    Default Skiddy Car Light Stuck on.. No i didn't do the TCS Thing

    So.. Noticed a few times in the last few weeks.. every now and again.. I will Start my Car and the CAr Skidding Light (the one that normally blinks... or gets jammed on when you do the TCS button trick when you turn the car on)

    It stayed on all by itself.. and the TCS light was off.. Normally both would be on..

    Does anyone know what this means???

    It goes away if you kill ignition and then reboot it...

    Also does anyone else know about the Cluster Test Easter Egg or did i just figure that out bymyself? (Cluster test makes all the needles sweep tests all the lights sounds are working etc etc..)

    Just take it to Mazda, might be a triped or error with a sensor.

    My GTiR's ABS sensor has comes on a few times which following the manual means there is an error within the unit/hub. After turning the car on/off and taking the car for a good drive/thrash light turns off.

    My mechanic tells me that it is just water or dirt that gets up and disrupts the sensor.

    Hope this helps

    Of course, that light will come on if you dont have any traction

    Maybe you're drifting too hard out of the garage?

    Got access to a Scangauge or Dashhawk, could run an error code check.

    Off the top of my head I'd bet it's a dodgy/dirty ABS sensor.

    is it the TSC light ? If so this one happened to me one ofe the steering angle sensors had packed it in
