It finally warmed up a little today, so I took the GXP out for a spin.
Turned the ESC off for full power fun.
When launching the car, it spun the tires when the boost came in, got the rearend out a little (as usual), but, not "out of shape".
In the past, I've seen the message something about "reduced traction", flash the ESC triangle warning light, and with the ESC disabled it has never interferred with car.
This time, when the car was spinning the tires, the DIC flashed the message "Service ESC", then the message "Service Traction" came up, & the ABS light came on. So, after coming to a stop, with the coast clear, I thought I'd see if the car would do it again.
This time the DIC gave the message "Service Traction", "Service ESC", "Service AirBag", ABS light came on, the lights went out in the gauges, the needles fell to 0, then message "Reduced Power" came on, and the car fell on it's face...barely running.
It took the car about 5 seconds to finally allow the gauges to recover & turn the lights back on in them.
So, I pulled over, shut the car off and let it sit for ~5 minutes.
Started it back up, and tried it again, Got all the same actions again (except the airbag message).
So, I went home, pulled the fuses, swapped the stock ECM back in and tried it again.
With the stock ECM, I left the ESC & traction ON, & as soon as the tires started spinning, the "Service ESC" came on.
So, I turned traction control off, and put in "Competition Mode".
Still got the "Service ESC" message.
Then, turned the ESC off, and got the same message.
Anybody got any ideas?
Bad wheel sensor maybe?
