    Been scanning through these forums but have not seen an issue like I am having. I'm down to my last few options to solve my issue.

    I have a 2000 GP GT, 3.8ltr and the issue is that the DiC will only flash 0 in all modes, along with the flashing, the "Trac Off" light remains on. The unit is O.E. and never replaced. I though am not having the seem to be related problem of any ABS issues. No ABS indicators have ever come on and it still functions perfectly fine.

    I just had a bad wheel bearing replaced in hopes that it was the bearing sensor but to no avail. Computer reset, drove for a good 35 miles and still all modes flashing.

    Now, I can get the DiC to function properly for a short time by getting an underbody flush at a local car wash or during heavy rain. The display starts working when the flush hits the front end (about in line with the wheels) I have ruled out a loose sensor due to 2 reasons, first is that the readout has never fixed itself during dry road driving, bumps of any sorts do not seem to solve the issue. Second is that I have pulled off to the side after exiting a car wash to clean the inside while the readout displayed properly. The vehical was not running but in the on position for about 10-15 minutes before the dispaly switched back to flashing zero and "trac off" lit back up.

    Oh, to add to the mystery. I am not getting any Service Engine codes when scanned.

    So, a few questions. First obviously is, Does anyone know what is wrong? second, are there any sort of senors that could have goten dirty? (I ask this cause of the car wash temporary fix, seems like a sensor is located in an area that can get this pressure wash)

    Thanks for any help.

    Sounds like a broken wire or a ground problem. The water conducts electricity and "completes" the circuit. Ring all wires in the front harness' coming from the front wheels. I had a similar but different situation with my car causing the "low tire pressure" and "ABS" lights to stay on. It was a broken wire. Food for thought. Anyone know how many miles of wire in a GP?

    Same exact problem here in my 99 GTP, under body was has no effect tho lol Mine will sometimes be normal when I start the car but as soon as I start movin everything goes all 0's. Good luck figuring it out, I posted something about it a few months back and didnt have 1 reply. Local shop said most likely bad wiring or computer problem like it could be "off line" somehow....
