I purchased the '07 Equinox new from a local dealer. The vehicle is a LT3 model. I have had no problems with the vehicle until cold weather started this year. With temperatures below freezing, the ABS and traction fault indicator symbols come on and the information displays states that ABS is disabled, traction control as well as AWD.
I have taken it in to the dealer twice so far and no faults are recorded in the limited history of the control unit according to the technician. That alone makes diagnostics difficult at best. Theyy have performed firmware updates which were available, and suspose to correct the lost of cummunications between the modules of the 18 subsystems on the vehicle. All seemed good. that is until this morning, when the temperatures went down to 31 degrees F.
No ABS, no traction control, no AWD. Not a fun thing when there is snow and ice on the road. And we are forecasted for cold temps and more snow.
Has anyone out there experienced the same or simular shutdown of the ABS/AWD on this vehicle?
