XK8 DSC Display Warning

[Gramrugby]

Occasionally on start up the DSC warning light stays on. If I drive for a few miles to allow the engine to reach normal temp and then re start it disappears.

Any thoughts ?

low battery level. Keep topped up if you dont use regularly

Many thanks. Unfortunately It does only get used a few times each month. I'll stick a trickle charger on it.

I'm the same, use it as a weekend car only, didnt use it in Jan or Feb at all, but i keep it on the trickle charger every now and then.

What codes has it brought up? That will point you in the right direction.

I haven't had it checked. I'll be giving it a good run on Sunday from Edinburgh to Aberdeen
Hopefully that should give it a good charge. Assuming that the battery's not on it's last legs.

Thanks to all for replying

It would appear that it was the battery. Problems gone.

Thanks for the replies.
