So don't drive the car to its handling limits thinking TSC will save you from yourself. qTCS OFF Indicator Light qTCS/DSC Indicator Light This indicator light stays on for a few seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position.

If the light remains illuminated and the TCS is not switched off, take your vehicle to an Authorized Mazda Dealer. The dynamic stability control may have a malfunction. NOTE If the TCS/DSC indicator light and the TCS OFF indicator light remain illuminated even after turning the ignition switch to the ON position, attempt the procedure again. If this still does not work, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer. l In addition to the indicator light flashing, a slight lugging sound will come from the engine. This indicates that the TCS is operating properly. On slippery surfaces, such as fresh snow, it will be impossible to achieve high rpm when the TCS is on. 5-23 Form No.8V83-EA-06I
