Question with Stability Track and Traction Control - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

streetyme · 12-09-2015, 10:56 AM

Hello I have this problem that when my car goes through a car wash and the bottom of the car gets wet, throws codes.. It throws service stability track, service traction control and my engine light comes on .. I unhook the battery terminal wait couple of mins hook it back up and all is fine again. I would take it to the dealership , but kinda nervous since I have a tune on it and don't really want my tune erased if they have to hook my car up to the computer to diagnosis the problem.. Any idea would be very appreciative..

Its not the water its the tracks moving the wheels making your car think its slipping. It goes away after a start or two, no need to pull the battery every time.

Interesting.. Never had that happen but it makes sense...

Don't use automatic car washes

Or stop your engine in neutral.

Thanks for the replies.. It's done it on both tracked style car washes with my car in neutral and the touchless that goes around the car.. You're right though lights come on , but No stored trouble codes

OUCH a automatic car wash....... I don't use them and wont..... I love to wash my own. Let alone the worry if they had dirt scratch your car from some scummy 4X4 or something before you.

WAG
you've got a nicked wire somewhere (will be tough to find) or a loose/damaged connector.
i would start with the 4 wheel speed sensors, check the connectors and wires for pinch points. you could get lucky and find it quickly..............also look at the sensor housings for cracks, most likely from over tightening. post what you find

Thanks for the advice ho18871 , I'll definitely look at the wires and connectors and hopefully it will be something to quickly pinpoint
