- 2009 VE SS SILVER SEDAN
Anyone have an SS that had safety mode kick in constantly? If you actually found the issue what was it?
I have a mafless tune etc, and I have had safety mode for like 20,000kms on and off, lately....... been getting worse. Comes and goes, can go weeks without an issue and then suddenly be virtually undrivable randomly.
Throttle body is clean....... no corrosion on plug..... Even monitored all the voltages...... generally look OK for the pedal and tps going back and forth, ignition voltage ok, alternator charging ok....
I figure I will do the following:
1. Wire tug test to see if any to the tac module are broken.
2. Ground checks on the back of the motor as suggested.
3. Inspect wiring under steering wheel and surrounding grounds.
4. Check transmission harness plug which apparently can come loose?
Maybe its just the throttle body itself, but if so....... I raise a concern on OTR intakes then........ if people have had safety mode how many have OTR's = more chance of water in the throttle body perhaps. I only have 130k on the car with reg servicing, new battery...... just replaced a failed injector recently (2nd since i got the car).
My issue is it seems to have a runaway idle..... eg. going up a hill or part load the throttle wont fall back to the idle spot off throttle, it just goes into safety mode....... can do it anywhere, randomly. I can tell when its coming the car starts playing up......
Im currently running the stock tune to see if any diff, no go still does it........ I have been chasing this issue now for over a year almost. So if anyones had it what did you do to fix it? Replacing a throttle body seems obserd at my km range.
