Welcome to the club 😂
I got one for $99. Don't try to lowball me, I know what I got. LOL
Lol
Never can 😂
check your bass fishing tackle box.
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.
Yep I spend 490 bucks I am so dumb to take the dealership and trust them it still flashes service and disabled track and stability then randomly back on and off for years now
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.
Absolutely
This video made that job go the easiest that I have ever done he explains it prefect all I can say is thank you
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.
tackling this project soon. my issue is completely backwards from yours , mine acts up when temps are below 50°? ongoing issue for about 3 years now. Hope this stops it. thanks for the very intuitive video
@@dustin00371 did this work for you? Mine also only acts up in the fall/winter months. Did you get a tranny slipping feeling after the lights come on between idle and 1st? They seem to temporarily go away if turn off the engine for a couple minutes
I have the same problem. Good in the morning but turns on in the afternoon. Annoying!
I have a 2019 RST that's having a similar issue and sounds like this might be my problem. Thanks for making this video.
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.
It don't worked, the real problem is the Throttle body..
@@zaino660 T/B causing traction control and StabiliTrak lights?
Throttle body? Please explain?
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!

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
How did u exactly secure the steering wheel? I have to do this.
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!
Absolutely
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.
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!
Hey I got the same issue, ABS and stabilitrak and traction control come on either in rain, or when i come to a stop but only comes on sometimes, sometimes it doesn’t come on at all. I was gonna replace the input sensors first, but after ready this i’m gonna do what was said in this video, this comments helped me a lot so i’m basically thanking you because our issue is exactly the same and now i’ve diagnosed it, hopefully it fixes my staibiltrak problem. it’s a 2010 silverado btw, thanks!
also do u think i should replace sensors first?
Hi. I have similar symptoms on my 2008 gmc sierra. However, it also feel like the back breaks are "sticking" after leaving a stop. I recently had the front brakes and rear breaks replaced about a month ago.
My question is,
did your truck feel like the brakes were sticking as well when those abs, stable track control lights went on?
@@3gchapa no brakes issue..it was the brake switch for me.
@@tdmmcl1532 ah ok thanks for letting me know. Appreciate it.
I did this last night to my 2011 Silverado and it worked problem solved thanks
My 08 Yukon had same issue. It was the brake light switch sensor that I replaced that fixed it.
Did you have to do anything special to reset the lights or just drive it and let it reset itself ??
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.
How much was the oem one , compared to the aftermarket one?
@@rickyocampo18 I paid $64 for oem vs $50
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
What DTCs was the scanner showing that led to the swp sensor being the concern?
Thanks for the video my friend right on, I just change the part on my friend’s silverado and you instructions were dead on.
Thorough and a big help. Thanks
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
Exactly the video I needed. Just got the part today and after watching this I'm setup to fix the problem finally. Thx
Update
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.
@@kingbreather1982 ground wire on what?
Yea I just replaced mine and I got the same reading
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 TH-cam video regarding the same problem, sure enough it ended up being a burnt out fuse.
Thanks for this upload by the way.
Which fuse was it
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!
Did you have to use a scanner to relearn the SAS once you were done?
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.
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.
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.
Did you have to disconnect the yellow connector harness for the airbag?
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.
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 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?
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.
So how can I determine which is bad, the postion sensor or the brake light switch.
Could this work on a 08 Silverado
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
Did you get code related to this steering wheel position sensor?
Is this only if Stabilitrak and the ABS lights are on? My stabilitrak keeps going off like crazy.
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
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.
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!
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?
Thanks i wish i had watched your video before bending at the dealership
Gonna try to do this my self after work don't look too hard let's try it out
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
Dustin King this almost ends up being a frade/dirty abs sensor or harness! Clean magnetic part on sensor clean abs ring in the Midwest we get build up from salt so it’s frugal out here! When turning and kicks on !
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
My 2017 aiverado just turned on today. I feel my ateering wheel pulls to the right. And not center . Qould this be the issue?
Is that the same thing with traction control?
Is this the same qith the 2017 chevy silverado
Chances the 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 could also have this issue?
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
Very good to know 👍
My service trailer light is also on with theas codes will it fix that tow
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?
I wost installing the stabilitrsck, in the process I los the spring position. What can i do to find te correct position?
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
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!
I have been told that if you didn't connect the wires on your rotors properly that could be the issue. I am having a similar issue. TC and ABS pop up when I come to a stop or park.
@@Crison360 mine is continuous. On all the time. And i have just noticed a pop in the front end when ever I drive on un even surface. Like something is catching. But not all the time. I almost wonder if it is the wheel bearing. While they are new, still could be the problem. Not much else I could think of that could throw the lights up.
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.
Does this work for Colorado's? I have a 2010 Colorado
Is this the same process for a 2014 Sierra Denali?
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
Is the part discontinued for older gmc trucks?
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
now show me how to do pin
I want to see it too. I have to change the sensor.
I think he is talking about the one that locks ( sometimes ) when you turn the key off , but most dont work that good
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 😠
Prince-ab Luna that is what im going thru right now. My wheel hub needs to be replaced and i have the stabilitrak light on
Did yours throw a code or was the bearing loose?
J P no codes!! Jack it up turn by hand if it grinds replace also shake wheel if any give replace! If you hear roaring noise like it’s on 4by4 replace it, also replace in pairs and replace harness too!!moog comes with harness!
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
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
David Rossiter sensor is under driver seat!! But STOP!!! These cars are full of sensors that cuase a chain reaction!! Mechanics often chase their own tail with scanner chasing codes!!! Start simple! Top off fluids! 2. Replace air filter if dirty. 3. Replace/regap spark plugs if not too far gone!.4. Throw in some very strong fuel injector cleaner as you may have s clogged fuel injector!! Note!! Fuald plugs will most likely be the 1,3,5,7 banks!! I used 1 gallon of laquar thinner and a bottle of Lucas fuel injector cleaner with 10 gallons of fuel!! Ran it till empty! Lots of these fuels now have ethanol so build up is happening! Also take car to a reputable shop like firestone and have a tire rotation done it’s a cheap way to go as it comes with a free inspection, they will inspect your car and tell you if you have bad wheel hubs as that can also set it off!
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?
Troubleshooting….by what means or code popping? What direction to this item vice a rear wheel sensor? Just checking…
What about just switching the sensor?
Holy fuuuuuuuck I probably whatch about 50 fliping videos tha relate to traction control your fucking video is 51st thanks
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?
It doesn't come up on the sensor
Changed mine and still have the same lights on what else could it be?
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
Wow "Thanks You" so much I just finished up!!!

Everett what was it causing your truck to do and did it work
I have the traction light with the map code same fix?
Wow it looks easy
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
Or the brake light switch
Ah, I am getting Service Traction Control DIC message about 1 mile after driving when the start temp is between 30 and 40 degrees.. It went away when I had the brakes and rotors changed and the message came back after about a year later. I'm leaning toward the wheel speed sensors as the cause but which one is the question.
My front left tire acts funny at low speed turns, it feels sluggish like abs brakes in the winter, at the same time I get the warning light. Any ideas? It doesn't happen all the time.
@@timw8228 take a tester to the plug anything other than 0 ohms is bad test all 4
@@fucktheleftFJB sounds like the caliper is dragging and starting to nearly lock up. A caliper will drag like that then cause the pad to continue to make metal to metal contact and eventually ruin more things in the process.
Check your motor mounts also
My lights randomly go on and off. Does this piece cause a constant light on or random like I am having?
MooseKnuckle many things!!!! I always go the cheapest rout!!! Remove air filter, regap spark plugs throw some very good fuel injector cleaner in tank as it can be a clogged fuel injector fualing plugs!! But if start with just removing air filter if it’s dirty!! Replace if very dirty!
khrist, how many damn sensors, already replaced throttle body, pedal, and cruise brake light sensor
What codes were being sent?
So I have this problem currently and wanna try this. But there's a clicking sound that sounds like it's coming from the engine and while driving it also has a hard time getting into gear when accelerating. I have a hard time believing that's just from a steering wheel sensor. Is that really it or is there something else going on as well?
Did you ever fix
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...
Buen video mi gmc la tenia desconectada problema solucionado que me hiba a imaginar que era ese sensor es decir ni idea de el 😂
Same directions for a 2014 sierra?
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.
Mine shakes and now the stabilitrak is on
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
Did you get some kind of code that directed you to this sensor?
C0455 and/or C0710 indicate a bad steering angle sensor.
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?
Uly Yanez no, upgrade and check your main grounds, do the big three upgrade especially if you have installed aftermarket stereo system
Uly Yanez you fix it?
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
would this work on my 2011 silverado 1500 LT
Excellent
Would this work on a 2008 Cadillac Escalade it gives me the same message and engine reduce power?
Please Subscribe to our channel. Should work Sir.
Te funciono amigo
Your video is helping me a lot but it is hard for me to find the part do you know where you can get this specific product?
rockauto
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...
What happens if I don’t change this sensor. It seems to be driving normal
So does this solve the problem of the truck turning off in the middle of a turn?
I had this problem on my 2008 Silverado. It was the ignition switch. Got AC Delco.
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
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
How did you know it was the booster ?
Is it the same if stability and traction control stays or shows on?when mine does that it also says engine power reduce,,,
Miguel Angel
Sounds like a vacuum leak
Ariat_35 thanks for the tip I’m getting this also engine reduce power and service stabilitrack and when I’m driving It does it all of a sudden I can’t get it to go more than 5mph have to turn it off and wait about a minute and turn it back on and it works again I’m having this problem like 5-10 times a month
@@diablochorizero6586 same! Just now did you figure it out?
