Hey everyone. Hopefully you can help me out so first let me show you the massive list of faults that are coming up on my screen.
So the start of this issue began with me replacing my brake pads. I have only 6800 miles on the car and I felt that I could benefit more at the track from getting some track pads. I replaced them while keeping the same rotors. No issues with install. I even used brake grease which I almost never do (of course not on the non contact side). So I do my brake bedding procedure, braking from 35 to 10, then 50 20 a few times. No issues. Drove on the highway and tested the pads, still no issues.... Then I come to the track..
.. As soon as I get on track I do a nice amd easy first lap, just to warm everything up. As soon as I begin my hot lap and get on the brakes one good time...Bam issue. At first, it was just mechanical. Some vibrations, I continue my run at about 5/10 for 2 more laps just to see if it goes away. It doesnt. I get back off the track go for a short drive to cool everything off and I even do some progressive hard braking from 45mph to test the issue. It seemingly had gone away. Next hot lap after my cool down I get up to 80mph, on to the brakes, vibration again. This time pretty bad. So bad all the sudden I get aaaaaalllllll the flashing lights. Instantly I know i had something that must have dislodged.
Is there anybody on here who has seen all these codes pop up at once? I remember seeing a thread on here about someone who had a random sensor come out that caused not exactly same issues as I have but similar. But for the life of me I can't find it. Oh and to add insult to injury, my drive modes dont work either. SPORT mode only. So if anybody could help me out I would really appreciate it. The weekend will be long because of Labor Day so I wont be able to take the car to the dealer until Tuesday. Any input would greatly help! Thanks guys.
