Stalled and Won't Start - Car went Crazy - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Yesterday, I was driving home from work and the display said my door was open. Next, my brake light would come on when I touched the gas. Then it went to reduce power mode and stalled at the stop sign..

After it stalled the car wouldn't try to start. I showed an ABS, BRAKE, and Service Stabilitrak light on... I waited several minutes and still wouldn't start....Luckily a man stopped with some tools. I pulled the power wire off the battery and waited a few minutes. Then re-attached the wires and the car started.

After I got the car started and continued home. The car told me to make my driver side window go up and down. I did.. However, the window wouldn't calibrate. The car drove fine.. No problems when it was running. I was at a red light turning left and decided to put my top up and try to calibrating my window. As soon as my top was up my car stalled again in the middle of a 4 lane intersection on M24 in Oxford Mi... Luckily again there was a couple guys that helped push my car to a empty parking spot downtown and guide the traffic around me.

This time I pulled the BCM and ECM fuses because I didn't have tools.. After a couple minutes again my car started and I made it home.

Later, I tried to start it again to put it in the garage and it won't start again.

I'm not showing any ECM faults. I get the ABS, BRAKE, and Service Stibiltrak light.. It also said my trunk was open and it was not... And my window would not go up.. The car doesn't even try and start.

Has anyone had anything like this happen to them? or any ideas? I'm thinking the BCM is having problems.

Any help will be appreciated...

Thanks

Have you had any battery issues lately? I know several people on here have had similar issues and come to find out it was their battery. These vehicles seem to be tempermental when it comes to electrical current supply. Battery may just be week enough to case this. or you may have a charging system issue. Just a thought.

1. Test the battery
2. Check every ground. Unbolt it, shine the metal surfaces and bolt them back together.

Low voltage or a bad ground are the most likely culprits for erratic behaviors.

***UPDATE *** I left the battery disconnected last night and started charging it.. I connected the Battery this morning and Still will not try to start..

Also noticed:
My windows will not move, And it is asking me to calibrate them.
My dash display compass says Calibrate.
ABS and Brake light is on.
Service Park Assist flashed Twice.
Service Stabilitrak comes on intermittently now.

I'm getting the battery tested today...

Well two things to try. One being Justice Petes idea about checking all your grounds and make sure they are tight and clean.
Second would be to pull the battery and take it to an auto parts store and have it checked. Make sure they do a load test as well.

I pulled the battery and checked it at Advanced and it checked good...

I removed the BCM last night and I'm having a buddy check the solder joints today.

did you ever get your car fixed? what did you find? My 2010 is doing this also, took to dealer $535 they said was my alarm system. I removed alarm still no start and error u0100 "lost communication with ecu", service stabil trac, and low fuel.

All these problems are likely caused by low voltage.

If the battery is OK, then what about aftermarket accessories? Got any?
