SOLVED GMC Sierra & Chevy Silverado Service Stabilitrack Service Traction Control 

i can not find my 10mm

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.

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.

This video made that job go the easiest that I have ever done he explains it prefect all I can say is thank you

I have a 2019 RST that's having a similar issue and sounds like this might be my problem. Thanks for making this video.

Thanks for the video. All worked just as you described. One other thing to add is my problem was temperature sensitive. Only got the warning lights when ambient temp was 80 degrees or better. Very frustrating, so happy to have problem behind me. Thx.

Just i finished the installation, thanks so much for your time to make the video, hope it work in my gmc, just stoped in the middle of cold weather in the middle of the nowhere in 🇨🇦..ugly experience.

2012 1500 suburban. Had service stabilitrak and service traction control on information display. Swapped this out and fixed the problem. Followed the video to a T and had no problems. Thanks for the informative video

Thanks for the video, i cleaned that steering wheel sensor connection with some electronic cleaner and it worked great. No more stabilitrack and service brake system error.

Thank you for the video! I replaced the sensor already but got stuck because I had no idea where the spacers fell out of! Thanks for clarifying!

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!

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

Thanks for the video my friend right on, I just change the part on my friend’s silverado and you instructions were dead on.

Perfect -- problem solved on my 2012 GMC SIerra! Sheesh, those three torx 20's on the top of the bracket are quite the challenge! I spent a few dollars more and got the OEM sensor instead of the cheaper off-brand. This isn't something you would want to do twice.

I did this last night to my 2011 Silverado and it worked problem solved thanks

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.

Just finished with this project. This video was a HUGE help in the diagnostic process and also the install of the new sensor. Appreciate your help!

My Stabilitrak control light came on for a second time (no traction control it says). 2011 GMC SIERRA The same thing happened to my wife's 2012 Chevy Traverse 2 years ago. Before spending an arm and a leg I decided to check out a RU-vid video regarding the same problem, sure enough it ended up being a burnt out fuse. Thanks for this upload by the way.

Thorough and a big help. Thanks

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.

Exactly the video I needed. Just got the part today and after watching this I'm setup to fix the problem finally. Thx

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

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.

I get the same issues in my GM car which is a Saturn Aura. Has been reliable but lately that has been the issue with the 3.5 l engine that I have and unfortunately not many videos on that car particularly.

Appreciate any Help!!! Bought my 2007 Yukon XL with 73k miles on it. Its at 94k right now and this warning just came up. The part looks like it been replaced recently, pithing last few years. Could it be the same problem or something else??? I do have Tire sensor Service light but I'm not sure if it could be related...And my Steering Wheel has a bit of a move when in Park like almost something loose

The link for the part doesn't work, I'd love another so i can get this ball rolling! Thanks for the incredibly in depth video!

What DTCs was the scanner showing that led to the swp sensor being the concern?

Holy fuuuuuuuck I probably whatch about 50 fliping videos tha relate to traction control your fucking video is 51st thanks

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

Gonna try to do this my self after work don't look too hard let's try it out

Very good to know 👍

Wow "Thanks You" so much I just finished up!!!

Thanks i wish i had watched your video before bending at the dealership

I added a new ground from the firewall to the block (2009 Saturn Vue 2.4L Gasoline). It has been running well since I made the MOD, about a week ago, It started showing just last night, but I noticed that if I kept the Heat low blowing neutral temp, and positioned it toward the accelerator pedal, that I had NO “Stabilitrak” issue? I will now concentrate on the accelerator sensor as a probable “Fix”? Please add your comments regarding this problem!

Guys. Order a scanner and check the codes. I ordered a Foxwell 301scanner a few years back and it’s paid for itself. It saves you all the guessing and headache that comes with throwing parts at it...

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

Buen video mi gmc la tenia desconectada problema solucionado que me hiba a imaginar que era ese sensor es decir ni idea de el 😂

It’s only when it’s hot out and I have my foot on the brake when the Stabilitrak and ABS warning comes on. I also get the Hood Open warning at the same time.

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

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

I had this problem on my 2007 Tahoe I replaced my wheel hub bearing assembly because it was bad and bammm the stability track light came off . It could be about anything 😠

I have that issue on my 08 Silverado. How do you trouble shoot if it is the sensor on the column and not at the wheels. I am going to pull the rotors off to check for rust and sensor is not dirty at the wheels. Thank.

Wow it looks easy

Did you have to use a scanner to relearn the SAS once you were done?

I have a 2009 gmc sierra (67,000 miles) and i get this notification and a check brakes notification. My brakes are fine..i wonder if this fix will correct the brake light too?

Is this only if Stabilitrak and the ABS lights are on? My stabilitrak keeps going off like crazy.

Did you have to disconnect the yellow connector harness for the airbag?

My Tahoe shows the stabiltrack and service traction control and solid engine on dash I changed sparks coils and wires not sure where to go now it only shows up in cold wet weather any ideas please let me know thank you

I’m hoping this works. I had the error message a few months ago. I did spark plugs then it went away. Now it’s back.

Check your motor mounts also

Hey maní had these light come on did your truck run bad or did you just have the light on but truck ran good? Because I know it can also be the and sensors.

Could this work on a 08 Silverado

Got a 2007 Silverado 1500 new body I get the service tration control lights with rough idle kicks gears check engine light i use to turn the truck off a few minutes and try it again and it would work fine bud suddenly it never worked again like I said the rough idle traction control lights etc

What about if i am getting that message(stabilittrak) and its then turning off my truck when i try to turn, is it still the sensor? When i turn the truck on again it turns on with no problem and runs good any feedback? I am about to go do the diagnostic test at chevy bc idk if its just the sensor or something bigger.. just got this truck 2014 with 41k miles on it

Excellent

Did you get code related to this steering wheel position sensor?

My 2012 gmc sierra 1500 dt stabilitrak came on and would not turn off. I turned the wheel from side to side several times and it turned off. Hooray

Mine does this but mine also shows other messages my gauges will intermittently work and the door locks repetitively lock and unlock as well while it is giving me all the error codes last time it was a brake control module and the brake modulator or something that the Chevy dealership replaced under warranty it's a 2007 Tahoe LTZ and here I am a year-and-a-half later and it's acting up again and from my research it looks like it could be a hundred different damn things...ugh

Had service stabiltrack, abs light,emergency brake light and service brakes soon message and a rough idle It was my brake booster. Changed it myself and all lights went away

I have a 2016 gmc Sierra 2500. My abs and stability service light flash on and off. Is it possible that this could be the problem as well?

My 2017 aiverado just turned on today. I feel my ateering wheel pulls to the right. And not center . Qould this be the issue?

My boss has been fighting this issue forever with his 2010 to the point dealerships have given up on it. Its bad enough it randomly goes into limp mode and he has to take the battery cable off and hard reset it. I'm not sure if they've tried this yet. Anyone else have it this severe and this fixed it? Thanks

Is this the same qith the 2017 chevy silverado

Hello man I just changed that’s sensor on my truck because I as that problem but the ligth is still piping up as soon I move the steering wheel

Chances the 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 could also have this issue?

Thanks for the video. Did you actually get a code for that sensor? Or is there a way to confirm this is the part that needs replacing using a scanner?

I lifted my 2012 GMC and they didn't place the ABS sensor line back and it was rubbed by tire, exposing and cutting the wires, hence the dash lighting up... Check those too before changing stuff...

2015 silverado -- Stabilitrac and 4wd service flash, gauges go crazy have had it into Chevy dealer three times they cant find the problem. Have blamed it on aftermarket break for my trailer and aftermarket auto start. Have disconnected both and problem continues. This should be a recall and find the problem, they say it is not throwing a code. This last time the check engine light came on, bring back this week to see what they say now.

I have a 14 silverado and my abs and service stabilitrak just came on out of nowhere. All my brake system parts have been replaced and are new. Could me hard wiring in a 3rd brake light to my trailer package behind the bumper cause this if water, salt and other contaminants made it in to the soldiered connections? Thanks in advance!

My 2014 Chevy Silverado is cutting off and marking traction control and it won’t start until I reconnect the battery could it be this sensor z?

Is that the same thing with traction control?

I wost installing the stabilitrsck, in the process I los the spring position. What can i do to find te correct position?

I have the same problem on my 2014. It won't start but then if I jump it, it starts. solved with new battery even though nothing indicated the old was bad.

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

If the clock spring was gone then you would get a code for that also problem I'm having is I have zero codes for any of it but does show ABS fault and traction control fault but the lights only come on once in awhile if I shut the truck off and then back on and drive it they're off this didn't start happening until I change the front brake pads All four wheel speed sensors are reading perfect and the steering angle position is reading perfect

My service trailer light is also on with theas codes will it fix that tow

Troubleshooting….by what means or code popping? What direction to this item vice a rear wheel sensor? Just checking…

Is this the same process for a 2014 Sierra Denali?

I know a few buds that got different GM trucks with the same problem, I have 2011 Silverado 2500 hd I don’t have that problem

Does this work for Colorado's? I have a 2010 Colorado

Can you share a new link? This link doesn't work anymore. Also, I have a 2017 GMC Sierra that I'm getting the "Service Stabilitrak" and "Service Trailer Brake System" notifications. Do you think this would fix that too?

Is the part discontinued for older gmc trucks?

Thanks

This came on on my 09 sierra after a small collision once fixed at autobody it was still coming on, i took it back to them cus i felt my alignment wasnt right as it was shaking at high speeds once aligned light never came back up.

does the body computer control the stabilitrack or does it have its own computer? I have had three different sensors in mine, all auto salvage parts because you cannot buy new ones from gm any more. I have to keep clearing the codes to make my truck work right

What about just switching the sensor?

How many pins the sensor have my have 6 pins or cable on the conector and I can fine any where can you tell my where u gereth tanks

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

Mine did the same thing. Also was mine was putting out during cruise control then my check engine light came on as I was reaching 65 mph

I have the same problem stabilitrack light on and the wheels turned so hard and make my truck to turn off

khrist, how many damn sensors, already replaced throttle body, pedal, and cruise brake light sensor

Would this work on a 2008 Cadillac Escalade it gives me the same message and engine reduce power?

What codes were being sent?

Changed mine and still have the same lights on what else could it be?

would this work on my 2011 silverado 1500 LT

I have the same symptoms,but no ABS light only traction light and check engine light is on. And my transmission slams a little when coming to a complete stop,and rough idol at low speeds.

My 08 Avalanche is doing the Traction control ABS, Gauges fall and flicker and the power locks flicker. Would this be a fix for that or part of it?

Boy did i do that wrong 😂 i cut the shaft with a metabo and slipped it on and welded it back in place, Dam welders 🤦

2015 GMC Sierra with ABS and stabilitrack on, could this be the fix? I don’t see anyone commenting higher model than 2012 on here

My lights randomly go on and off. Does this piece cause a constant light on or random like I am having?
