Hi guys, looking for a little help.
About a year ago i got a retune done on my car, engine and transmission. Very happy with the results so added a over the radiator cold air intake and a touch up retune. Again very happy. I caught the power bug and decided to get a cam and retune done by the same guy that done my previous work (he's a good guy and knows his stuff, uses HPT).
Got my tuner guy to install a 228/232 cam along with the retune needed and ended up with 266rwkw so was happy with the result and drive-ability. However 10 minutes after picking up the car for the 2 hour journey home i was at a set of lights and noticed that the traction control had turned off. The only way i could get it back on was to pull over and turn the car off and restart it and traction control would be on.
I contacted him when i got home about the issue but he assured me that nothing he would have done would effect the traction control. So over the last few months i have had the car scanned by a Tech2 scanner 3 times, swapped out the T/C button with a new one. And taken it to a auto electrician but haven't been able to figure out why T/C is turning off at random.
So i did some Google searching and found that there have been other people with the same issue as me with T/C turning off at random after a cam install and retune.
The easiest way to get the car to randomly turn the T/C off is when i first start the car and select drive without my foot being on the brake hard or when i am crawling along at slow speeds and you get that shunt from the cam.
Not sure if it is related but i have noticed that the gear changes are harsh.
Research also tells me,thanks in no small part to a gentlemen on another forum, that HPT released a patch for the LS2 for what seems to be this same issue. Is there a sollution for this problem that i can talk to my tuner about?
Engine mods include: extractors, performance exhaust, cold air intake over the radiator, 228/232 cam, transmission cooler, performance retune.
