I'm having an issue I can't seem to figure out. I have a scanner and was able to pull some codes but here's what' happening. 

Randomly, the car will loose power, traction control light and check engine light come on. Here''s what comes up:

 

U0100-71 Lost communication with transmission control module-invalid data (brake control module)

U0100-71 Lost communication with transmission control module-invalid data (brake control module)

P0300-00 Engine misfire detected (ECM)

P124B-00 Cylinder 4 injector high control circuit shorted to control circuit

Cleared the codes and the car ran normal for a day or so, then same thing happened and same codes. Took the plastic off the engine and inspected wiring, wiggled wires to see if I can get it to happen again thinking maybe there's a break somewhere with the loss of communication. But nothing.

Ran it again fine, but then started to misfire and lights came on. Codes this time were only:

U0100-71 Lost communication with transmission control module-invalid data (brake control module)

U0100-71 Lost communication with transmission control module-invalid data (brake control module)

P0300-00 Engine misfire detected (ECM)

 

I also recall a few months ago, a couple of times my radio would turn off and on by itself like it lost power for a second. This made me think I had some sort of communication or loose power somewhere. I did install a new alternator and battery like 6 months ago so I checked all connections and they are fine. It's random.

What could it be?

  • Bad injector but intermittent? Don't they usually just go bad?
  • Shorted wiring causing intermittent issue or loss of communication back to control module?
  • Brake control module issue?
  • ECM issue?

Hy-per Lube Engine Supplement is a premium additive blend formulated to work with all motor oils, including conventional, high-mileage, and synthetic, to make older, high-mileage, and high-performance engines run better and last longer than they would with oil alone, according to
      link hidden, please login to view. It’s also suitable for use in manual transmissions, differentials and axles. Rislone said it previously offered the supplement in a one-quart bottle, making it easy to swap a quart of oil for a quart of Hy-per Lube at every oil change. Now that most consumers buy oil in larger jugs, Rislone added it took the opportunity to reduce the package size — and the price. Concentrating the formula enabled Rislone to package it in a 16.9 oz. bottle without diluting performance. The smaller bottle also reduces packaging waste and storage space.
      “Adding Hy-per Lube Engine Supplement to petroleum or synthetic oils turns them into hyper-performance lubricants that deliver heavy-duty protection for all driving demands across a wide range of engine and vehicle types,” said Clay Parks, Rislone vice president of development. “In these days of high prices, we’re proud to have found a way to lower ours. Our concentrated formula saves consumers money at the counter and in years to come by helping their engines last longer.”

      How To: Check and Refill Washer Fluid

      There is nothing simple about complex engine oil formulations. Effectively explaining to your customer how Valvoline’s Restore & Protect motor oil removes and prevents engine deposits may seem like a tough task.
          Dr. Michael Warholic, global technology director for Valvoline Global Operations, emphasizes the importance of visual evidence
      “Hey, look how this product performs,” said Warholic. “We have visuals showing that there’s a removal of deposits, that there is a reversing of the aging process in an engine. That’s a great case story to tell.”
          Warholic talks with Babcox Content Director Jason Morgan about the formulation process that sets Restore & Protect apart. The process involves a balance of various additives and components, tested rigorously in both laboratory and real-world conditions. It also involves combining base oils, viscosity modifiers, and a unique blend of additives. These additives include detergents to clean deposits, friction modifiers to reduce engine strain, and antioxidants to combat the breakdown of oil components. The goal was to create a motor oil that not only prevents the formation of new deposits but also removes existing ones, effectively rejuvenating the engine.
        “We wanted to do something different than everybody else,” said Warholic. “That’s what Restore and Protect does. It differentiates us from our competitors. It does something that no other oil does in the marketplace right now.”
           Restore & Protect could be considered a new category of motor oil that bridges the gap between conventional oils and high-mileage formulations. While high-mileage oils are designed for older engines, Restore & Protect is suitable for both new and aging engines. Its dual function of preventing new deposits and reversing existing ones makes it a versatile choice for a wide range of vehicles.
           This innovation is particularly valuable for engines operating under severe conditions, such as those used for towing or in high-traffic areas. The oil’s ability to handle these demanding environments while maintaining engine cleanliness offers a significant advantage over standard motor oils.
      “There’s always engine oil. Formulating is a little bit about give and take. The engine is a very complex machine. You have different temperatures, different pressures. It is really a very interesting field when you start digging into it.”
      “We do tons of data-driven testing. That’s what we live for.”
