Great video. Well explained and shot. A few noteable things not included in video. 1 The steering assembly/wheel will be completely free and it will help to have your seat moved forward enough to rest the wheel on while working. 2 Disconnect the plastic floor air tube and move it out of your way. 3 There is a black plastic cover on the original sensor that has 3 points that have to be popped to remove it from the sensor. Dont forget to put it back on the new sensor once you install it. 4 The 2 black metal spacers are for the back 2 mounting studs. There are none on the front 2 studs.

Thanks Aaron for this video! I was getting the Service Stabilitrac Error for over a month and ordered the AC Delco part from RockAuto. It's been hit and miss weather with intermittent snow and showers too so everything sort of had to line up. I did initially try Euresko's idea below from GM service bulletin PI0639a to clean the plugs at the connection to the steering sensor and then use short strips of electricians tape to build up the inside of the switch to take away excess movement - and it even seemed to help. I backed my Sierra up about 10ft before the error chimed when before it seemed to happen within a couple of feet of moving. So I sucked it up and started taking things apart as per your video. I found for the 4 x 15mm nuts that a long 3/8" extension with a 5/8" sparkplug socket worked great to get them off. The bottom two 15mm nuts used a swivel to help with the angles too. One thing that I don't think your video emphasized was that the shifting cable that loops right near the bottom of the steering column in the cab needs to be tucked into that wire cage attached to the retainer that keeps the steering position switch in place on the column. Initially mine wasn't and I had to remove the column bolt and loosen the four 15mm nuts to give enough movement for me to get the cable into the cage. As far as taping the wheel goes I used painters tape, duct tape and hockey tape. I was afraid I'd accidentally grab the wheel to help me adjust my position so I made sure it wasn't going to move. So finally after getting it all together and attaching the negative battery terminal I gave it a try. And NO MORE ERROR! It made my week. Possibly my month.

This is a great video. I just wanted to add... On a 2014 suburban you don't need to rotate the column to access the torx bolts on the top of the column. Just rest the steering wheel on the seat and you can get both hands down between the column and the instrument cluster with plenty of room for a ratchet. Also, the sensor has a black cover on the back which helps hold it from sliding down the column. Don't forget to put it back.
@billdempsey74772 жыл бұрын
I second these comments. I just finished mine and found the same thing A W says. Also the little spacers which go on the rear don't fall out when you bring the column down onto the seat. I used a dab of white grease to "stick" them back up on the upper side when re-assembling. Also, steering shaft will slide out with the column hanging off the studs so I hung the steering assembly up with two nuts and then slid the steering shaft back up from there. My total time was right at 1hr 45 min start to finish. Thanks for the helpful video!

@erieflooring20454 жыл бұрын
Hats off to Aaron Hines. I just did this fix on a 2007 Express Van. Not sure if any of this knowledge appears elsewhere. Let me share my info because it is fresh in my mind. I have an extensive background in data acquisition design. I am not a know-it-all and I'm not here to show you how frigging smart I am. I am grateful to people like Aaron and also my friend Steve who runs a repair shop in Dover, NH. This sensor is very delicate and complicated. Before I start getting techy, DO NOT REMOVE THE CENTERING PIN until the right time. The purpose of this sensor is to help the ECM (main brain,) compensate for the fact that wheels turn at different speeds when you are cornering. The traction control and the ABS module work together. Wheel speed sensors tell the ECM how fast each wheel is spinning. The steering wheel angle sensor tells the ECM what angle the steering wheel is, whether you are going straight, turning left or right. If you are turning to the right, the outside wheels (on the left) are going to spin faster, assuming you are on dry pavement. If you are turning to the left, the outside wheels are now on the right, and they are going to be spinning faster on dry pavement. The job of the ABS module is to apply more or less pressure to the brake calipers to keep the vehicle moving safely forward. This helps when any one of the wheels is moving faster or slower than it would be on dry pavement. So, for example, if you're driving along and hit the brakes just as you cross an ice patch, the wheel speed sensors tell the ABS module that suddenly one of your wheels (the one on the ice) has come to a stop while the other wheels are still turning. The ECM is getting data from both the wheel speed sensors and the steering wheel angle sensor. If one or more of your wheel speed sensors is malfunctioning, then the ECM is receiving garbage data. This is why the ECM will turn on the ABS light if the data from the wheel speed sensors doesn't make sense or is inconsistent. If your steering wheel angle sensor is sending data that is unreliabled (such as, the data says you went lock to lock in 1/10th of a second, this is impossible.) In many suspicious cases, the ABS and/or traction control modules shut down and this is when the dash lights come on. What the computer does is to check data during the first minute or so while you are driving. If any of the data seems impossible, the ABS and/or traction control functions are simply turned off, which is what the dash warning lights are telling you. ====== In a nutshell, that's how the ABS and traction control work. There is a lot of overlap between the two systems and a lot of the work that goes into operating each module is very intelligent guesswork. There is a checklist, kind of like: o If one of the wheel speed sensors is delivering erroneous data, then shut down the ABS, because its computer can't make educated decisions is data is missing. o If the steering wheel angle sensor is delivering bad data, shut down the ABS and the traction control, because if the computer can't calculate anticipated data (it can't compensate for turning speeds if the steering wheel angle is unknown,) it cannot correctly perform traction control. ----------- The steering wheel angle sensor does not record any data. It simply reports to the ECM that you turned left or turned right, and it also reports how quickly you turned the steering wheel. That's it. However, the ECM keeps a record of your last setting in RAM. Think about it like this. You parked your car and the wheels were at an angle, so the next time you start the car, it uses this last position to calculate the next time you turn the wheel when the car is on. If you replace the sensor, you need to erase this, "last time used," data. You can do this by either disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes or erasing ECM RAM with an OBDII tool. ====== What does the centering wire do? The one that says don't remove unless you absolutely sure. At the factory, there are three geared wheels inside the sensor that are precisely alighned and then the wired is inserted to keep them in that position until the part is inserted. If you remove the wire and then disturb the wheels, you have little to no chance of ever getting it back to the factory position. This is because the wire has to go through the back of the case, through the high speed sensor wheel, through the low speed sensor wheel and then into a stop in the bottom of the case. FOUR things have to be aligned, and you can't see any of them. Even worse, the reduction gears are not set to some simple reduction ratio such as 4:1, etc, but to some weird 11.3:1 ratio. We tested this by disassembling a unit, marking all three of the gears inside and testing it by hand. It's hard to the align the gears even if you have the unit opened up. ----- So, follow Aaron's instructions. Be careful to sort of do it in this order. 1. Disconnect battery. 2. Disconnect steering column as he shows. Disassembly is similar between vans, SUVs, trucks. 3. Clear all the codes in the ECM with an OBDII scanner. If you don't the ECM will use the last setting from the bad sensor that you removed and you will go an a wild goose chase. In this case, the ECM doesn't know the sensor was replaced. 4. Install the new sensor and then turn the car back on. MOST IMPORTANTLY: Tape the steering wheel as Aaron says and don't remove the pin until after you have reset the data in the ECM either by disconnecting the battery or using the OBDII sensor. Hopefully I saved you time and money. We spent hours and hours and hours on this and eventually decided to figure it out for real and share the info.
@michaelotten63344 жыл бұрын
Wow, all that and you missed the accelerometer input, which is actually the data that is most frequently analyzed against the steering angle input (sensor). You don't need steering angle for traction control/ABS. You need steering versus lat/long acceleration to calculate slip/skid/stability i.e. Stabilitrak. THAT'S the system that tries to keep the vehicle on it's calculated trajectory. It will also bring you to a dead stop when trying to do donuts in the snow, even with your foot firmly pressing the accelerator to the floor...LOL

Just wanted to send you a note to thank you for this great video. I have had this issue on my 2013 Silverado for sometime and it had gotten worse to where the service stabilitrack and traction control were on all of the time. I did this by myself so here are a couple of suggestions that helped me. 1) Supporting the steering column with a strap ( as Cliff mentioned) helps to control the weight of the steering column 2) You may want to break the bolt free connecting the steering column to the intermediate shaft before you remove the 4 nits holding the steering column. 3) You can access the 3 torx screws from the top but make sore you push the bracket all the way up so the screw holes align since this is a blind assembly..

Just did the repair myself in about two hours time. The hardest part was undoing all the electrical connectors. My suggestion would be to have a wobble socket with an extension that is at least 8 inches long. Other suggestion is to lock the steering wheel. I also took a bunch of baling wire and secured the steering wheel to the shifting paddle, to keep it from rotating. No tape needed. A good light source is also a must. Last of all, I took the steering column completely out of the car. It was much easier that way. Then I was able to put the steering column on my kitchen table and have all the room in the world to actually remove the steering wheel sensor. Putting it back in, I suggest connecting the steering column to the steering buckle first: Otherwise you will not be able to connect it afterwards.

It only acts up in hot weather, Tech2 was not very helpful in troubleshooting. it would only monitor the position sensor and the phase c output of the sensor. I had to use an oscilloscope to figure it out. I guess I will just add this to the list of things to do when I service my truck next time.

Fantastic video! I'm glad to know what this sensor is and where it is located. I'm a bit to stove up and old to crawl around under the dash so the dealership will get $585 to fix my '13 Silverado.

Awesome video! I've used many KZfaq how to videos for my mechanic problems. This is video ranks at the top for quality. My sensor never "snapped in" during install, but it's staying in place. Test drove it and everything was fine. Thanks man

Good instructions appreciate the help this was exactly what was wrong with mine no more stability track light showing on the dash as well. Not too difficult more time consuming, would help to have a extra hand for sure to lift the steering wheel while you’re putting the back up the bolts back in with the two washers

Thank you excellent job. This made it a pretty simple fix. The biggest problem I had was putting the new sensor on was tight and a bit of a pain. One suggestion I have to those going to do this is break the torque on the steering column before you take the 4 nuts off. It will want to move around on you if you don’t. My wife came out while I was working. Her concern was is the tape going to leave a residue. No worries that I had the steering column flopping around it was tape residue.

Good video, my 2013 Denali has the telescopic steering column which concerned me. However, the power assembly moved along with the column once the four 15mm nuts were removed and I reached thru the gap between column and instrument cluster to remove the three T25 bolts off that lower metal bracket. All other steps followed to the letter. I eased the steering column and taped wheel down to the edge of driver's seat. To reset, I disconnected positive cable, reconnected and used code scanner to clear codes. It still took starting and turning the wheel slightly to make the dash warning light go out. All has been fine since (1.5 hours with hand tools).
