2017 Mazda 6 2.2 Diesel manual - DSC and SCBS intermittent malfunction - MalcG

Hello all,

Just wondered if anyone else has had this? Recently (2 weeks ago)bought the above car. On 2 occasions after it was sitting for a few days, on the drive home (after 30 mins or so) I get amber warning lights and messages in the fault application of DSC malfunction and SCBS malfunction. Also noticed the indicator on the dash board which displays which gear your in disappears too. After switching the engine off and restarting, they all disappear and it's all back to normal.
Dealer reckons it's to do with a sensor steaming up and is fairly common. I'm inclined to agree, but still a bit annoying and wondered if anyone else has experienced the same and if there is a fix?

Thanks for any information/advice.

Have you checked the tyre pressures?

Yes I have.
Actually the tyre pressure warning system did trigger on my way home from the dealer. The new tyre they had fitted was a lot more pressure than the other three. So equalised them all at 33 or so and has been fine since.
Thanks
