Video of problem below.

The car is an '18 1SS w/ A8. 2 weeks ago I installed a new set of long tubes but, I'm not sure if it's related. The car drove fine after that. Using HP Tuners, I uploaded a couple iterations of MAF and VVE adjustments for the new headers. I think it's just a coincidence but, I just loaded a tune with the last little tweaks to the MAF and VVE tables. Then I went for a drive and I started getting the messages.

I get both "Stabilitrak" and "Power Steering Drive With Care" messages but, "Stabilitrak" more often than the latter. It happens when I accelerate with anything more than light throttle. It doesn't happen cruising at speed. It also happens when hitting a bump or a quick movement of the steering wheel (not while stopped though)

I searched and found tons of info where people have the messages as soon as they start the car and they hit dismiss and doesn't come back until next time they start the car. My situation is different.

If anyone know what connections could be loose causing this that I can check.

Here's a video of what I'm seeing. Sorry for the shakiness.

You ever figure it out?

I did actually. Main wiring harness on the passenger side got a little too close to the header. The insulation was melted off a wire. Whenever I'd get on the gas a little where the motor would twist over (stock motor mounts) just enough to ground out the wire and cause the dash to display the message.

I should of spent more time getting that wire out of the way when I first installed the headers. It's now wrapped with some heat shielding and zip-tied with those Christmas tree zip ties which I just used the existing holes right there to push them into.

Okay I’ll take a look. Just got this car pretty sure still has stock headers
