I just installed my K&N Typhoon Cold Air Intake. I had to undo the Neg Batt. Terminal as per the directions. Now my DSC light is flashing and my skid indicator is lit up while the car is idling. What goes??

That doesn't sound good. Have you tried disconnecting the battery again?

Hrm... I dunno did you post this up on rx8club.com as well? PM Crazygreek and rx8 ghost they might know..

Maybe try resetting the ECU once more. Sounds like its not mechanical, so thats a good thing.

Have you actually driven the car around the block? Sometimes the car needs to actually see all 4 wheel speed sensors turning to verify correct operation before it will turn the dummy light off.

Thats a good point I forgot about that... That also happens when you dyno the car :P

That sounds about right. I remember it turned on when I did my 6 disc changer swap. Just probably needs to reset itself.

Yep it'll do that for a couple of drives. Don't look to much into it.

There's a procedure in the manual to clear. Basically, you have to turn the car on, turn the wheel all the way to the left, then all the way to the right, Turn car off, start back up, and the lights will be cleared.

And no, I'm not joking.

That's true too. How could I forget that.

Yeah lol

I finally got it fixed a couple days ago. I didnt get a manual when i bought the car so that kinda screwed me. I tried driving it that didnt work either. I unplugged the 2 fuses for the DSC, waited a couple minutes and plugged em back in. No problems after that. Thanks guys

that is good news.

glad to hear it's fixed

Did you try the other method? That's exactly what's stated in the manual, and what I've done 5 or 6 times after I've disconnected power.

If you don't have an owner's manual, you can download one here. Currently, they have 2004-2007.
