Help, my 2000 Vert went from a good reliable car to a heap of trouble overnight.
Last week I got the Service Steering Column Lock message. The next day the car was ok. A few days latter I was driving and started getting messages that I was in Competive Driving mode, then Traction Control was off, then on. After I parked I wasn' able to start it. I disconnected the battery, reconnected it and was able to start and drive home.
Since I have owned this car for 4 years, I didn't know how old the battery was, so I replaced it with an Optima Red Top. It still would not start.
If I disconnect the battery and reconnect, I hear relays clicking, it will start and run. I leave it set for five minutes and nothing. Messages on DIC, REDUCED ENGINE POWER, SERV. TIRE MON SYS., LOW FUEL, CHECK TIRE PRESSURE, SERVICE VEH. SOON. Check codes, get: 40-BCM NO COMM;99 HVAC NO COMM;58-SDM U1000HC, U1064HC; 60-IPC U1160HC,U1176HC; 80-RADIO U1064H; AO-LDCM U1064; A1-RDCM U1064H; BO-RFA U1096H,U1064H,U1016H.
I have checked all the ground points, they are clean and tight. I examined the BCM for water damage from a clogged evaporator drain. No sign of damage.
Any idea what might cause this condition? Help.
