Default eLSD service light

I have a 2017 Z51 and I have had no problems with it except I get a service eLSD notice on occasion. I have taken it to a dealer a couple of times and they can't find anything wrong with it because it doesn't store a code in memory. When the service light goes off the eLSD screen goes to zero until I stop the engine and turn it off, and then when I turn it on everything goes back to normal. This obviously resets the diff, and the car runs fine when the eLSD is deactivated.
Has anyone else run into this problem?

They can't fix it if it isn't broken when you bring it in. Hope the next time it happens you are near their location and they are open. Drive in and leave the engine running until they look at the car.

I think there was a TSB for this issue, one of the connectors at the eLSD control module had some issue with a contact/pin not being seated properly in the connector, causing an intermittent connection. Try unplugging and re-plugging-in the connector (s) on the eLSD control module, located under the car, between the muffler and the driver side rear wheel.

I took mine in with the problem occurring and the dealer still can't figure it out. Recently the problem occurs after 4 laps on the track. Have to finish the session with an open diff.
