Had quite the WTF experience this morning on my morning commute to work. The SHO is a '17 and is stock (for now). As im backing out of my driveway, the car chimes up that the AWD is disabled. The error cleared with a push of the "OK" button but immediately comes back. So I shut down and restart the car. No more error. I start my 26 mile trip to work. I changed the right hand gauge to the awd gauge to see if the car is indicating power going to the back, and all looked normal. As im getting up to speed entering the freeway, the error comes back. Again it says the AWD is disabled. Then the car chimes to service the advancetrac. Like the AWD error, at first it would clear but then it came right back. The whole time the advancetrac dummy light is on as well. Odd, because the gauge still showed power to the rear, at least it did when I could see the gauge between the warnings popping up. So I decide I'm going to take the next exit and turn back for home. As I'm exiting the freeway, the whole display system goes haywire. The low engine oil warning came on as well as it's dummy light, then the service engine light immediately after. Then it gets more odd. All of a sudden the gauges all go to 0, as if the car was off. No speed, no rpm. The car is still driving fine though. No odd sounds, nothing out of the ordinary except for what the display is showing. Right after this happened the sync system starts announcing that it cannot connect to 911 and to contact the dealer. This repeats until I come up to a safe spot to stop and shut off the car. So I do that, I shut it off for a minute and restarted. Restarted, everything was normal. No errors or warnings. I get back on the freeway to go back home. I get off at my exit to return home and all symptoms reappear. Im going 55 mph and the speedometer is showing 0, and 0 on the tach. Just then it hit me, I'll just pull up torque (I have the ODBLink MX always installed) to see what it shows. My android phone gave me an error that torque pro had crashed and needed to be restarted, so I restarted it. Then ****! The speedometer and tach came back, and all errors went away. I turned around once again and continued on my way to work. I kept torque up to watch the car, but had no more issues. I believe that somehow the app was causing some interference on the communications bus, but an not sure. Had anybody else experienced something like this with an ODB scan tool?
