O.K. here is my issue. Last week I start my car up late at night since I was the DD. My wife looks over and spots that my Warning light for the TCS,DSC was on. Although concerned, it felt normal so I kept driving. Got home and let her sit till next afternoon. Got back in and the warning light was gone. Today, I am driving down the road and my power steering light came on. Sure enough, I had zero power steering. I go to a light and was thinking how fun it was going to crank my car to the left, to get on the next street. I was sitting at the light and decided to shut the car off. I turned it back on and everything was fine again.
The only things recently done were. 1. I got my front rotors and brakes replaced with slotted vented rotors and new brakes. I read on the report that they used shims or something and 2. I installed the accessport and MM base map.
I am highly doubting the accessport had anything to do with it considering it has been on for over a month. I was curious if TCS,DSC and power steering could have accidentally been tampered with by putting the rotors on. I guess I just dont know exactly where these two things are located.

 

was your engine overheated once before?
could be coolant got on the PS connectors under the overflow tube. check them out.

This is the Series 2 forum, from 2009 on-wards..

So how about filling out some details about yourself and your car, and then the answers may be more precise..

Is your RX-8 a 2004,5,6,7,8, etc

 

thats the second time I accidentally typed in the wrong forum. It is a 2004GT manual.
