Default Mild@Wild Question

I installed the Mild2Wild kit and was very pleased until I kept encountering the "SERVICE TRACTION / REDUCED POWER" message. The dealer checked with GM engineering and learned that a water leak in the connector box in the engine compartment was the blame. They moved the connector assy to a location behind the battery where water cold not enter. However, they also disconnected my M2W citing an error message appearing on their diagnostic equipment.

Anyone had the same problem after installing a M2W unit?

Thanks! - Ted

Mild2Wild does not generate any CEL or problem codes. Its in thousands of cars and has been on the market for 3 yrs. 100% not related to mild2wild

We have tons of GM dealers installing it on delivery of new cars.

I think the dealer should provide you with the exact error code..It kind of sounds like they disconnected your M2W as a proactive way for the other problem to go away. I've had M2W for almost two years with out any error messages. I've got three or four friends with the same results. It was a very well engineered mod that works as intended. Sounds like the dealer is full of

Thanks for the responses! I also felt the Mild2Wild was not the issue and will re-install!
