I am currently having this issue. Mine seems to do it at random times while driving. i would be driving and the light would come on for a breif 1-2 seconds and go away. But also, it seems like the gauges (gas and oil) go down as if the car is shut off, then goes back up. Any one know why it would be doing this?

Jchavez961. My Chevy cobalt is doing the exact same thing. I've recently had a lot of brake work done but I'm not sure what's happening. Let me know if you find out the issue. Thanks!

TPerkins, still haven't figured out the issue. I had a couple brake work done too. New rotors and brakes. Still lighting up at random times for a quick second. Not sure why.

I picked it up last night. I'm going to copy what the sheet says: After operating vehicle for a few minutes GMLAN bus does offline. Measured 620HMS across terminals 6 and 14 of DTC. Manipulated wiring harness and found resistance fluctuation. Isolated poor circuits at C101. Replaced terminals and wiring for circuits 2501 and 2500. Cleared DTCS no further faults

Unhook your battery and clip positive and negative together for 10 minutes. It's like rebooting a computer

I've got a 2010 Traverse and it started intermittently flashing the security lock light, sometimes it would stay on. I pulled over and shut it down, but then encountered a no start situation. I repeatedly attempted to restart it, and after about 6 attempts it started. I read about interference from other RFID sources, and realized I have a building key fob on my key ring. I removed the source of the interference and my problem was solved. I was doubtful it was going to be the solution as i had the same key fob on for years prior, but realized i had inadvertently rearranged my keys on the key ring when i removed work keys recently to drop off the car at the tire shop and the "issue" presented a few days later.
