Hi all,
At my last track day at Pitt Race I was running with AdvanceTrac full off when I began feeling it creep back in and at the most inappropriate times, applying brakes on the straights randomly until finally a warning came up in the instrument cluster "Service AdvanceTrac", also traction control and stability control icons illuminated solid. My AdvanceTrac defeat button quit responding meaning it was full on and there was nothing I could do. Luckily it happened in the last session before the skies opened up.
I have had some AdvanceTrac errors before but it usually cleared itself up by the time I reached the pits, and if not I would park, turn the ignition off then on again and it would reset. This time was different.
I brought it into the paddock, I scanned the car with three different scanners and no codes were found. I drove it around the pits, and I even disconnected the battery a while. Still the error in the cluster remained. It wasn't until bringing it home and driving on the streets for several miles during the Woodward Dream cruise that it finally went out.
I need to figure out the root cause of the error because this will ruin entire track days. I will be taking the car apart tonight for inspection. Any advice is welcome,
John
