SI and Check Engine Light blinking

MiataMike87 · 04-11-2008, 05:51 PM

I was driving home from my friend's house and I noticed that the SI, check engine, and cruise control lights were flashing. This happened after I took a corner hard and the traction control/VDC light came on for a second. Has anyone else ran into this problem yet? I think it's just the result of me driving like an ***. I read the manual and it says to consult the dealer. I'm a bit worried and will have the STi at the dealer on Monday, but I'm not sure if it is alright to drive the car still.

Pull the codes with a code reader of some sort.
Post here and I may be able to help.

Do what ploney said and then disconnect the battery to reset the ecu. Make sure you get the code first!

Do you have any modifications? Were you low on fuel at the time?

I was not low on fuel, I had 1/3 left, no mods whatsoever.

Interesting. Definitely have the codes pulled. I'm interested in why the SI lights would be blinking...that usually indicates a malfunction in the system, but I've only seen that for ABS, the DCCD, and VDC. I didn't know that the SI drive could indicate a failure too.

The CEL and the SI drive lights flash when a code is stored. DCCD gets stuck in auto and SI drive goes to S too.

Thanks a lot. The SI-Drive was stuck in S and DCCD was also in automatic mode. I brought it back to the dealer and it turned out to be a blown fuse.
