VE SS 2009
Hey guys,

Got in the car this morning, turned on everything normal, did notice the petrol was low... No biggy, ill get petrol at lunch???

As I arrived at work, the needle dropped and engine turned off leaving me to roll into a carpark..

The dash is now displaying error: "Contact Dealer - Stability Ctrl Off"
I took a quick vid of it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jsxdhchw270ugag/2013-10-21 08.20.14.mp4
When I go to start the car, the head-unit loses power also, car wont start

Any suggestions?

edit: I did have it in reverse to push the car into the center of the park, that when I recorded it.

UPDATE: Put 20L fuel in, still nothing - error still showing
Unplugged battery for 10 minutes - error gone, ESP still showing as off
Car still not starting, when I go to turn it over, the lights and radio etc all turn off until I stop trying to turn it over... Hopefully its just a battery.
Had it toed to the dealership, just waiting on them to call me and tell me what the issue is.

Yes, sounds like a dead battery. Jump start the car and once it's running, check if the alternator is trying to charge the battery OK. If the alternator is charging, time for a new battery. In my experience, a weak battery can cause fault codes to be set, including the stability control, ESP and ABS.

Other common fault that can cause these symptoms is the rear abs loom - attaches to the sensors of both rear wheels and is connected near the fuel lines on the drivers side - about a $50 genuine replacement part

It makes little difference to the systems on modern cars if the alternator is putting out sufficient charge. The only way to accurately test the condition of your battery is to have it LOAD TESTED. Such test will indicate if one or several of the cells are on 'the way out'. Any half decent Auto Electrician or if a member of an Auto Club, their Patrols have appropriate equipment to perform such test on the roadside.
