Just like every WNYer, and every other SnowFarer out there, who has a RWD-based sports SUV... I decided to have some fun after picking up my son from basketball.

We pulled into the massive empty parking lot next to the Y.. I switched to Sport.. turned off traction control.. held down for AdvancTrac off.

Let her rip for a solid 3-4 precise donuts with plenty of snow and slush to keep it smooth as melted butter.

After the last one.. I heard the charm sound. Traction control is stuck off, service advancetrac, hill assist fault, reverse brake assist fault and a bunch of others. Was also thrown into Normal mode and when trying to switch it says Drive Mode Unavailable or whatever.

I remember someone else having this issue but couldn't find the thread.. obviously going to pull it right into service tomorrow but wondering if there is a quick fix. Truck has been on and off multiple times.. I have not pulled the battery yet either.

Any ideas?

i think you may be referring to the multiple faults when a speed sensor fails. maybe your snow escapade somehow disconnected it.
