SOLVED GMC Sierra & Chevy Silverado Service Stabilitrack Service Traction Control

[@StashMc]

I recently went to the dealership they charged me $500 to simply tell me that this piece was the issue and that it had been discontinued. I purchased on rock auto and did myself. Thank you.

[@boostmoderacing9722]

Absolutely

[@tdmmcl1532]

taping the steering wheel to lock it in place to prevent the clock spring from breaking is definitely the PRO TIP that will prevent the release of alot of very foul language. Good looking out! I am about to do this same replacement as I have already tested the wheel speed sensors (at all 4 wheels) and the brake switch (at the brake pedal assembly). Those devices and circuits were good, so that left just this wheel position sensor as the fault. Here were the symptoms of the problem for my 2011 GMC sierra for anyone interested: The stablitrack and traction control and abs light would illuminate ONLY when coming to a stop. However, when engine turned off and turned back on, those warn lights extinguished. My instincts from this symptom led me to believe that there was a wheel speed sensor issue (because applying brakes to stop showed the warn), or from the brake switch (again from applying brakes to stop which tripped the these fault warnings to display). However, this is where intuition isn't reliable, even though from a common sense aspect one would be led to believe one or both of those two systems were the root cause. This is where troubleshooting proves that common sense and intuition has it's limits. Turns out those systems and devices were no causing the fault. I replaced those devices...all wheel sensors and and connectors and inspected the wiring and did a ring out of the wiring too. Same with the brake switch. Even though they checked out okay, this is a 11 year old truck. Those things are going to fail sooner than later, so why not get them replaced now ! But, Nope..not those things. Warn lights still pop on braking to a stop. So that leaves the wheel position sensor. So that is next. I appreciate the 1-2-3 and tooling for this part replacement. Very good and thankS!

[@Braedon_McKeown25]

Hey I got the same issue, ABS and stabilitrak and traction control come on either in rain, or when i come to a stop but only comes on sometimes, sometimes it doesn’t come on at all. I was gonna replace the input sensors first, but after ready this i’m gonna do what was said in this video, this comments helped me a lot so i’m basically thanking you because our issue is exactly the same and now i’ve diagnosed it, hopefully it fixes my staibiltrak problem. it’s a 2010 silverado btw, thanks!

[@Braedon_McKeown25]

also do u think i should replace sensors first?

[@3gchapa]

Hi. I have similar symptoms on my 2008 gmc sierra. However, it also feel like the back breaks are "sticking" after leaving a stop. I recently had the front brakes and rear breaks replaced about a month ago. My question is, did your truck feel like the brakes were sticking as well when those abs, stable track control lights went on?

[@tdmmcl1532]

@@3gchapa no brakes issue..it was the brake switch for me.

[@3gchapa]

@@tdmmcl1532 ah ok thanks for letting me know. Appreciate it.

[@StanWanda1319]

This video was truly amazing. I had the Stabilitrak, Traction control service system light as well as ABS light on. Had the code downloaded from Autozone: C0050-00 and C0455-00. Most likely suspect was the steering wheel position sensor connector. Purchase it from rock auto for $50 bucks. All the tools specified in your video were spot on except I needed a Torque 25 bit for the bracket on the steering column. Had that sucker done in about an hour. Once again thank you so much for this video it really helped out tremendously. Couldn't have done it without it and I definitely save hundreds of dollars versus taking it to a dealership.

[@Koogz406]

Yep I spend 490 bucks I am so dumb to take the dealership and trust them it still flashes service and disabled track and stability then randomly back on and off for years now

My 08 Yukon had same issue. It was the brake light switch sensor that I replaced that fixed it.

[@Hugo-Hernandez]

Did you have to do anything special to reset the lights or just drive it and let it reset itself ??

[@pushnit2tbd620]

This is one of many possibilities. Each vehicle should be diagnosed its own problem. I had one with a wheel speed sensor. So replacing that part would have done nothing.

There is a steering column pin that can be used to hold the steering column in place during removal and installation. This may be an alternate to trying to secure it by taping it

[@MikeSmith-nu9wt]

I think he is talking about the one that locks ( sometimes ) when you turn the key off , but most dont work that good

[@brandonwarner2881]

FIXED! My 2014 gmc acadia slt was showing traction control off and service stabilitrak after just a few mins of driving after about 35mph if I accelerated more than 1/3 throttle the truck would cut power in quick intervals making the drivetrain shake hard. So after finding that my brake switch sensor was always triggering the lights to be on and it had to do with the slack that built up over the years in my brake peddle... changing the sensor wouldn't fixed the problem... so I added a small piece of plastic to the sensor to fix the problem. I've been driving it alot over the last few weeks with zero problems! Hope this helps someone.

[@americanpatriot2999]

So how can I determine which is bad, the postion sensor or the brake light switch.

[@christopherhaas5848]

My 2014 silverado was repaired free by the dealer because there is a recall for this problem. All it needs is a re-programming of the ECU.

It could be many things, not just this steering wheel position sensor. They are as follows for the most common... 1) wheel speed sensors 2) front hubs 3) steering wheel position sensor 4) clock spring

[@shallowtrapper9873]

Or the brake light switch

Ah, I am getting Service Traction Control DIC message about 1 mile after driving when the start temp is between 30 and 40 degrees.. It went away when I had the brakes and rotors changed and the message came back after about a year later. I'm leaning toward the wheel speed sensors as the cause but which one is the question.

[@fucktheleftFJB]

My front left tire acts funny at low speed turns, it feels sluggish like abs brakes in the winter, at the same time I get the warning light. Any ideas? It doesn't happen all the time.

You forgot about that there is the little keeper cover on the sensor that needs to come off before the sensor will come off its just 3 little plastic clips but pretty simple to do

Yes every video says Stabiltrac fix. What they all fail to realize is that is just a generic message much like the old cars used to flash the check engine in different patterns.

My 2016 silverados problem was the brake vacuum pump which I just found out that Chevy gave a specialty warranty for it, it should have been a recall because I never got anything telling me they gave the warranty to everyone with certain model and years. If I wouldn't have been bored and decided to see what warranties I had left I wouldn't have even known it and the warranty is only good for 72000 and I had just hit 70k

[@shockj2000]

So mine worked fine until I had front end done including the steering box. The steering wheel was spun around and broke the clock spring. I had an airbag light and the stabilitrack. So the airbag light is fixed but the stabilitrack light is on still. My question is would spinning the steering wheel break that steering wheel position sensor or throw it off even? You think I should replace it still? I have a 2013 Silverado Duramax

I have the traction light with the map code same fix?

[@nielsenphysique3329]

So I have this problem currently and wanna try this. But there's a clicking sound that sounds like it's coming from the engine and while driving it also has a hard time getting into gear when accelerating. I have a hard time believing that's just from a steering wheel sensor. Is that really it or is there something else going on as well?

Did you ever fix

[@Crison360]

My traction control turns off when idling. Driving forward for about 10 seconds turns TC back on and jerks my 07 new body Sierra in a nasty way. Could this also be an issue with the steering wheel position sensor?

[@LH81633]

treebeard9000 replace air filter if dirty!! Regap or replace plugs if too far gone!! Also put some very good fuel injector cleaner in tank as you may have a clogged injector!!! The jerking has to do with computer shutting things down do to sensors not properly telling it what’s wrong!!! In short!! You have a bad fuel ai ratio and all these sensors are confused!!!

[@meaninglessvalue7778]

Not a chance a dirty air filter would EVER cause traction control issues, either wheel speed sensors, bad ground, or steering wheel clock spring sensor

[@Crison360]

@@meaninglessvalue7778 turned out one of my valve lifters was going out causing a lot of grinding on the camshaft and making the engine block to shake. The shaking set off the TC sensor when at low idle. $1300 later but TC is solved at least.

@@Crison360 mines got to be the sensor under the steering wheel, I can drive a solid 15min before the lights come on. And other times the second I move the steering wheel a cunt hair itl throw the lights on and now this week turning sharp enough itl almost stop my truck dead in its tracks

[@sgt.hollowpoint6968]

@@meaninglessvalue7778 what was the issue? Ever fix it?

[@Deezey70]

Is the angle position sensor the same as a wheel position sensor? And is there not a reset you can do instead ? I changed my steering rack in 07 avalanche and front left brakes randomly lock up right when your trying to turn a corner etc. Code reader says its angle position sensor

[@LH81633]

Dustin King this almost ends up being a frade/dirty abs sensor or harness! Clean magnetic part on sensor clean abs ring in the Midwest we get build up from salt so it’s frugal out here! When turning and kicks on !

[@SteveCook-qi8fq]

Just put a new sensor in, and it didn't change a thing. Still have stabilitrak off and abs light on.
