I was on the freeway earlier and while going up this bridge my car jerked and the VDC off/ slip lights came on. I proceeded to the shoulder and turned off the car, then turned it back on the car sounded like it had trouble turning over but still came on with the lights on still. When I got home I left the car alone for about an hour and then started it up with no lights or troubles. What is this? Or is it a sign for something?

 

sounds like when my cam position sensor went out

 

A simple search would have given you this result OP. Replace both if you need to, otherwise just the bad one...

 

Yea was doing research and that's what kept coming up! Is it an easy fix? Price? Also does it matter if it went away (well for now)

 

Urban- it actually came up with multiple things that could go wrong with these lights on. So that's why I asked. Also how am I suppose to know which is messed up if there's no codes given? Thanks again

 

They are not cheap unless you go in for non-OEM (im 15K miles on autozone ones).

You will get a code for it soon and you really should not drive the car with them on. It will die on you and at worst embarrass you... Mine happened on a date :P.

 

Lol nice info! I was kinda embarrassed today when it happen cuz I had my chick with me and had to pull over on a busy highway! So I definitely feel you on that! But I will be looking for this part online hopefully I can get something at good price. Was it an easy DIY install?

 

Dude, your car is like a nightmare, lol.

Here is a pic with the part locations and I think it's pretty straight forward.

 

You pick a picture that scares away someone afraid to work on their car -.-

A member called Silver Tiburon made a DIY replace cam position sensor guide. I recommend you check it out.

 

Well, I know he has worked on his car and has had several issues already come up. I posted the pic just to show where the sensors are. I'm sure he is more than capable to find some DIYs.

 

Yeah it happened to me as I was getting onto a completely stopped interstate in rush hour traffic, it was awesome (not). Had to keep revving to keep it from dying and then it would like try to take off without my foot on the gas lol.

The sensors are right between the firewall and the engine and at the very top, so not too hard to see, but hard to get into.


Here's that DIY :

Yea lol it is a nightmare car! Just after I hit 113,000 miles it started having problems left and right. Almost at a point of getting a newer model G lol but still love my G till it dies. But thank you all for the pics and info! It's much needed lol
