Hi all,
Hoping someone knows what this issue is / was.
The missus rang me this arvo telling me the car (VY Series II S pack, V6 auto sedan, 160K on clock, serviced every 6mths) was having a 'problem',...... well that's not exactly the way she put it!!
Missus said she was reversing out of a carpark at the local shops and when she put it into 'Drive' it just stalled. It's not out of fuel (but had just hit the first low fuel warning), and there are no issues with the guage. After it stalled the dash had the check engine icon flashing and the message "Trac Control Off".
The missus drove the car home (about 3km) with the alerts still going, and didn't notice any unusual sounds, handling etc. When she pulled in the driveway she left it running and I tried the Traction control button - nothing, it just stayed off.
I turned the car off and back on a couple of times and each time it passed the system check, warned of low fuel, but didn't throw up any traction control, or check engine warnings.
I've had a bit of a search around but can only find a few references to fauly ABS modules, or batteries that died soon after.
Would be interested to know if anyone has has this happen to them and what the problem was.
Cheers,
Andy C
