Trac Off Issue

My Trac Off comes on; the RPM's shut off; then the oil light will come on followed by the battery then eventually the car shuts down....HELP.
 


WAT.. like out of no where?? i wouldent have an idea but im just trying to figure out quite just why this happens??

or are you saying when you turn tracion off it this happens??
 
ahhh okay. idk thats quite odd. im sure someone will chime in tho cause i have not got the slitest clue. i assume something in the pcm tho but what..
 


I meant PCM. There was another user that said it may be that.
It is not an immediate shut down. It is a slow die.
Any thoughts?
 
The PCM stands for Powertrain Control Module. Or... The computer of your car. It controls everything in your car pretty much.


What year is your car? Does the rpm gauge needle go all the way up then fall back down. Does the car start right back up?
 
A bad wheel hub would cause your Traction Control Light to come on and stay on but it would not cause your car to turn off or die
 
It is a 2002 GT.
No the RPM needle just falls down right after the Trac Off comes on.
The car will start back up. Sometimes right away sometimes after numerous attempts.
 
Do you have any codes? I mean it's really hard to tell what the problem would be by the facts that you've given us. And i understand that may be all you have to give us. Usually when the CPS (crank position sensor) goes out the rpm needle will do as i described.
 


I don't have any codes....sorry. It is at a shop to get this problem fixed but they can't replicate what is happening.
I had the catalytic converter replaced 2 weeks ago. Over this past weekend the battery was dead (bad battery).
It worked fine Sunday then Monday coming home it happened again. It started before I had the catalytic converter changed out.

Could it the ICM like the problem I am having???
 
At this point maybe so. Does anybody know if the tcs off light and the brake lights always come on if the engine stalls? The lights are whats throwing me off.
 
When was the last time the fuel filter was changed? Could be starting to get clogged and after so many miles down the road, it starts moving the crap around in the filter and slowly starts blocking the fuel. Just a thought. But the same here, the lights are throwing me off.
 


2 years ago I had a harness fire.
Do you think it could be the position of the commutator on the ignition switch?
Maybe some of the grease is gone...
