Chevy Malibu with ABS light, ESC light, and SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL warning light. All these warning lights caused by one faulty wheel speed sensor. The speed sensor is located within the wheel bearing hub assembly.

Just fixed mine took me 2 months to diagnose and almost died on a 3 hrs trip yesterday before my mechanic spotted the issue. it was the Danm control arms and front driver wheel sensor. After installation lights went out didn’t even read code. Please do not ever ignore this traction light and abs light you can die. Especially on this makes of car.

Just did some digging, GM put out Special Coverage 15356 for the power steering sensor. However, since it is a special coverage and not a recall, the only way to see if it applies to your vehicle is by registering online. My car never had any symptoms until now and the coverage expired in 2021. I submitted a complaint to the NHTSA to make this into a recall so that people aren't paying out of pocket for something GM knows is faulty. If you have the same issue, please submit a complaint to the NHTSA. A quick google search will reveal the Special Coverage Instructions GM sent to all the dealerships 5 years ago.

Great video and way to teach your son at the same time! I have no idea how you got the hub off with a few taps after you got the axle nut off. I even rented a puller tool and mine is solid AF. Yes, I removed the three bolts. Going to have to pay a mechanic, but I gave it a shot thanks to your video. And where on earth did you find a 35mm socket? All the stores here had 32 then 36mm. Thankfully my 2010 LTZ was a 36mm.

I'm expecting to do the same with my RF wheel hub sometime soon. (I got a code C0040 once last May, so I won't be surprised.)

I have a 2007 Cobalt SS. I only get the service traction light on cold damp days. Does it after you’re still & locks on. No codes in body control module. Restart the car, all clears & may not do it again for another week or two. Never does it while moving. Hubs were replaced several months ago. Can it be a loose connector on the wheel sensor? Then if so, why does it throw a light only after you’ve stopped?

Thanks. Great video, with helpful tips and a quick diagnosis. Out of curiosity, what were the torque values on the main bearing nut, and on the two caliper mounting bracket bolts which attached that bracket to the steering knuckle. On some GM models, those torque values are very high. Thanks again.

Not on this particular style because the sensor and tone ring are sealed inside the hub assembly. Some other models would be affected by that as they have the tone ring and sensor external. Many have the tone ring mounted on the axle shaft.
