Drivetrain cont. driving possible
I could not find anything on this error, so I thought I post my current issue. The car will shift into neutral with the error on dash stating Drivetrain: cont. driving possible. You turn off and you get Automatic start/stop deactivated. The car will then will start up with no issues after trying to restart the car. The car has no check engine codes to help point me in the right direction. I took the car to the dealership (Winslow in Colorado Springs) and paid an extra $200 to have the transmission checked over, and was told it was not the issue. The dealership stated the problem was related to being low on gas? The car had a quarter of tank of gas when this happened, and is my sons car. The issue happens about once every couple of weeks for the past month.
The car has around 150k miles and is slow to respond at low rpms. I am thinking because of the low rpm response it might be related to the vanos sensor, but I might be going down a rabbit hole, is there anyway to test the vanos sensor or clean it? I have a follow up apt now at the dealership in a couple of weeks but would love to fix it sooner.

Find an independant shop, a few of them will do free diagnostics on it.
