Hello everyone,I have an '05 roadster with 43,000 miles on it. The story about the Skreem module is scaring me. Does it have anything to do with the amount of milage on the car? The only problem I've had was two weeks ago I went to the beach about an hours drive with the top down, it was about 90 degrees outside, went to put the top up and it just beeped at me, lights for top, air foil, and traction control all lite up. Turned off the car, started it up 3 times and everthing worked no problem since, has this happened to anyone else? I had Auto Zone do a battery check, starter check and alternator check, everything good. What should I be keeping an eye on? BTW you guys are great, I have fixed many little annoying problems with the advice on this forum. I am in Tampa Fl also. Thanks for any help.Gary

 

Did you have Autozone check for any DTC codes also ?
Did the Check Engine light ever come on ?

 

What's up with all this SKREEM module talk? Are they all starting to fail?

 

No, when a few go wrong there is no need to panic. A couple of failures in a few thousand cars and I think most are new members who joined just because of the SKREEM module failure symptoms.

Sorry been away from the computer. No I didnt have them check that code. I suppose they would know what that code means, I'll go back and have them check it. I'm not sure what that code means, can you enlighten me? And no the check engine light didn't come on. After starting it 3 different times everything worked and is still working.

 

The 'DTC' codes are malfunction codes stored in memory, a scanner is required to retrieve / reset them. You can have codes that point to a past problem without having the CEL ( check engine light ) come on ( or it may have come on and gone back off without you noticing it )

Look in the helpful links for a list of known codes.

obviously there was a fault, a voltage or amperage spike that caused the car to react the way it did. this could have come from a host of switches, like the trunk, etc. I don't think you have anything to worry about at this stage. Everyone should pay close attn to the trunk area. Moisture in that area, from leaky spoilers, to wet clothing, coolers isn't something you want in that area with all the electronics that under the mat....
