Thanks, I found what may be bad wires. The rubber around them is very degraded where it loops up right next to the hub! I need to see if there is any others on the engine side of the wheel well
thanks again

Well here is an update
I found the wire that comes off the hub looked pretty degraded so I replaced it but I still get the DIC saying Service Traction Control, Service ESC, and ESC OFF! I don’t know what else to do?!?! I disconnected the battery for an hour but I still get those same DIC warning ls

Well mines been doing the same thing but i thought it had something to do with a tune that i had flashed on my car cause it happened after that. I think the reason it goes into limp mode is cause of the tune. To save the car and myself if i was going 100mph or something maybe. Well now my wheel bearing has so much play that you can physically move it side to side when its off the ground. So ive got a new hub on the way and we'll see if it fixes it. Ill update this thread if it does.

But what im trying to say is maybe you have a bad wheel bearing? Or maybe the sensor on the hub side is shot. Ive read in places that a bad wheel bearing can cause issues with traction control and stability control.

Thanks for sharing your issues but I don’t have any issues with anything at all just the DIC displaying those three things, all after the serpentine belt broke and when I replaced it is when I got the DIC messages but the car is driving and handling just fine!

Yeah thats what happens with mine too and my sensors are also exposing the colored wire underneath. I get service traction, service stability, and reduce engine power. I think it hits limp mode cause of the tune. I can delete the code and it literally come out of it as the engine light goes out.

If you cant figure it out, you could always bring it to a dealer and they might hook it to a computer and drive it. If it happens the computer can read a fault wherever it is. Whether its a sensor or a wire fault. I'm getting to that point if the wheel bearing doesn't solve it.

Yeah that’s my next step! I’m going to see the dealer see what their computer says

It goes into limp mode to tell the idiot ignoring the warning lights to park it. That's why they are called "idiot lights".
