Hi All

As it says - Last few days as soon as I start the car I get the ABS warning coming on, shortly followed by DSC problem - both in the alpha numeric display, along with a couple of yellow warning lights............then, sometimes when I start it - nothing for the entire journey. Even when the warnings are on I think the actual systems are working fine

Car is 2004 S Type R

Anyone got any ideas/had this before?

Thanks

Guy

May be voltage drop from a weak battery triggering the error messages. It may be worth trying a 24 hour charge or substuting another known good battery to see if the problem persists. If you charge for 24 hours and the battery is still drawing current after this time chances are it has a weak cell and is slowly failing
