So...rise your hand if you had the SZL issue, this means:

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON
STABILITY CONTROL ON
WIPERS WORK LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN POSSES
HANDS COME FROM UNDER THE SEAT AND GRAB YOUR BOTTIE

sorry last one is not SZL problem.

 

me me me...

 

The DSC indicator lamp (Dynamic Stability Control) is active and the automatic turn signal reset is inoperative. Fault code 5DFB is stored in the DSC. In addition, the following fault code memory entries may be stored

Fogging of the SZL optical element is caused by the out-gassing of the plastic steering wheel components. The fogging is a chemical reaction that reacts with the surface of the plastic optical element and cannot be cleaned off.

In case of customer complaint, perform diagnostics using the DIS tester and work through the related test modules. Replace the SZL if necessary

 

Is this the sensor up in the rearview mirror?

 

me - see thread about hill assist

 

*raises hand* Just this morning as I was leaving work I hear the warning sound and look down to see both the brake and DSC light on. I pull over and read that I can continue with caution but to have the car looked at immediately. Dealership is on the drive home from work so I just stop in. On the way there I notice my wipers are possessed and my blinkers don't turn off automatically. Diagnosis: SZL.........part on order, who knows when it will be in. I'm now in an '06 MCS loaner and missing my Scarlett something terrible!

 

Same problem here. I am supposed to have the switch replaced this Fri. Will post up afterwards.

 

haha yup https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=114080
there's the pic of my problem hahaha. didn't know how to fix it. heard that i should tighten these two bolts that conected the sensor to the chasis. might have to take my car to the dealer for other stuff

 

Yes, I've got it!! Interesting that I've gone days...maybe over a week...w/o getting even a warning. Then wham...two times in an hour. Then silent again. Silly component.:impatient

 

Sounds like there is a tech bulliten on this somewhere as many people are having the problem. Anyone have the tech bulliten for the 2nd gen owners?

 

Ah, the joys of being the owner of a first-year production car...
