VSC abd TC lights on and car lost power, Need HELP...... GU8

[WogsRus]

Hi guys

So driving to work this morning I had an interesting experience and need some help. It has been pissing down with rain so on days like today i drive with the VSC turned off, as i have found that if you are going across an intersection and need to give it a boot to get out of the way, with the VSC turned on the car will die in the ass and crawl across thus not a pleasant place to be.

So this morning going to work, came into a round about a bit hard i suspect and the ass end came around, no biggie been there done that, stick the boot into it to control the slide and the car lost all power, both the VSC and TC lights came on, and the engine lost all power. Had to pull over, and turn the ignition of and on again and all good like nothing ever happened.

I know there is not many GU8's getting around the forum, but has anyone had this issue previously????

Will talk to Nissan after i plug the computer in to see if any error codes came up.

Hmmm, sounds bit strange mate. I leave my vdc on all the time as it doesn't effect normal driving and only kicks in when flat out or hard on dirt.

Your vdc sounds like its to sensitive.

Good luck with mate

Also sounds like you need to drive to conditions as well.

Yeah like i said, a bit to exuberant perhaps, not the norm thats for sure.

A lot of ESP/VSC systems stay switched on (in a less aggressive mode) even if you've turned them off.

yeah i figured but still does not explain the complete loss of engine power

Was it a complete loss of power or just a short drop in revs? I have found every now and then when I go through the round about near the crescent hotel in north Hobart heading up hill I will lose a bit of power and the revs drop a bit. Have spoken to the Hobart dealer and even taken the head technician for a drive and was told it is most likely just the computer being to slow. Sounded like a bit of BS to me but the power loss has been loged with them. Let us know how you go

Hi Mania, nope complete power loss nothing at all, had to pull over and restart the motor to make it go. Basically idle only no drive at all
