DSC Dyanamic Stability Control - complex system that monitors the drivers input and the yaw rate, etc of the vehicle and attempts to overcome driver mistakes.
TSC Traction Control System = less complex system that keeps up with drive wheel slip.

They're closely related. As I understand it:
TCS = Traction Control System. It prevents wheelspin or "laying rubber" when you accelerate by reducing power to the drive wheels when wheelspin is detected.
DSC = "Dynamic Stability Control". It prevents you losing control or spinning out in a turn by reducing power and applying the brakes to specific wheels.
It may be that these are actually the same thing in the RX-8. It's all software anyway.

If I remeber correctly when the light flashes then goes off, it's letting you know that the system is working an making adjustments. If it stays on then there's a problem. Your fine mikeb.

Great concept. But not for me. I like to feel the edge of control.

... until I have to drive in some sh***y weather - then I hope it'll look after me!
