VDC light staying on

gSwift · 10-21-2013, 09:07 PM

Whats up fella's? So I finally finished returning the Z back to stock form and upon completion I decided to take it for a spin. Well, everything is fine except one thing, the VDC light is staying on. It's on continuous as soon as I start the car and there doesn't seem to be any loss of power. I tried resetting the ECU but that didn't seem to work.

As far as the work I performed, I put the stock intakes, headers, cats/exhaust, and full stock suspension back on. I'm wondering if the alignment and toe is just so out of whack that may be whats causing it.

If anyone has any insight, please share.

First thing I'd do is use an OBD scanner to see if there are any DTCs present.

If nobody comes up with an answer soon, the troubleshooting guides in the FSM should tell you what you need to know.

Edit: It might be a wheel speed sensor(s) but that's just a wild guess.

Just seems odd since it was fine before I started putting the stock parts back on, and now this.

Headers! Ok, you took them off. Did you have to remove anything on the steering? Like disconnect the steering shaft? If you did. You have to get the rack + pinion position sensor reset.
