reset -> dsc initialization procedure (steering wheel right to left) doesn't reset it.
Things checked so far:
Wheel sensors all read the proper resistance ( all 4 )
Wheel hubs are good and tight.
Check the power connections at the DSC wiring harness and there is power to the abs and dsc pins.
3rd brake light and brake switch are good.
Things left to check:
SAS (Steering angle sensor)
YAW rate sensor
DSC unit itself.
If you know a way to check these out using a multimeter then let me know.
I did notice that when I unplug a wheel speed sensor that the DSC and TC light go out and the ABS light gets illuminated. Then after plugging the wheel sensor back in, the ABS light goes out and the DSC flashes and TC back on and won't reset.
Note: ABS is still working good on the car with the DSC flashing and TC light on.
Any ideas beside a used DSC unit and re-programming at Mazda?

Just in case you don't know after doing the full left full right you know you have to drive it around for about 10 min for the lights to reset. Wish I could help you out better man sounds like a censer broke or something

Does a good Windows OBD2 software or freeware exist? I have a BMW scantool cable DCAN that I use for DX on the E9x and I wonder if I can get the full Mazda set with better Windows freeware?

Did you manage to get yours diagnosed?

Yes, Versatune makes a product that I am still getting used too, its pricey but it gives you tuning capabilities if you need them (full version) and can read codes and can watch live data.
