Vanishing Codes???? What's the deal
I have had “ghost codes” in the past two weeks, is this an indication of things to come?
I have has three separate service soon lights and the following conditions. One time I had the ABS light come on, the second and third time I had a bad shock indication and a maximum speed of 80 mph.
When I had the codes read there were not set. They were not cleared but disappeared after several starts.
Has any one had this type of experience, is there a hidden problem?

Re: Vanishing Codes???? What's the deal (Rick-M)
It's normal for codes to "disappear" if they do not happen for, I believe, 10 start cycles.
Intermittant codes of all types like you're having usually indicate bad ground connections somewhere. A good C5 tech should be able to tell you where the connections are so you can clean them up (loosen, scrape and re-torque).
Good luck!
