Up shift to resume power
Anyone seen this message? I hit an off ramp aggressively doing 60mph, nothing crazy like losing traction or anything a Toyota Echo couldnt do, all the sudden loss of power, message on the display said a stabilitrac message about engine power reduced, once I let off the message changed to up shift to resume power, I did and it was back to normal, did I lose oil pressure in a casual corner? Or do I have to turn stabilitrac off now for city driving? I'm sure this message would pop up in the first corner of a track

having the tune opens up a lot of things that could be programmed wrong. also always check for header or exhaust leaks. header bolts can slightly loosen and really mess up your whole system.

i think wet sump cars get higher loads than that all the time without issue. i think it is mod related. this is where logging comes in handy. you can log oil pressure, fuel trims, etc etc and try to duplicate it and see what looks weird.

Yes it's a wet sump
The tune I've always been suspect to since it seems to not run the greatest ever since I installed it,
But apparently the data logs looked fine on a dyno run, even tho I'm still showing a CEL for p0036, been a few months now and can't get to the bottom of it
But hey I guess it's normal since its coming from one of the biggest C7 centrifugal companies
I don't think that's the issue since its a rear O2 code and apparently doesn't effect fuel trims, but when they can't get that fixed it makes you suspect to the rest of the tune

The DIC message due to possible oil starvation in a wet sump engine is supposed to be, "Upshift Now, Engine Protection Active" according to the manual.
I think Higgs is correct in that you likely have a tune issue causing a glitch.
