2011 6.0 misfire flashing CEL/service traction control

[Frits]

The truck is a 2011 2500 gas and has ran great the year that I've had it. Just came up on 105,000 miles.

 

I had a no start last week when it was -30f but I jumped it and it's been fine since. Today i tried to remote start it and it just tried to crank for half a second, no start, wouldn't go again so I had to go out and start it myself and it fired right up. The CEL came on after this but it ran fine on my hour drive to work. 

The hour drive home turned into an hour and a half with snow and it ran fine until I was idling at a gas station in park. Idle went down to 500 rpms and was rough, no surging, rpms didn't vary much. As I was leaving town again the CEL started flashing and the service traction light came on, also i noticed some surging like as if i had given it more gas. After about a minute of driving the flashing stopped and the traction message went away. It happened again like this and stopped again.

 

When i got back on the highway it ran fine as far as i could tell but traffic was only doing 35mph.

 

I got the following codes of my cheap scanner.

P0030

P0053

P0135

P0137

P01133/P1133?

P0300

When i got the truck at 90,000miles there was a box under the back seat with old spark plugs and a couple coils, your guess is as good as mine as to if/when the ignition system was serviced but it seems like they might have had a similar problem then.

 

Any ideas? Thanks.

Ok i calmed down and googled the codes. Faulty o2 sensors bank one, both front and rear, and a random misfire.

My current guess is the the number one o2  is malfunctioning which is causing the engine to random misfire which is causing the rear o2 sensor to see an air mixture that it doesn't usually see.

 

But why the service traction control?

Every one of those codes is for o2 issues, except for the misfire code at the end, which is an "effect" rather than a "cause". I would focus all my attention on the upstream o2 sensor wiring  - I'm betting you'll find wiring resting right on the exhaust, or, green crust in a connection.

I checked it out, that’s a no on both counts. Wire looks fine and connector is clean. Gonna throw in a new sensor and cross my fingers.

If the wiring is good, probably an internally shorted sensor.  

 

I would plug in a known good sensor from the truck, just to verify circuit integrity before buying a new one, though. In a worst case scenario, the computer driver could be fried. Not likely, but it does happen.

Seems that almost any other powertrain trouble code(s) will also trigger a "Traction Control" or "Stabilitrak" error message as well, even if there is nothing wrong with those particular systems.  My guess is they just want you to know that traction control/stabilitrak may not function properly if your vehicle has other problems.

It Took me almost 3 hours to find somebody who had the correct O2 sensor in stock. Everybody wanted to give me one that had a male connection but mine has a female connection. I did finally get the O2 sensor replaced and I’m putting some miles on it and try to see if I can reproduce the problem so far it seems good thanks for the help.
