Hello,
Recently bought a new 2011 Chevy Silverado. Today I decided to read the vcm on it to see what I can do as far as tuning on it. After reading the vcm (and tcm), the truck instantly gave me a Stabilitrak error light, and said the stabiltrak needed service. Then I lost my indicator light on the dash showing me what gear my transmission was in. I started driving a bit and noticed the truck was stuck in one gear (a higher gear) and it would not shift at all. I did some reading through the forum and tried the 30 second disconnect of the negative battery terminal. This seems to of gotten rid of the stabilitrak error, and the truck seems to be running normal again.
What caused this, and how can I avoid this happening again? I'm scared to even scan my vehicle again with the scanner.
