How to fix ABS light, Traction Control, Stabilitrak! Chevy Equinox AWD
There are several things that can cause the service stabilitrak error message. The scan tool was pointing to the right front wheel speed sensor. I knew I should be looking at the speed sensor so, I checked resistance on the old one and the new one, they were very similar leaving me to believe that maybe that wasn't the problem. Watch me throw parts at it and eventually fix it. As it turns out, It was a damaged wheel bearing.

So i fixed my problem: 1. ABS Light illuminated 2. Service Stabilitrak 3. Service Traction Control The fix: tire pressure was way to high (37 psi - correct amount is 30 psi cold tire pressure).... let some air out in all 4 tires to meet the correct psi and no more lights on dash. Just got the vehicle from 93 yr old grandfather who can't drive anymore. 2007 equinox LS 3.4 V6 with only 132,000 miles on it. Fixed for free!

@DCAutoEnhancement And I had someone close to me, freaking out thinking there was a major problem and wanting to call repair shop to make appt to diagnose and fix it.... I refused to do that (which could have cost hundreds in diagnosis, if the mechanic started testing speed sensors, abs pump, etc....) Sometimes the most basic, common sense checks can find the issue and save a ton of $$

Ok so there's a few of these videos and I'm probably going to comment on all trying to save people money. Change the wheel hub assembly only if it makes noise. The stabilitrak will act up because of the speed sensor. Part that costs $20 plus and can be changed in 20min. Wheel hub assembly plus labor will cost you over $300 for sure.

@DCAutoEnhancement Ай бұрын

I agree. In this video that is where I started. Ultimately it was the magnetic ring in the wheel bearing that was damaged requiring me to change the wheel bearing. If it is the rear speed sensor, they are built into the wheel bearing.

I personally don't trust aftermarket sensors. I've had way too many runs of bad luck with them. I've found a discarded service bulletin about the issue. Nevertheless, I've checked the wiring at the pigtail (not at the sensor). I've replaced the sensor itself. Next, I'm pulling the hub to inspect the tone ring since I've found out it's somewhat common for the tone ring to break. I'll be seeing my customer next weekend and I'm sure it'll be this

My father had this issue and brought it to a Chevy dealer who hooked the car up to their diagnostic computer ($150!)to see what the Stabiltrak message was all about. They said there was no issue and they did something so the light and the message went away....for about 3 days! When he went back to the dealer to tell them, they wanted another $150 to check again -- saying that it might be something else. He nb told them to SHOVE IT. Another mechanic told me that it is a known defect and that it is not a problem. Sometimes the light will go off by simply hitting the "Menu" button, but otherwise, it stays on and is annoying AF!

I used a scan tool that told me the speed sensor reading was abnormal and that came from the front right. It is pretty intuitive scan tool. If you are having trouble same issue as me, you may be able to visually inspect by turning the front wheels and looking. You will want to get a good look. If everything looks good, it could be the actual sensor. A stop at AutoZone, they may be able to tell you which one.

I’m having this issue on 11 gmc terrain. Was able to retrieve DTC related to RF wheel speed sensor. Inspected wiring and connections for RF wheel speed sensor, all okay. Removed sensor and inspected sensor and magnetic encoder ring on wheel hub, all okay. Cleaned sensor and encoder ring, reinstalled then cleaned out DTC’s. Took vehicle for a test drive. Message did not come back but when applying the brake pedal at parking lot speed pulsation was felt along with noise being emitted from under hood. No DTC’s triggered by the event. Was able to read live data from the electronic brake control module. Found on line graph that LR speed sensor signal was erratic. Inspected LR wheel speed sensor wiring and connections, all okay. Removed sensor and inspected reluctor ring, all okay. Went ahead and replaced LR wheel speed sensor due to erratic readings. Cleared DTC’s then took vehicle for another test drive. Service stabilitrack and ABS light did not return and when applying the brake pedal the pulsation was gone along with the under hood noise. I was delighted to the success and returned the car to the customer only to get a call shortly after that the lights have returned. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Since the cotter pin is steel the encoder ring did not release object. Also the tiny piece of cotter pin affected the clearance between the RF sensor and encoder ring causing a slight rub on the sensor. Was able to remove small piece of cotter pin from encoder ring and replaced sensor due to signs of rubbing. Cleared out DTC’s then took vehicle on a test drive, this time at highways speeds.

@@AngryUnionMan67 you may want to visually inspect the hubs from the back side. If you can see the magnetic ring on both hubs and they are in tact, it could be one of the sensors.

If you have a bad spark plug you will have a cylinder misfire code and if you have a bad 02 sensor you would have a code pointing to that. My scan tool told me that there was a speed sensor error.

The front ones you can visually inspect (assuming we are talking about the wheel bearings which is what that cause of mine was) the rears you cannot not. If you are speaking of the sensor itself you can disconnect it and check resistance.
