Service ESC - TSB?

I searched for Service ESC and I get "The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search: esc"

Is there a TSB related to this issue?

On bitter cold days my DIC will sometimes flash "Service ESC" then shut the ESC down and display "ESC shut down" or something similar and turn on the yellow idiot light.
The first few times it happened I pulled over, shut off the engine, restarted it and the issue usually didn't return.
Now, when it happens, I just shift to neutral, shut off engine, restart engine and shift back to drive.
That clears the issue but often disables cruise control unless I park, shut off, restart, etc...

I'm getting work done at a reputable dealer next week and am searching for TSBs so he can get started right away without having to search himself.

So again, Is there a TSB related to this issue?


Sorry if this has been effectively dealt with before but I couldn't find the answers myself.

Thanks

I poked around too Mowgli, maybe its part of another longer TSB and we just missed it. Regardless, once the dealer pulls the code/codes it should give them an idea of where to start looking.

Glad you found a reputable dealer, they can be few and far between at times these days.

Every time I speak with the service department at the dealer I bought the car from the servman acts like I'm a PITA instead of a customer.

I am a PITA but have never let them know it

The service dept at the dealer I'm going to use has a good local reputation, has good reviews online and is actually friendly, pleasant and helpful in real life.

The code it threw indicates a shot "yaw sensor"
