So I get in my car after work today and upon starting the following weird things happen at once:

1) Tach doesn't work
2) Temp gauge maxes out and stays there
3) Flat tire monitor lights up (tires are fine and reset doesn't work)
4) DSC light comes on and stays on (switch wont turn it off)

Nothing different happened to the car than normal. Last mod made was 20K miles ago and no problems during that time. The car drives normal, no smells and no limp home mode.

Oh, I have a 2004 MCS with Dinan intake, exhaust, and software along with a 15% pulley and a DT bypass.

Any guesses?

Any thoughts?

How old is your battery? Mini's can do strange things when the battery is about to die.

Same one the car came with, so five years and 60k almost exactly.

So I reset the computer and now all I get is the SES light. Guess I need to find a way to get the code...

Go to an autoparts store and have them scan it. Bring the code back here and we'll look it up.
