    Hey everyone need some advice. Waiting on a coder I ordered to help diagnose. Anyone else ever experience their gauges sporadically dip?

    The Tach, speed, and oil dip in sync, with the digital info above the center console flickers.

    The traction assist light comes on solid after the engine has been on for a minute, and then after driving for a minute the ABS light comes on solid. At this point the dips and flicker happen every 45sec to 1min.

    The engine is running smooth, no abnormal noises. The engine bay got soaked with coolant when the lower hose came off the thermostat. But it was only for about a minute in my driveway. No chance it overheated. But could it have knocked a sensor loose or shorted a module?

    Any experience with anything like that?

    First think I would check is the battery and grounds, load test battery. If it is going out, low on volts it can set off all sorts of alerts.

    Most likely a intermittent power issue. Make sure power and ground connections are good.

    The CAN signal could be cutting in and out but the lcd flicking sounds more like a power issue.
