hey guys , new to the forum .
i have 2006 SV6 , which im pretty happy with although having ownership for 2 months i have come to some pretty annoying faults , can anyone shed light on this. i have googled a lot and searched but cant seam to find enough info
1/ driving esp comes on and off prefusely , engine warning light on. many times in the last month , usually dissapears on a good day . two days ago im driving , esp came on , then 'safety mode' . chucked the car into limp mode , stopped and turned the car off hoping it'd go away , nothing worked . then she wouldnt start . battery died , so i called nrma and got a new one since the last owner hadnt changed it , i knew it was on it way out because it wouldnt turn over too well. so the battery changed , engine light dissapeared and she went great . thinking im in the clear.
2/ yesterday same spot of road , she went into safety mode. i removed the battery terminal and she reset the car , making it drivable again .
went to holden today , they said there isnt anything wrong . $88 for a diagnostic , and they had cleared the ecu , they said it if it happens again come back. here are the codes , they didnt really explain much , kinda useless in informing me.

.Went to Toyota and spent 45 mins getting codes clears/back/cleared etc and they never charged. I`d probally look for a diffrent dealer if they only did a diagnostic ..2ndly Ring the service dept of a dealer and quote those codes and they should be able to tell you what they are that maybe more helpful for people to answer. From my above dealings with the Aurion the ESP coming on is probally from some othere fault activeing it
