Camaro Electrical Issues

Has anyone experienced weird electrical issues with their older Camaro? I have a 2002 Chevy Camaro with a gasoline engine, and recently, things have gone haywire. The error memory is full of codes, I'm seeing general electrical malfunctions, and the navigation system is completely dead. My car has 104069 km. Could faulty vehicle software be the culprit?

Summary of the thread

A 2002 Chevy Camaro is experiencing electrical issues, including a full error memory, general malfunctions, and a dead navigation system. The problem may be linked to faulty vehicle software, as similar issues were resolved through software recalibration or refresh. A professional workshop is recommended for addressing these software-related malfunctions.

I also drive a Camaro and had similar problems. Electrical gremlins are a pain! Does the car seem to be running okay otherwise, aside from the error messages and the nav? Have you noticed any other systems acting up, like the radio or the climate control? The programming of the control unit may be implausible, leading to these issues.

Thanks for the quick response! Aside from the nav being totally dead, the radio sometimes cuts out, but comes back on after a while. The climate control seems fine, though. What was the fix for your Camaro? Was it actually related to the software?

Yes, it does sound very familiar. In my case, it was indeed the vehicle software causing the problem. The error memory was overflowing with codes related to various modules. It points to a software malfunction. The cost to fix this issue was around 240€. You will probably need recalibration or a software refresh from the professionals at your local workshop.

Appreciate the help, that's really good to know! I'll take it to a shop ASAP and mention the software issue and recalibration. Hopefully, that sorts everything out. Thank you!
