Hello everyone.

My 2006 died on the freeway. Lost power suddenly.

I have a decent working knowledge of automotive fundamentals as I have a Camaro that I work on regularly.

I have yet to get the car home to see if I have fuel and spark. I don't know if I lost fuel pressure or spark just yet.

But the curious thing is I have no power to the start either.

The vehicle electrical system is functioning since all radio and accessories work.

The oil light came on, but I have oil in the pan as I checked the dip stick. Is there an oil pressure sensor that will disable the engine and starter if it is malfunctioning or detects a loss in pressure?

Is the starter relay working?

Could be you blew the AM2 fuse in the under dash fuse block, although don't know why that would happen rolling down the highway, unless something else died and took out the fuse.

Never good when the engine suddenly stops running, worse at high speeds. Good job dealing with that, glad nothing worse happened.

(your first post, so belated Welcome to GenVibe!)

The neutral safety switch is a module on the outside front of the transmission, where the shift cable connects.
If it has a problem the starter will not run.
The crank trigger pickup is down there also on the passenger side by the balancer.
If it has a problem the engine will not run.
The oil pressure switch is in the center down there, by the oil filter.
When it goes bad it usually leaks oil.
Did you hit any road debris that coud have come up from the bottom and damage something?
