Do you loose power to everything or does the motor just cut out?

If any sensor has NO COMM next to it post that also.


Even better would be to pull the codes the next time this happens BEFORE you turn the key to the OFF position. To pull codes with the engine running or before you turn the key OFF then back to the ON position you need to use the RESET button on the right side of the dash to clear any messages displayed in the Driver Information Center (DIC) and then pull codes as normal. There might be some codes with the letter C after them that could disappear if the key were cycled to OFF then ON again to pull the codes.
Thank you for the video. It helped mechanic with codes, It was the O2 sensors malfunctioning due to the wires being spliced at a performance shop. Thank you again for your help. Wanda
