I’ve been getting Service StabilTrac errors on my dash along with Steering Wheel Angle errors in the ABS PCM in my 012 Boss. Car has 8000 miles with about 15 track days on it.
With the scope function of my FORscan PC tool, I can see the Steering Wheel Angle feedback signal spike during high RPM conditions that correlates to the error message. I had the FORscan scope tool active and wiggled and prodded all the wiring harnesses and connectors and could not reproduce the signal spike.
I also visually checked all of the wiring harnesses especially ABS wires by the exhaust and couldn’t see anything out of the ordinary.
i also get less frequent random messages like Fuel Low and a few other dash lights randomly going on and off like the dash brake light.
Twice, this summer (not sure if this is related) I had to the jump the battery when I got home after driving it. I had the drivers door open for about 5 or 10 minutes scanning the PCM. After the first jump, I bought a brand new battery to replace the 3 year old battery.
Even with the brand new battery, I had to charge the new battery again since the car wouldn’t start after a 1/2 hr test drive and then the drivers door being open for 5 - 10 minutes scanning the PCM.
Will the car idling, battery voltage is 14.2 volts.
Has anyone had any similar issues with the Service StabilTrac? The steering wheel angle sensor for the 2012’s is in the electric steering rack, not on the steering column. With only 8000 miles on it, is it likely the Steering Wheel Sensor in the rack is bad? Is the sensor replaceable or do you have to replace the whole electric steering rack (big bucks I’m sure). After some googling and review the service manual, the sensor does t apprar
Are the dead battery events just due to the small ish FoMoCo battery not being able to handle a door being open for 10 minutes or could this be indicative of a bad alternator? Again, the battery voltage at idle measured at the battery terminals is approx 14.2v
Could a bad alternator give me the Service Stabiltrac error message? I haven’t measured the battery voltage at high RPM’s yet.
I haven’t had the car go into limp mode yet, but with the track about 1 hr from my house and no trailer, I’ve been hesitant to track it this summer since the dash lights up like the Vegas strip at night.
Any help or advice would be appreciated!
