2015 silverado 1500 no snow donuts

[chevyfan77]

Got our first good snow here in Indiana the other day. Took out my daily driver (which I bought this summer) and did a few donuts. Instantly the stability control kicks on and then it turns off all of my electronics for a few seconds. After that, it all comes back on. Any idea what's going on? Even if I turn a corner and stability control kicks on it will turn it all off. so weird.

Like shuts off the radio, dash, hvac, those electronics?

What happens when you turn off the traction (stability) control?

 

[chevyfan77]

yes, cuts off the radio, dash, hvac, and all. I've turned it off, and it will start okay, then kick it on automatically and shut down again.

Are you sure it’s the traction control doing it? Maybe the battery or something electrical is moving under centrifuged force.

That sounds like a loose cable somewhere. Traction control won't turn off the dash.

That is a three teir thing you're trying to turn off. Stage 1 is traction control, which can be turned off by hitting that button below the infotainment dealie. Next stage is Stabilitrac. Hold down the traction control button for like 5 seconds and you'll get a message saying stabiltrac is off too. Third stage is pulling the ABS fuse because even after stage 1 and 2 the babysitter/fun-killer systems are still "active", just not quite as aggressive.

Turned out to be loose battery cables. Tightened them down and good to go. Apparently this generation had some crappy cable wires.

Was going to say…hit the traction control button and my ‘19 will do donuts all day bouncing off the rev limiter.
