Traction control and Stabilitrak automatically re-enabled?
I was driving today with tc and stabilitrak off and a message came up on the dic as well as a low traction light? Didn't get to read the message, but as it went away traction control and stabilitrak re-enabled themselves.
Anyone know what this was al about? I was compression braking in 4th, downshifted to 3rd and continued compression braking and the message popped up. Rpms were around 4k after downshift. I'm guessing there was a slight mismatch in wheel speed at that point. Didn't know it would re-enable tc automatically though? Last edited by TannerJPowell; 11-22-2013 at 09:08 PM. |

I did two taps, and the competitive mode message of course came up. So why did it exit competitive mode? |

In comp mode, you don't exit out of t/c or stabilitrak completely....Just the parameters are changed so they don't activate as frequently....If you got a message of any kind, it was probably that stabiltrak or t/c were being used....Only way to exit out of comp mode is to re-start the car, or hit the button once....

I had both hands on the wheels and was compression braking down an exit ramp in 3rd when the dic lit up with a message and the low traction. By the time I looked the message was gone and the low traction light, traction control disabled light and stabilitrak disabled lights were all off. I think if someone digs they will find that a low traction condition under deceleration will probably revert the car back to full traction and stabilitrak control. I will try to repeat it so I can read the message. |

I have seen random stabilitrak off messages when the brake fluid is low.

I'm going to do a more detailed look in the owners manual, but I didn't find an answer for this first pass.
It doesn't say it, but EDC (engine drag control) may take you out of competitive mode if it engages... I haven't replicated this yet. Last edited by TannerJPowell; 11-22-2013 at 11:55 PM. |

Same here cause it does not like the line lock being used.

By the way I've always heard to do away with it completely is pull #40 and 43 fuse.
