- Easy $5 dollar fix that solves the common stabilitrack and traction control, AWD system off issues on the GMC Acadia! Here is the link from amazon: ACDelco 25912943 GM Original Equipment Brake Pedal Position Sensor www.amazon.com...
Thanks so much! I just bought a used Acadia and freaked out when all the chimes started up with Stabilitrack and traction control. $20 at O'Reillys and about 10 minutes later, no chimes. Most appreciated!
These stories warm my heart. Thank you for taking the time to comment and please help us back with the subscribe! Have a great weekend!

Smashing that subscribe button, this just saved my marriage on a 700 mile road trip 🤣🤣
Haha I can relate, thanks for the sub and happy road trip!
1,100 miles here and boy I'm HOT 😂
Had issues with stabilitrack and traction control shutting off randomly. Said service both. Drove like shit when it did that and cruise control stopped workin. Break light would come on when not hitting breaks sometimes too. Saw this and pit one in, 25$ CAD from a dealership (only place I could get it right away). Fixed the problem after 10 minutes. Thanks for the vid! Worked like a charm on my 2016 acadia
Thanks for watching and please drop us the subscribe! So happy we were able to help you out :)
What is CAD I need one and can’t find piece
It did not work for me and my check engine light is now on
What is the part number for 07 Acadia? I can't find it
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.
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing your fix and please subscribe!
How did u do this I changed my sensor and its didn't fix it
@@paigeriddlehoover9726 ask your dealer for the brake pedal position part number, then install and hope it fits! You can bring that dealer part number to Oreillys or autozone for a similar/off brand part and it may/may not work. Good luck and thanks for watching!
@@paigeriddlehoover9726 I glued a small piece of plastic [ 1/16" thick and the same W and L as the small arm(s) on the sensor) to inside of the arm so that it moved it back deactivating the bake lights when the brake peddle was at rest.
@@gapperformance please where buy piece? Thanks
Thank you for the info! I repaired it in 5 minutes with an $8.00 part. You saved me some money!
Jimmy Rogers you’re welcome! Toss me a subscribe to support the channel :) glad so many are saving a dealer telling them they need a new transmission :)
Hi could you tell what is the name of this part
You're a lifesaver! That thing was driving me crazy! Thanks for the video!
Glad I could help! Help back with the sub :)
I need to try this, but one of the things I don't like to mess with is the beak system of my vehicle. I have a 2011 GMC Acadia I need to try this on its beach the light of stabilitrack traction is been going off for over 5 months now. I'm afraid to take it to the mechanic because it would take me a fortune. But now I got the trick. Thank you so much for this video bro.
Glad I could help! Help us back with the subscribe! Thanks for watching.
You're on the right track, however it is not the switch itself, but a poor mechanical design by GMC of the "throw tolorence" or "actuation tolorence" or "position tolorence" of the switch
when the pedal is released.
[my terminology, pick one, all three work]
The point is, that the switch needs another 1/8+ inch position movement (literally) to signal the brake is now off or now depressed.
I figured it out when people were telling me I was riding my brakes. I lifted my pedal barely at all with my foot and my brake lights turned off.
I removed the switch and added layers of tape to the inside of the "tuning fork arm" that now pushed the arm to the off position.
It's tricky, but it worked.
@@JPOwantstoknow65hmm 🧐 I may come back to you for help! 😂
@@DaisyOwusu-b3y
It's a pain in the ass but it worked. Just gotta build tape up on the arm of the brake sensor so that it turns the sensor into the off position.
Thank you so much for this video. The service light and my WIFE was about to drive me crazy.

Thanks to you it worked and I so appreciate you having this information available. Once again thank you
You’re welcome! Please help me back with the subscribe! :)
be warned that part listed does not fit a 2012 acadia denali, the connection is different and so is the number of pins. " GM part 22741943 " is the one that fit our truck
I appreciate the constructive comment! You are correct it does change in 2012+ models. I pinned your comment to the top so others can see the part #
Thank you 😌🙏🏾💯💯💯
Great video bro! I wish people made more videos this helpful and informative for other things lol.
That’s 100% why I do it, because I can find it 20 pages in on a forum and make it show up in an easy TH-cam/google search. Drop me the sub to help us out! :)
I have to go and check the codes on my 2011 Acadia tomorrow (just worked a 12 hr shift so didn't make it today) but fingers crossed this is the issue!
Thanks in advance either way
I got my 2014 Acadia from my bro last summer in 2022.
He had brought it to the dealer twice, and a family in-law once who knows his shit. The in-law would never screw him/us, didn't have an answer, however the dealership suggested a rebuilt transmission for who knows how much.
WOW!
Apparently the in-law has never heard of TH-cam, and the GMC dealership wishes it would go away forever.
These are the stories that make me do it. I’ve used TH-cam for tricks - I figured I had to contribute. Please subscribe to help me grow so I can keep the tricks going and the dealership scamming out of your life :)
@@gapperformance
Just one problem, it's not the correct part. Just got it today, installed it (very difficult to get under there) only to realize the wire harness is different.
Ugh
The 2014 is a generation newer I think. Call the dealer and ask for the part number for the brake pedal position sensor, then bring that number to Autozone/Oreillys to find the part number or cross reference it with Amazon. That’s how I found the sensor in the video.

I just order this part for my 2008 Arcadia. My traction control and stabilizer warning lights came on. It was running a bit rough. When I got home I notice the brake lights were staying on. The next day I started it up and had No warning lights, but the brake lights were still on. So I hope when I get this part it fixes my problems.
Fingers crossed it’s the easy fix! Thanks for watching and please subscribe to support the channel if it ends up helping you out!
@@gapperformance So that part did fix the problem. I was amazed that this cheap part fix the problems. Thanks for your info.

I have a 2014 Acadia. Traction control turns on and off by itself while driving and when that happens my Acadia wants to shut down but it only does it for like a second and continuous running. Can anyone help figure what the problem can be?? Thank you
Does anyone know a good place in New England were i can drive my Acadia off a damn Cliff?!?! I replaced this sensor few months ago and the problem started up again followed by the infamous headlight dying on me, followed by the A/c breaking on me, followed by cracking noises in my suspension even after i replaced the links and lower control arms, followed by oil leaks from every where. I need a cliff or a canyon location please and thank you
Haha born and raised New Hampshire! Old man on the mountain should work, I mean he fell down so the Acadia probably would too ;)
2012 GMC Acadia same issue, randomly loss of power service stabilitrac but is it Brake Pedal Position Sensor or Standard Stoplight Switch thanks
I sold my Acadia awhile back, but the brake pedal position sensor solved my issue
Hi I have a 2011 Acadia and on the display it's showing...SERVICE STABILTRAK,SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL,and TRACTIN CONTROL OFF..only them 3...do you think the switch you posted. Woul fix my problem?..thank you
It’s worth a try for sure! Make sure that switch fits your 2011. I always forget when the new body style transition happened
Okay I may try and will give feedback..thank you
Any update? Did you fix it?
Update?
3 years ago so I doubt they’re going to answer. It’s a cheap option to try! :)
How did you diagnose that this was the actual failed component?
I couldn’t go over 30 mph on the highway and the trans was shifting randomly and without any input. Swapped this out and all the issues went away. I was inspired to try when the dealer lied and said I needed a transmission.
Mine when I go past 50mph the abs light and the traction control light come on no check engine and on the message center it said service stabilitrack and another that said service traction control off will this fix the problem
Mine is gmc acadia 2014
It might
Having the same problem after 15-20 minutes driving the stabilitrak and traction control say to service both. Just bought this part hoping and praying it's my fix for my 14 Acadia because it runs fine until both service stabilitrak and service tc come on then it seems like it has trouble accelerating like if the transmission is going out but no check engine light comes on. Will update if it fixes my issue as well.
Did that solve the issue? My son is having a similar issue with his 2015 Acadia
@@CarlosVargas-xb9pf unfortunately not it did seem to help a bit it took a little longer on today's drive for both stabilitrak and tc to come on. It's worth a try the part was only 16.99.
Thank you
Was your steering wheel hard when you turn asking becuase I have traction control ABS nd brake light on ?
Honestly the car was freaking out so bad on the highway I was more worried about it stalling - can’t remember if the steering was heavy. Sorry!
Thanks for the video..had the same issue and got it fixed
Carlos Rodriguez thanks for watching! Hit me up with a subscribe ;) thanks!
How i changed this part and it didn't fix my problem
When you fixed the sensor, did you have to reset the battery? If so, how do you do that
I did not have to reset the battery, but I did go to autozone to do a quick code clear out just to see if any other problems remained. If you need to hard reset just pull the battery for a night and it should dump and short-term memory
Thanks for watching and please reward us with a subscribe If it helps you out :)
I have a 2012 GMC Acadia. Will this work for it as well. Amazon says wrong part for this year.
The part is most likely wrong, but if you call your local GM dealer and ask for the brake pedal position sensor part number - you can use that number to find the part! Good luck!
Will this work on the 2016 GMC Arcadia?
I haven’t personally tried it on the newer models, but I would vs paying for a new transmission
Hello I have a 2008 GMC Acadia that has the same lights come on. When Im about to break it kinda stalls on me. Kinda like a harsh break ? I switched the sensor but the lights are still on their and it still pulls on me when I'm about to break. Did you reset the battery after you replaced the sensor ?
I also had the brake stalling going on, but for me it was simple sensor swap out. There is a small possibility the replacement sensor could be faulty. I’ve purchased off brand sensors for my focus that “fit” and didn’t work. Once I obtained another sensor all my problems went away. I’d try one more. I never had to reset the battery I just erased the code off after swapping the sensor and it never came back.
Hey there, I was getting ready to purchase it, but it says it doesn’t fit my Acadia 2017??
I put in the part as shown for my 2009 Acadia. Not sure if it’ll be the same fix - but it’s a “brake pedal position sensor.” Give Oreillys or Autozone a try and they should be able to help out. If you’re still under warranty give the dealer a call for sure. Sorry I can’t help more! Good luck!
I sure will! Thank you!
I have my Acadia 2008 and it's does the same. I did buy the sensor. And still does the same and the light came back. Any advice. Thank you
You can always try an Oem sensor from GM to see if maybe you got a dud. Other than that I don’t know a best option. It could be the wiring to the plug has a frayed wire or something as well. Or the plug is dirty and isn’t making a good connection.
Here's why...
You're on the right track, however it is not the switch itself, but a poor mechanical design by GMC of the "throw tolorence" or "actuation tolorence" or "position tolorence" of the switch

It's tricky, but it worked.
It should be recalled for this mess, too many ppl with the same issues and the front light always goes out smh
passenger been out for years..they want 350$ to fix lol
I'm having the same two issues! Ugh
I’m having that problem now with both
TH-cam how to change it, I did my front headlight took me only ten minutes, turn your tires in and in front of your tires there is a black covering with little screws in it, you need to unscrew it and then stick your hand underneath and feel for a black top to untwist and you will be inside the headlight, unscrew the headlight and replace the bulb, my dealer tried to charge me almost $500 saying they have to remove the vehicle front bumper, lies!!! I went to my nearest auto store to get the particular tool to remove the screws in front of the wheels by the way
Did you need to recalibrate the sensor after you replaced the part? How did you do it?
No recalibration needed!
Heyy bro my Acadia denali has the same issue it says traction off and service stabilitrack... we were on the highway way and the cruise control wasn't working is the issue related to it?.. and also my brake light won't go off even if I leave the brake paddle will this fix it?? Thanks again
It sure sounds the same. My cruise also wouldn’t work and to be honest I never checked the brake light - but these brake pedal position sensors will cause all those issues
Thanks!
Thank you so much! Glad I could help!
Good video thanks I’m going to try it!
Mine is a 2011 gmc acadia.. service stablitrak, traction control light comes on, reduced engine power, traction control off codes keep showing up on dash.. no break light issues like what others in the comments have... sometimes the vehicle won't go. I have to pull over turn engine off back on just to get going again at decent speed... The engine makes noise an kinda shakes when it goes into limo mode... What do yal think? Try this part orrr???
For less than $10 I’d definitely give it a try before giving up. I hope it works for you! Usually after this it’s the wave plate in the transmission which they can’t really fix (won’t fix) internally.
I have the same problem... have you been able to get it fixed?
@@airjock40 this sensor fixed my issue
Did it work for you ?because mine started doing that same thing .
@@cesareorodriguez6934 mine needed a new throttle body... It got fixed quite a while ago, my mechanic put it on the code reader and that's the code that popped up.. he fixed it and I haven't had a problem since
I changed mine in my GMC Acadia the traction control light still come on
Does this work for a 2017???
When the service stabiletrak light and service traction control light came on did your check engine light blink? My car starts running really crappy when they pop up
kory ballentine yes it came up as well and the car started running really bad - which made me think it was an actual transmission failure. But it was actually a safety limp mode that the brake pedal position sensor fixed
@@gapperformance thank you i just ordered it for my car.
kory ballentine I hope it fixes it for you! Fingers crossed 🤞
@@gapperformance what year was your acadia?
@@gapperformance what do you mean by "running really bad" can you be more specific?
Replaced mine when we first started having issues, never completely fixed the issue, had ot happen many many times over the last year but just recently it happens every time we turn on the vehicle but only has the power loss issue when over 35mph. Have had it in shop multiple times, they can't figure out the issue and code reader doesn't show any codes even though abs light is on

Best bet would be to ask the dealer for the “part number” and then use that to cross reference online and/or Autozone or Oreillys might have it for cheap. They do vary for model year
So i put my 2012 acadia in park nd the the traction control nd stabilitrack codes came up on my dash then my rmps while driving was going up as i was braking and in park and when in idle position at a red light it would do the same thing im going to change the switch out hope that fixes my problem
So what happened?
So unplug a bunch of stuff reset a main hose nd my acadia is running like a champ figured out my traction control button is broke but i have traction control check engine light is off nd im not worried about it
Hi! Watched your video and ordered the part...my question to you is were you brake lights staying on???
Hi Jennifer, check the interruptor of the stop light just behind the brake pedal. That could be the reason the light stay on! Try this!
What's the part number? Maybe I missed it
Yes it’s in the description of the video. If you can’t find it on Amazon, call your local dealer and ask them or try Oreillys with the dealer part number to see if they stock it
Tha k you so much! Same issue 2012 terrain!!

Hi bro so my 2010 gmc acadia service traction control and traction control off came up while driving and when i did stop it wouldn't move at all i just turn it off anf and on and the service light when off, what exactly did yours did before you replaced the brake pedal sensor
juan j belmonte lopez mine kept driving but didn’t want to start the next day. Intermittent and weird for sure. I never had an issue after replacing the sensor, but these transmissions are known to have issues internally as well. For $5 I’d try and see where it gets you. Good luck!

Hi, will this part work on a 2018 as well?
This specific part number might not, but you can search for “brake pedal position sensors” and find one that fits your 2018. Try calling the dealership to get a “part number” for it and then search google with that part number
Hi, after you change the brake sensor. Do you have to reset the battery?
No, you either hook up a $900 fancy scantool with GM subscription to initiate a BPPS reset,
or you just drive it for a week and it will self-calibrate. Maybe up to 10 days, but after 20 driving cycles, the vehcile
will work perfectly again.
No, don't do that.

Did you disconnect the battery before changing the sensor? or you do not need to do it ?
I did not disconnect the battery, but if you swap the sensor and disconnect the battery for an hour, it should help clear the codes. Thanks for watching and please help us back with the subscribe!
I replaced the sensor and didn't resolve my problem doesn't true
I’m sorry it didn’t fix your issue. Based on the comments this fix definitely works quite often and is worth the cheap cost of a sensor to find out.
did it solve the problem?
freethinker52 yes all the errors went away, it’s been a couple months and none of the issues have come back, thanks for watching and please subscribe!
i just changed this sensor today after watching this and i took it for a good drive and the light did not come on and i went for another drive later and the stabilitrack light came back up again. any ideas on why?
wavytdawg check the connection and maybe clean it out with some electronics cleaner and then put some dialectic grease in. I would start with the assumption the connection is the issue and if it’s not it’s possible you have bigger issues. Hope that helps!
Are your brake lights staying on with the stabilitrack/traction control service message?

I changed mines but the Stabilitrack error still shows i removed battery cables and the error comes every time I release the break at a stop light GMC Arcadia 2017
Hub/wheel sensor bad?
Hello I got the same exact issues stability track light just shows in any stop with the suv once I release the break show that stability track for a sec then gone so how do you fix it ? Could tell me please
Once you replaced the brake pedal position sensor did the service traction control light go out and stuff or did you have to drive it so many miles? I just replaced my bps and the service warning is still in the driver info center.
Lawrence Boggs I believe I removed the battery overnight to reset the ecu and bleed off any other components that might hold a code. I remember starting it and driving it down the block and all the codes were gone. Can’t remember the specifics though to be honest
Mine doing the same
Would this work for my gmc acadia 2013 denali?
It might work, I believe the part # is different. Call your dealer and ask for the part number and give it a google. Either way a cheap and easy fix if it does work :)
So this part will work for a 2008?
It should yes, I’ve been told the specific part number is no longer available. But go to any auto parts store and ask for a “brake pedal position sensor.” Should be too expensive but at a minimum they can give you a part number to research online if it’s too expensive. Thanks for watching and please subscribe! :)
Is this a brake or throttle sensor?
Brake position sensor. If it helps drop me a subscribe! Thanks!
What’s the part called I need to try this
The brake pedal position sensor. The dealer should have the newest part number, use that part number to cross reference at Oreillys, autozone, etc to find a cheaper part. Although I’ve had better luck with OEM sensors traditionally
I am also having this issue however I get a notification for 4 wheel drive turned off as well. Going to order the part... just curious as to if you or anyone here has all three lights
I believe my awd showed an error as well (since it feeds from stabilitrak and traction control inputs) but I can’t remember. I just said what I remembered seeing.
Does anybody know the part number and the actual name to the sensor is
GM Brake pedal position sensor. Any internet search should give you a part number. Advance auto parts #25912943 appears to be a good one. I called a Chevy dealer to get the part number and then googled it and found it for way cheaper when I originally made this video. Thanks for watching and please subscribe to help us back :)

Xx ItzMeBrayden xX I cant remember to be honest, but it’s a cheap and easy place to start before paying the dealer an arm and a leg to tell you it’s a bad transmission.

I was told I needed to replaced the brake pedal bushing on mine after I replaced that. My brake pedal moves all over the place.
If your pedal moves then that would make sense. I had no pedal movement and never replaced mine. Should be an easy bushing to change out, but make sure a whole pedal assembly isn’t $10 more

Anthony Simons ACDelco 25912943 GM Original Equipment Brake Pedal Position Sensor www.amazon.com/dp/B0049HMQMA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_jd3fEb2V1A9RE
Didn't work on mine
... neither did mass air flow sensor, neither did throttle body.. vids aren't helping me at all
Sorry! It could be the transmission if none of the quick fixes are working out.
I have the same issue. I’m tired of this
My 2008 does the traction control off, service stabilitrak, and as it does that the transmission gets locked in "fail safe mode" would it be my traction control system or this brake pedal fix?
I can’t guarantee it will, but for a few bucks and 20 mins of your time I’d definitely give it a shot
What code showed up when this went out
Stabilitrack off, traction control off, and AWD off. Thanks for watching and please subscribe if helps!
Also the next item to be responsible for these issues would be a wheel speed sensor, which cannot be detected with a simple code reader - typically need one more advanced.
Tanks tanks 👍👍👍👍👍
No problem! Please subscribe and thank you for watching :)
Replaced mine and still having issues
I’m sorry to hear that! It doesn’t work for everyone but definitely a cheap try vs believing the dealer diagnostic
You're on the right track, however it is not the switch itself, but a poor mechanical design by GMC of the "throw tolorence" or "actuation tolorence" or "position tolorence" of the switch
when the pedal is released.
[my terminology, pick one, all three work]
The point is, that the switch needs another 1/8+ inch position movement (literally) to signal the brake is now off or now depressed.
I figured it out when people were telling me I was riding my brakes. I lifted my pedal barely at all with my foot and my brake lights turned off.
I removed the switch and added layers of tape to the inside of the "tuning fork arm" that now pushed the arm to the off position.
It's tricky, but it worked. And my back is better after a week or so.
Where is the link for purchase on Amazon or other store?
wings it’s in the description of the video :) thanks for watching!
Traction control light on will not shut off car will not go over 40 M miles
Try this
What were the symptoms????
Didn’t work for me. Still have the issue.
Sorry to hear it! Hope it’s not too expensive
This doesnt work on the 12 ACADIA denali
I wouldn’t expect it to since the 2012 is a new generation (“more reliable”) with an entirely different setup. I wish it did though! Cheap fixes are the best :)
Short video Men i dont see is fixed
ALFA LOZANO all the lights went away and awd has worked for a year since
This doesn’t solve it I had the same issue and swapped it out with the part and the problem is still there. Just take it to a dealer.
If the transmission wave plate is bad this will not solve your problem, but based off my comments it’s solves the problems more often than not. Thanks for watching and sorry this fix didn’t work for you. Best of wishes getting it fixed!
@@gapperformance *throttle bottle
Now my brake light stays on while driving
That’s weird! Maybe you received a defective part
If I move my brake pedal towards me it goes off, but one I release it the light comes on, it has play in the pedal I see
Another video said it was the steering wheel position sensor so what is it really like this is bs every vid I watch these guys are telling a different story
If you read the comments you’ll see that it helped a ton of people and some people had a truly bad transmission. To me it’s worth $20 here and there to try some sensors on the cheap. If they don’t solve the problem then you eat the big ticket and know you tried. Multiple sensors play into this system so it’s likely they are all accurate and no one is scamming you lol
It didn't solve the problem, and I injured my back twice.
On to the next fix.
Gotta get those little youngsters to do it for you! Sorry it didn’t work out!

My wifes shows this and it makes her car miss
didnt work for me😭
What year is your Acadia? And did you have all the lights or just one?
Eric your video is incomplete no one knows if what you did worked. Do better next time
Oh sorry for the confusion sir! I only made the video because it worked. I wouldn’t make videos to fix issues if they didn’t work. I’ll try to improve enough to earn your subscription. Thanks so much for your comment!
Is anyone in the Blessing business? I need this bad!
$tassypoopoo 🙏🏾
Swap out was easy enough. Sadly didn't fix the problem.
So what was the problem? I’m having issues now on my 2014. Just put new sensor on n lights on still. So leaving battery off over night n it reads no codes either.
@@jessicafox7642 mine was the plastic connector that went to the switch, and not the switch itself. I hope you fix it !
Worst vehicle in history.
I think the Ford pinto with the exploding gas tank in a rear-end accident would be the highest for me, but I see why one would think so! Thanks for watching and please subscribe! :)
First do the alignment after do that, that is not the real problem most of the time...
What would you be aligning? A regular alignment won’t fix this issue
Hey there, so I had both of these pop up and then trouble starting car. Did you have that happen to?
Josh Witherwax yeah the limp mode made it so I couldn’t restart it right after I got home. The next morning it started and the warning lights came back on and it went back into limp mode. It’s definitely not a guarantee fix but a cheap check before the dealer charges you for a new transmission. Hope that helps!
