Chevy Traverse: Won't Go Over 40mph ABS & Stability Light On
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- In this video I bring you along as I have a look at a Chevy Traverse that has a customer complaint that when she tries to pick up speed the ABS and traction control goes crazy. More than likely a failed magnetic ring on a wheel bearing but we still need to find out what one is the bad one. -Enjoy!

How bout them leaky shocks!
That was from mr.o spraying fluid film on the shocks 😂 lol jkjk
Stop showing tools first tool companies that aren't sponsoring you they don't deserve your free ad Astro should definitely sponsor you a lot. And Napa those cheap bastards I almost don't want to ever shop there again for as much free ads s*** you give them
Astro is the tunas fish, I've been sayin that for years.
Astro Not a sponsor.......
Also Astro using MR. O video on their Amazon page......
Remember viewers, if he can do it, we can watch him do it.
Hey now......
If you FluidFilm it, they will come off in 3 years.
if he can figure out how to fix it, we can watch him figuring it out for sure
😂😂😂😂
Best comment yet!
Hello again I just watch this video. I know you used a brass hammer on the end of axle but I would smashed the threads on the end. I was taught to put nut back on so you wouldn't have burred up threads.
He knows what he can get away with, comes with years of experience. This vehicle is past half life and the bolt he beat on is the least of any problems that will soon occur.
Just ordered the black SMA hoodie.
Call me old fashioned but I enjoy the rust and the crust videos!
16:19 Always enjoy seeing random comments on Ray's videos from you. I've wrenched in different states/countries in my Army days and then a few years in Michigan after separating from service. Love the way you both do videos and I especially enjoy seeing the different repairs on vehicles in vastly different conditions due to both locations. I can't do the job anymore (bad back/knees/wrists) but I still enjoy the jobs vicariously.
How do you choose which scan tool to use?
I literally just did one of these on a 2013 acadia. Same thing. Wheel bearing speed sensor fell off. Junk design.
Mine was all boogered up here in the salt belt of onterrible(Ontario) with the aluminum oxide.
Also at 15:45 you hear someone dropping off another Chevy!
Like those gloves.
Is the imagination station anywhere close to conjunction junction?
"The chubby rubber"? What's it got Stunt Man?
Classic dissimilar metal reaction, ie (corrosion) steel against aluminum and throw in some salt=a mess
So many SMA videos lately, I'm loving it. Love seeing you dig into these things. Thanks for bringing us along
Mr. O has seen all those videos from "those other guys" on TH-cam & figured he would join in. But hey, Eric, it's quality, not quantity we want! Your videos are always very informative & entertaining.
Not that I'm complainin'...
I just had a 2010 Traverse come into my shop with a similar yet different problem. Two other shops in town fired the parts cannon and the last shop was wanting to replace several modules (EBCM, ECM, TCM, and BCM), to the tune of several thousand dollars. Turns out the EBCM was causing part of the bus to go offline, making the ECM, TCM quit communicating. Wish I would have had the camera rolling so I could have done a wanna-be SMA video of the diag steps I took. Doing a powers and ground check at the EBCM connector, I found that one of the two grounds to the EBCM was good enough to light a test light, but not good enough to light up my "load bank" of halogen bulbs. Cleaned the eyelet for the ground, found and repaired the bad section of wire, and all the weird electrical gremlins went away. All done in about half an hour and I had an ecstatic customer. Thanks for being the inspiration to take on even more troubleshooting jobs than I already had been doing. You're the best!
Seems like auto repair shops need an electrical technician on hand to actually diagnose modern cars correctly
It sounds like my wife’s car is doing the exact same thing and there trying to charge us $4,000 for the transmission
I spent over 43 years in auto fixed ops repairs and I admire your diagnostic skills and common sense approach to problem solving. Like we always said….you can’t fix it unless you know what broke. Your delivery and personality is what keeps me coming back. You have a fan…..keep up the great work. Always look forward to your next video. Plus we don’t have your rust and crust for the most part here in Florida which makes your videos appealing.
Watching from California, I can't stop watching the rust battles myself LOL. I don't even own a torch!
@@BillinSD how do you not even have a torch!? That's probably my #1 used tool in northern Minnesota
@@cheesecurd100s I borrowed one once a few years ago..... I am not a professional mechanic, mostly brake jobs and suspension work. California is easy on cars unless you park at the beach every day and even then.....
Watching from Plymouth in the UK
The UK? I love Jags and have several.
Who knew Chevy would put your kids through college
My grandfather was a GM master tech for over thirty years. First thing he taught me about working on cars: "All cars are garbage. One you learn that, everything else gets easier to manage."
Ab-so-lutely! It can be fun to be a fan of a certain car, or to give certain cars extra grief, but when it’s all said and done? Every damn one of them is junk.
Coming from vw beetle owner tat absolutely loves her car I can agree
that's because he worked on g.m.s
@@juanrodriguez-ry6yt I agree. There are different levels of junk. Gm is on the bottom. And they don't care.
According to the scan tool, you didn't come to a complete stop at that stop sign 😉😂
Keep up the good work, fella!
If you remember that in the last video Eric said don’t trust the scan tool data… therefore the data is up to interpretation. I’m sure Eric will interpret that as full stop.
The cars broken so can we really trust anything it’s telling us….
I remember running across a nut on a bush hog with 7000 ft lbs of torque until I figured out it was left handed thread!
🙄 I've never done such a thing.....
@@SouthMainAuto my first car was a 70 road runner, taking off the drivers side wheels the first time was a bugger! LOL
@@leftyo9589 Funny you mentioned that, i have a home made car dolly with a 60's dodge van solid axle, that i could never get the one wheel off, ended up cutting the tire off the wheel a couple times to change it, and finally put my 1" impact on it, broke 3 of the studs, and got the socket stuck on #4, put the impact in reverse, and ill be danged if the lug nut didn't come off. Bought all new passenger side studs after that fiasco, lol
I used to maintain a 1969 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow which had LH wheel nut threads on the left side. Had both front hubs off once to regrease the bearings, and got them mixed up when I refitted them. That caused some confusion (and cursing) when I tried to refit the wheels and realised what I had done (2 sets of brake calipers on each side to remove and refit as well to put it right).
LH threaded nuts/bolt heads should have a groove through all the points, half way up the hex. If they don't, it's probably import garbage and should be replaced because the grade mark can't be trusted either.
Thanks to you Eric O, I just replaced both front wheel bearings on my daughters 2003 Subaru outback. Took them to my work (I don't have a press) and pressed out the hub, pressed out the old bearings, installed new inner and outer seals, pressed in the new bearings, then pressed in the hub. It is a quiet as a church mouse now. Thank you so much for the tutorial, You are awesome!
HAVE YOE BEEN WATCHING STEVE ON SIMPLY DIAGNOSTICS ERIC O HAD HIM ON ONE OF HIS VIDEOS I THINK A WHATS UP WEDNESDAY
The day that the phone rings at SMA and Eric goes "Do-de-do-do-de-do", Rainman Ray will know that he has TRULY arrived :D
Ray has me doing it watching his videos even if he’s busy talking and doesn’t get to doing it
Needs to start saying "Gravity" when items fall....
Flashlight gravity lol
For me the sound of the pneumatic impact wrench struggling and then moving freely is the sound I associate most with the mechanic shop. From childhood.
That sound can usually be followed by whole bunch of cuss words if whatever is being impacted just broke! lol
I can attest to both of you....many times over! 😁
That pneumatic sound reminds me of the dentists office where I spent a lot of time as a kid.
@@richardbambenek2601 certainly the grinder does, after all Dentist uses something very similar. Just smaller
@@kevinbarry71 the guy installing my new kitchen cabinets was using an oscillating tool, told him the same thing.😁
So many years, so many videos your working commentary still cracks me up. Thanks Eric
Much love for Ray’s channel in Florida. Really solid person. He gets junk sometimes, because he works on cars that their owners are winter birds from New York. 😂
Learned so much for the episode.
21mm does work on an 18mm.
The lower bolts look like the top bolt. Just in a different spot.
Don't know how lived without those knowledge before
Magnet exposed to the elements!?
*What in the THUNDER could go wrong?!*
Whole vehicle exposed to the elements up that way and we've seen enough to understand what happens. (Eric needs a sunbelt working vacation. Work on cars that aren't rusted together/shot full of rusty flakes.)
@@LadyAnuB that really wouldn't be a vacation for him. He'd prefer hunting.
Whadda ya mean 3 hours labour? I saw the video, it only took half an hour! 😂
Thanks for going through the effort to adjust the camera angle so we can see all of the steps involved! Your videos are a great resource, for not only the methods of swapping out parts, but also the introduction of alot of unique tools. I appreciate the knowledge you share with us , and for making me more confident in making repairs on my car.
Keep the great content coming!
I thought the most iconic sound in a shop was the mechanics cussing or the sound of tools flying through the air and hitting something
Just a classic case of *hanging by the hose!* 😆 I don't know what is worse, the internet judges or having customers in the shop commenting on your work while you are working on their vehicle!
Keep up with the great work and videos. I just wish I had the time to do them myself and do them as well as you do. That is a nice family business you have there. Following you on your facebook page too!
Now is the time to keep doing what we've been doing, and that time is every day.
I'm glad there's someone else laughing at the Rain Man's struggles. He impressed me when he started torquing spark plugs. I made the mistake of commenting about it.
Actual “clicks”
@@RainmanRaysRepairs Ray , You are very entertaining and I am sure that the actual-clicks are more for the TH-cam audience and that you are quite capable of telling when a spark plug is tight enough.
@@RainmanRaysRepairs just have to say i feel the gravity of this reply
Thx Eric for Continue to be an inspiration and a source of excellent knowledge for us DIYers. I have learned many things from you and for that I am forever thankful 🙏 Always a learning experience watching your content
The sound of a screaming air ratchet or a an impact brings me back to my childhood just love that sound😁
you are helping make a star out of Rainman Ray. Between watching you two guys (and a few others, like Vice Grip, Sarah n Tune, and Lucky) I may never leave the house again
Just wondering how many people out there filled in the brake cleaner sound effects for you. That was like waving a beer in front of an alcoholic.
Congratulations to you and Mrs. O. on the trophies. Dad always said "never piss off a woman that can out shoot you".
Work don't bother me at all. I can watch Eric work all day and I never get tired.
I just bought the second version of the Astro Onyx Nano with 500lbs of torque and haven't used it yet but summers coming
I got one recently actually. Lemme tell. Mean little impact actually. Ran a wheel bearing in real easy😏
Awesome video Mr. O, keep them coming, I barely change brakes on my car but this is very entertaining, greetings from down under, Argentina
So many Chevrolets😂😂😂 they pay the bills!
just for sh@t's and giggles.... next time you give a shout out to rainman ray... when your phone rings... say this is for you ray.... doo dee doo... lol!!
Normally after I hear "It’s got the chubby rubba, the leatha, the hole in the roof" I see foot to the floor, slammed into drive, then slammed into reverse, a cloud of tire smoke, and then clunk clunk bang bang! 😂😂😂😂
some rockin' horse's !
Also Known As, (AKA, for short), Neutral drop time!!!! 🤣🤣
Air tools! I have a snap on air ratchet still in use that I bought in the mid 70s.
Came here for the "Brake Clean" *SOUND*, left disappointed. lol j/k, great video. Just did this to my Jeep over the weekend. I used the home equivalent version of the last chance tool, because rust belt too.
I AM CONCERNED that there are no longer sound effects for Brake Kceen or Fluid Film?!!! That's Baaaaaaaaahd!!!
Eric just pumping out the videos - so awesome!
We've been fans for a long time. Keep up the great vids, love the top-notch trouble shooting and humor, (what better place for a garage remote?). Looking forward to the next
Morning Eric, How about a British saying, "The Mutts Nuts"
Same as the "Bees knees" but bigger 😁
Regards to you both
Richard 🇬🇧
Can't wait until you hit 1 million subs, between the entertainment factor and everything you've taught over the years, you deserve to hit that milestone.
23:20 shit I just my parking brake all the time, my knock around car is a 04 trailblazer that gets parked on a sloped driveway, I don't call it a parking brake, I call it cheap parking prawl insurance because GM cars are junk and sitting a parking brake negates the very rare instance where the prawl snaps and smashes into somebody, or someone...
Eric, it sure was good to watch you beat on a Chevy. Relieved a lot of tension. So...curious. Do you tell the customer you fixed the problem and also mention there are three other problems (wheel bearings) that could show their ugly face down the road? Just curious. Thanks for Sharing!
It seems like they make these tone rings on newer cars so cheap that they rust away. I remember on one of my older cars it looks like an actual gear with teeth on it.
That is the difference between active and passive wheel speed sensors ;)
When I'm repairing skin on an airplane my air drill sounds like like that drilling rivets out. I have an Astro air drill goes about 2500RPM's
it's always great to see how you work. Especially with the rust and salt. So fun to see the difference between the cars you get and the cars that Ray gets.
I would love a special where you guys switch places for a day. Bet you would instantly smash something to pieces because it's not rusted to hell and Ray would sit there for a week with the wizzy wheel before he could say "Nice and shinaay" :D
Keep up the nice work and thanks for entertaining us.
So, now every time SMA drops a new video, I grab me a bowl of ice cream.
Tonight's flavor is 4 scoops of Strawberry ice cream with denutz, whipped cream, 1/2 banana (wife put it there) and top off with 2 cherries.
TAKE A BREAK dropping these videos Mr. O! You gonna make me FAT! 😋
Love the Astro bolt trick. I have converted 3 mechanics I know to use them. But did not know they were a real tool, so they just use a nut and bolt. Just a bit more friction, and a little marring of the surfaces it pushes on. But it works. Now i can pass along the actual kit. Thanks.
We have a month longer rust belt in northern Minnesota parking pads fall out pull everything out never used them in 50 years anyway no inspections here we run them till the wheels fall off just keep pulling the rusted shit off only a fool would by a new vehicle in this state of rust money down the hole faster then even the feds can spend it you find one 3 or 4 years old with low miles half the price
Eric I thought you owned the 8629 wheel bearing hub removal tool? The metal bar you nut onto the hub and give it one good wack with a sledge hammer and the bearing is out. Awesome tool, only once I've had to hit it twice lol.
You should wear nitrile 🧤...I never thought I would use them...now I can't live without them.
Seems of late that GM has been exceptionally kind to SMA!
As a Floridian, I almost feel bad you guys have to deal with the salt, then I remember we have to deal with your neighbors.
I'm still waiting for a video featuring SMA & Neutral Drop.
Another quality GM keeping SM going lol. Thanks GM and New York road salt
Don't worry, before the next wheel bearing goes out this vehicle will be back with timing chain issues.
Great video as usual Eric O but but I was waiting for the ta-da of brake clean but sadly nothing. Lmao either way still great video keep them coming sir
Nice work!!! You made quick work of that rusted hulk. It's interesting to see the different techniques from different mechanics from different locations around the country. Being from Arizona, the interior falls apart from sun rot 10,000 years before the chassis even sees any rust. The only moisture we see is from the Polar pop from Circle K evaporating in the cup holder!! I recently installed a dash cam in our Ram 1500 and had to find one that was spec'd to 195 degrees......
They make dash cams with this spec? Mine needs to warm up before it can work. (Near freezing temps where I live.)
Nice to see a technician who knows what he's doing and does it correctly. Great job! 👍🏻
I just looked that tool up on Amazon. The video that's on there is you taking a hub off lol.
My 05 gmc canyon had a bad miss today. I replaced the plugs and coils like Mr O and it's running better than ever.
What the what?! Wasn’t that brake clean at 24:07? Something’s missing!
I watch your videos and Ray's videos some times he gives you a shout out in his videos.
You should invite Rainman Ray to come up and work on a rusty, crusty project with you. Thanks for another awesome video!
Rainman Ray, you reading this? LOL! Stop by Pittsburgh on the way up, I'll give you a pre-game special, lol!!!
He ain't got no time for b.s ,that's how it done folks
Note to self. If it isn't a Toyota. Don't buy it. 🤷♂️
There's also a saying, "If it's got ***'s or tires, It'll give ya trouble!" 😁
Caliper BRACKETS!!! That's the name I couldn't think of while I was on Insty the other day. I called it something stupid that I made up, and Cuba commented on it that she'd never heard that term before, LOL! Man, my brain is FAILING big time!
Ahh, so that must be the tool you mentioned on my Ram hub bearing battle vid many many moons ago! I couldn't get those damned things to move 1mm without half a tank of acetylene and 40 minutes of jackhammering with Big Nasty! What a BATTLE that was! I gotta pick me up a few sets of those (Whenever my funds recover from yet another bank-account-emptying Silverado purchase - fixing the failure prone engine components next ... and adding 120+ RWHP in the process ... 😁)! Thanks yet AGAIN! 👍👍
Good ol' GM - always keeping us employed with their stellar engineering! Looks like they just Scotch taped the magnet on there, lol! 😂
Good to see ya got yerself some powered garage doors! I can't live without mine. This house had one when I first moved in - now I've got 3. No wonder I'm getting so fat! Garage door openers and a lift (Plus the wifey's cookin') add several pounds to the ol' belly. 😆
I need a hook for the hook.... My new motto....
I feel cheated, where is my brake clean noise. Oh well, good video. 🤨
thank god i needed something to watch
With all these rusty cars, it would be great to see the guys who weld these frames, bodies etc. to keep them going. There must be people doing that sort of thing up there.
I replaced my brake rotors and pads front and back a couple weeks ago on my 2012 GMC Acadia and the I guess the banging on the right rear rotor buggered up the wheel sensor like this one and the traction control and anti lock lights came on also stabilize control came on as well. Fortunately there was no loss of power but it would make a clunking sound coming from the front are I guess while it was self diagnosing itself but would stop after I drove for a minute or so and would then set the trac control and anti lock lights off on the dash.
Been using jack bolts for years and years, many applications for those. Showed a out of country technician that jack bolt trick one time, told me it would not work and then was amazed when it did lol
Heck yeah video time!
My Dewalt impact driver broke the first time I dropped it. I was about 15 feet up a ladder at the time and it landed on a concrete floor so I really wasn't surprised it broke.
Posted 9 minutes ago!
*Teach me Mr O!*
When I was a kid I had an old Grand Am. It needed a wheel bearing. I didn't know any better and said I'd do it myself. I couldn't even see where it ended and the rest began. I was almost in tears trying to beat that thing off. I don't remember if I even got it or not. I remember coming back at it the next day. lol Good times.
How the heck is Astro not a sponsor????????
The GM 3.6 - the engine that has bought more boats for techs than any in history.
Got mine fron it lmao those motors are a tragedy but easy to work on
well, i mean when they blow up, they can use them as anchors on their new boats, win-win, lol!!! Those engines are a dumpster fire tragedy, and I live and bleed GM......
@Jimmy S correct almost all the 3 .6 motors
It’s Disappointing but NOT Surprising you seem to get a Fair amount of Bidnez from General Motors. I’ve had a 2001 GMC Sierra for almost 22 years with NO issues.
The chubby rubbba
No Brakleen and / or Fluid Film noise! My day is ruined! 😄 Great job otherwise!
I like when you reference other guys like rain man and especially Ivan. I think Ivan actually sees electricity lol.
I agree, but then I ask myself - "When does Eric find the time to watch other peoples videos?". Between running his own business, having a bunch of kids, keeping Mrs. O happy, and also filming and editing the videos for us arm chair mechanics - WHERE DOES HE FIND THE TIME????? However he does it, just keep doing it Eric!!!!!!
A broken down Chevy!? A surprise to me!
Battery tools have their place, but if you need to get quick action from the trigger they suck. And no Mac/DeWalt impacts are fragile as hell!
Eric, Heard bee's knees before....My dad like to say "It's The Cat's Ass!!!!"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for this video! I got a 2017 traverse with the same problem. This should help me out! You gained a follower for sure! BTW I grew up not far from Avoca in Wellsville, NY
34mm axle nut...
I recently decided to increase the capacity of my pneumatic impact hammer choices to my DIY efforts and added a monster IR 3/4" example to the mix. The tool was only a very small part of the necessary air plant upgrades required to feed the new monster.
I added 1/2" quick-disconnects to the three air tanks (two 28 gallon and a 60 gallon). The big quick disconnects allow me to join all the tanks together if tackling an air volume intense project like the 3/4" impact, sand blasting, and/or plasma cutting. I worked up a couple of 1/2" quick-disconnect to four-port manifolds which have 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" sizes on them for any future go-big tool additions.
The new 3/4" tool, a month of parts orders, and installation effort of air plant infrastructure upgrades so the new toy would play... But, boy oh boy does that thing bring the beans!
Another thing that will light up the dash like s Christmas tree on these and kick on the traction control is low brake fluid. Car doesn't know what to do when that happens.
Hi! I’m having the SAME EXACT issue with my 2015 traverse LTZ. Once I hit 45-55mph the motor will start jumping and acting crazy kinda similar to a misfire with the same service lights on. Was this traverse doing that? I desperately need help resolving this issue! This is my only means of transportation for me and my kids
Exact same problem just happened on my 2017 Traverse Premier a few days ago. Service Stabilitrak System, ABS off, Traction off, All Wheel Drive off. Right rear wheel bearing was the issue.
Just did the rear hub on a 2015 traverse. This was hands down the best video to follow. I didn't have the cool bolts, so I improvised with bolts from the hardware store. The bolts got destroyed, but the hub popped off beautifully.
