    Question Mysterious drivetrain malfunction warning

    It came on a couple of days ago with loud screeching sound. Hasn't come on again. In the shop today. Their diagnostic scan didn't turn up anything. They're doing an oil change and new spark plugs. Any thoughts on the cause. Thanks.

    The shop you went to likely needs better tools to read what had happened.

    These cars store what happened, what codes and the conditions under which it had happened as well.
