Did this last night on a 2012 Traverse and it worked like a charm! Running nice today!! Thank you so much - I’m no mechanic by far but you made it easy!!

[@anybodysguess960]

Thanks man. I followed your instructions. Cleaned out the throttle body with the correct spray. It started up and there was no reduced engine power. The engine light was still on so I took off the positive battery terminal and put back on and that cleared out the engine light. Drives better than ever.

This is the issue I am having with my Traverse. The Traction control light comes on, the Service Air Bags, and sometimes it has Engin Power Failure and won’t accelerate. I believe it to be the Throttle Body so I will check it out. Thanks for sharing.

[@edwardtextor7534]

I never would have associated the Service Traction Control error to the Throttle Body or Throttle Position Sensor. Stupid programming in my opinion. I did this Throttle Body cleaning yesterday and so-far our Traverse is running fine again. I didn't actually have any throttle body or carburetor cleaner handy so I used starting fluid. I cleared the error codes and we're good to go. Thank you for this video!

I had no issues with mine. As part of maintenance I cleaned everything and the oily filter area he showed , drove fine. Decided to do a seafoam on the intake and it now shows this message.

Will this cause a “Service traction control” light?

[@nofkzgvn9508]

What does the throttle have to do with traction control?

[@juniorrivera9450]

Would this cause my engine to lightly shake because i had those lights pop up and my engine was lightly shaking??

[@Schaff79]

Thanks I may have other questions about my traverse you seem to know more than everyone else I feel like my car just keeps having issues but I love the vehicle

I have a 2012 Chevy Traverse LS and my issue is that the brakes always tighten up when I’m on a hill or on the interstate. I literally have to pull over and wait for the brakes for hours to loosen up yet the Stabilitrak light pops up as well as the ABS light.

[@samanthamicek3075]

So if I do this my light will go off that came on right after we did the brakes and that is now on my dash and it says traction control and stabilizer bar never seen it but one time before this but went off now it won't and plus my ABS light came on to

[@wild8757]

I have a trailblazer that says service traction control, I don’t have any reduced engine power and I cleaned the throttlebody with throttlebody cleaner, I still have service traction control, any thoughts?

[@NormandyBlakeney]

I have a 2014 traverse that the throttle continues to advance at start. The rpm’s run up really quick. I shut it down it and so far starts correct the second try. Any ideas what this could be?

[@michaelbugler9452]

Do you have to erase the codes after doi g this?

[@kingflyty1829]

Did you have to relearn throttle body

[@roberttanner8927]

I have a 2010 Traverse that died while driving it. The display says traction control off and it won't start. It will run on starting fluid but that's it. I've checked fuses and replaced the fuel pump and confirmed fuel to the Schrader valve at the engine but still won't start. Any help????

[@titoortiz]

Starter my 16 traverse last night. The whole car was shaking the engine was sounding weak. The Lights came on saying traction control disable, then Stability message came on along with the light. Let it idle for a few minutes, restarted it and was fine. But light was still on. Would this help fix the issue as well?

[@palominomjr]

Thank you! This was very helpful! Do you know anything about why the odometer light is on when I start the car and then it dims out.

[@Flashback502]

Sorry not sure, glad could help

[@dancurrier6421]

i cleaned mine out couple days ago changed right front strut and now I have service traction and stabilizer light on the dash im confused why this happened any help would be appreciated thanks 👍

[@lenasmith7557]

OnStar was connected to these cars now OnStar is discontinued it's services to cars older than 2013 the system on these car are unable to read ECM.....Chevy owe us owners some money in my opinion

[@RicVee1]

I did this and it worked for a while, but the issue is now back and im pissed off. Took this all apart again and throttle body and plenum still clean. i might try the TPS

[@nwitt85]

did this on my 2015 taverse and now my ABS / Stabilitrak / Traction Control lights are gone, but i am getting brake pedal vibrations/jumping like i have a worn rotor. anyone have any ideas? is this an ABS issue? could be a rotor issue but this only started happening right after cleaning out the throttle body

[@brandyjoy]

my 2014 has been doing this and every mechanic i talk to says something different so im going to try this

[@Flashback502]

Hope it helps. Glad could help Please subscribe like and share 🙏.

[@MoreSunneDaze5]

Did this but the problem came back I was so hopeful

[@ravenman6050]

It found out that there are several issues which cause the ECM to shut down traction control and reduce power to 3 cylinders. It looks like chevy installed a safety protocol that is too sensitive and will shutdown on the slightest error signal. The wheel sensor in my Traverse kept shutting the system down.

[@anybodysguess960]

If you clean it like you said and it works will the warning lights that come up go away on its own?

[@Flashback502]

If that's your only issue then it should after driving about 10miles.

[@naomiferreira6313]

Hello.. The stabilititrak light come on and off on my chevy traverse 2019.. what could be the issue? Thanks in advance!!

[@Flashback502]

Can be many things but check your tire pressure, common cause of problem. Please subscribe like and share 🙏.

[@J-remyM]

That’s oil from the engine that’s in there it gets in there from that small tube that is connected to the part that connects your TB to the air box. Being that these vehicles (07-13) are prone to timing chain issues i do my own oil changes every 4000 miles and clean that oil from that part every time so it does not build up to the point of becoming an issue

[@dancurrier6421]

what year Chevy Traverse my air filter box is all one piece can't separate it. My throttle body looks very clean not sure what is going on service traction control and stability lights are on the dashboard

[@Flashback502]

This is a 2011. Sorry, not sure what is going on with yours. Please like subscribe and share

[@franciscomacias1952]

It's also you break pedal sensor that's what fixed mine it's Under $30 dollars

[@brookejones853]

Mine keeps having Stabiltrak come on and car won’t get power again to start. Jumping it won’t even help. We changed fuses on ECM too.

[@chanicecarter2612]

I’m having problems with mine the traction control comes on and it won’t start

[@Flashback502]

Your TC may need to be serviced, please subscribe like and share and check our my other helpfull videos.

[@marknangela]

My 2013 Chevy Traverse LT turns the TC light on and reads Service Stability Track and Service Traction Control. We have not cleaned the throttle yet. Is this simple to do myself or should I have a mechanic do it? The suv runs normal I don't feel any difference but it's concerning when I'm driving and it turns on. If anyone with the same situation please advise if you solved the problem. TIA

[@latenite3931]

Unfortunately this didn't work for me

[@Gabyregia]

Mine was dirty like that but it ended up being the fuel pump.

[@Flashback502]

L's up👍🏾

[@mr.phresh2408]

Mines says same thing, and shakes hitting bumps, and no control in the rain . What suggestions could be the issue?

[@Flashback502]

Your traction control sounds like it needs to be serviced.

[@lugeanfranklin253]

That's not my issue. My issue is while I'm driving the vehicle the brake is pressing down causing the stablizertrak service traction control light to come on . I'm steady having to pull the brake back up with my feet. To keep the light from coming on

[@coocooforcoffee4248]

It didn’t work

[@eastons22126]

I got these alerts after I changed my struts and got it realigned. No change in power at all. i tried this method in your video and no change. Was told to remove the negative battery terminal which i did and that still didn't fix it. Now what?

[@chazzwazer]

Hace this problem + a lot of white smoke coming out of the exaust, smells like raw gasoline
