Руль стоит ровно.

Ошибка вылезла как толко на переднюю ось был небольшой удар, я наехал как бы на лежащий, скорость была 5-10 км/ч.

Думаю на датчик который к стойки и к кузову крепиться.

Дешевле на тех2 посмотреть на какой именно датчик оно ругается, так просто быстрее. Под сидушкой выход датчика из строя ооочень редкая история, там чаще разъём зависает, а вот абс и кольца магнитные на ступицах — постоянная история

Нет, не видно. Но весь букет ошибок указывает на датчик АВС ступицы, или намекает на детальную проверку проводки. GM этим грешен, где-то недощелкнули фишку или подтёрся провод, и Алё глюки!

Нет, проблемы с рулём очень редкие ибо ломаться там нечему, судя по скриншотам у вас где-то обрыв или замыкание проводов идущих на блоки управления, может левая сигналка глючит если стоит, может залило что-то водой, это гадание на кофейной гуще, без сервиса с нормальными спецами и сканером тут врядле в гараже отверткой получится справиться

Привет всем жителям клуба!

Очередной фокус от моего SRX. В проблеме виноват сам, езжу уже месяца 3-4 с горящим чеком, ошибка P0420 — неэффективная работа катализаторов. В сервисе сказали, что надо менять лямбду, поскольку каты в порядке, но для экономии предложили поставить обманку. Обманку на наше авто никто гарантированно не делает, а если кто делал прошу сообщить где?! 

В общем описываю проблему:

утром завожу — всё ок! (горит только чек из-за лямбды)

без прогрева трогаюсь — вылетает Сервис Stability track и Снижение мощности двигателя, начинает всё вибрировать. Глушу, завожу, еду… и так каждые 2-5 минут повторяются танцы с бубном и глушениемзаводом. Выхожу на трассу и всё норм!

утром завожу — всё ок! (горит чек)

грею…через минуту загорается люстра на приборке с теми же значками, что и ранее

Кто что скажет?

Есть ли смысл мучиться с обманкой или лучше поменять лямбду и каты? Есть ли необходимость чистить заслонку дросселя (ребят на эскалэйдах эта процедура спасала). Кто сталкивался?!

The StabiliTrak system is a vital function like the traction control system (TCS) that helps to ensure your safety as you drive, especially on a slippery road. However, many people do not understand its operation and what the service StabiliTrak light means when it automatically comes on from the vehicle’s dashboard.

As a safety measure light, you must not ignore its appearance; because doing so may endanger your life as you continue to drive without paying attention to it.

Suppose you are wondering what the StabiliTrak system means, how it works, and the meaning of the StabiliTrak warning light in case it comes on. In that case, the relevant information is available here for your consumption.

What Does The Service StabiliTrak Light Mean And How It Works?

StabiliTrak is an electronic stability control system that similitude to the traction control system (TCS) of a car; however, it performs a different function compared to the traction control system.

While traction control system helps to limit the degree of power distributed to the various wheels of your car to ensure that none of the wheels spins, StabiliTrak enables your vehicle to move in a straight line as you drive, irrespective of what may come against it as an obstacle.

The StabiliTrak system works by using sensors to ascertain the position of your car’s steering wheels and the tires, comparing them to the direction in which the vehicle is moving towards. 

For instance, if you are driving on a slippery (snowy) road and your car begins to fishtail, the StabiliTrak system will help correct the vehicle’s direction so that it heads towards the actual path. It is a maneuver system.

If your car enters a place where it begins to fishtail and moves towards the left, and your car’s steering wheel and tires are pointing towards the right, StabiliTrak will engage the brake on the car’s outside front tire to help straighten the car back on track.

However, it is better to turn off stability control and traction control at times, especially when you are in the middle of a situation where your car is stuck, such as driving on a muddy hill or a snowstorm.

StabiliTrak reduces power, which may not be ideal when your car is stuck and needs help. Hence, your car would need more energy to scale through the obstacle.

Service StabiliTrak means that one or more of the related components involved in the proper functioning of the system is defective and needs immediate attention.

What Causes The Service StabiliTrak Light To Come On?

Although the StabiliTrak system involves a car’s steering wheel, the brake systems, and the traction system, there are several challenges outside the areas that relate to its functionality that cause the service StabiliTrak light to come on. These are some reasons why your car’s StabiliTrak light may come on.

• A faulty throttle position sensor
• Defective steering wheel position sensor
• ABS sensors
• Defective fuel pump
• Faulty or old spark plugs and ignition coils (Engine misfire)
• Active Fuel Management (AFM)
• Tire pressure monitor sensors
• Brake switch
• Body control module
• E85 Fuel

The above-listed issues are some of the challenges that cause the service StabiliTrak light to come on. Some people confirmed that their vehicle’s StabiliTrak light comes on when they use E85 fuel but automatically disappears once they run their tank dry on the fuel and refill with the typical gasoline. Always ensure to pay attention to fuel indication signs.

Also, a bad fuel pump may not always lead to your car’s StabiliTrak light turning on, although it does at times. Therefore, you must endeavor to keep an eye on your car’s StabiliTrak light whenever it comes on and check out any of the possible causes that have been outlined above.

Meanwhile, when there is a StabiliTrak issue in your car, there will always be symptoms to project the problem. You must endeavor to pay attention to the service traction control and StabiliTrak service notifications.

Service StabiliTrak Chevy

The StabiliTrak of a Chevy operates by engaging a steering wheel position sensor. The sensor works by comparing the vehicle’s wheel’s position to its actual steering response for correcting the car’s movement in the right direction. Therefore, a malfunction projected by the service StabiliTrak of a Chevy Cruze may alter this function.

 You can hit the road with an assurance of maintaining control over your vehicle’s movement because your Chevrolet’s StabiliTrak system allows for the adjustment of brake or engine torque in correlation to what the StabiliTrak system detects as it functions.

This can help prevent you from an accident because the brake stops the wheel slip and alters Chevy’s trajectory completely.

Symptoms Of Service StabiliTrak Issue

There are several obvious symptoms that you cannot ignore when your car has a StabiliTrak issue. Some of the symptoms are:

• A StabiliTrak warning light appears.
• Hard shifting
• Loss of power/limp mode
• Trouble codes appear randomly, such as P0121 (Pedal position sensor), P0011 (Camshaft positioning A), P0521 (Engine oil pressure sensor), and C0561 (ABS disabled). However, there could be a projection of service StabiliTrak with no codes displayed.

How To Fix Service StabiliTrak Issue

Once you notice that your car’s service StabiliTrak warning light is on, it is time to pay careful attention to the issue and find out what could be wrong, as well as a possible way to curb the challenge. Since the StabiliTrak warning light is a sign of a malfunction, the following steps will help you rectify the issue.

Step 1: Pullover

Immediately you find your vehicle’s StabiliTrak warning light on, the first thing you must do is find a suitable location and pullover. 

Step 2: Turn off the engine

After getting a good place to pull over, turn off your car’s engine for about 20 to 30 seconds; this will ensure that all systems can refresh.

Step 3: Start the engine.

Start the car after the recommended period. The warning light should disappear after you do this. However, if it still appears, you may have to consult a professional auto mechanic to carefully diagnose the component that may be defective, which relates to the StabiliTrak system, thereby projecting the warning light.

FAQs

Q: How much does it cost to fix the service StabiliTrak?

A car’s service StabiliTrak cost is estimated at around $80 to $90; this includes labor costs of about $30 to $50 and parts costs of about $20 to $40, respectively. There may be some variation in prices from one location or service center to another.

Some parts sellers may include shipping costs if they have to ship the parts to you in another location. Maybe you could find out the price from the service center near you.

Q: Can I drive with the StabiliTrak light on?

It depends. If you are considering whether it is safe to drive while your car’s TCS or StabiliTrak light is on, it could be safe to drive with your car’s StabiliTrak light on if it comes on when it seems your vehicle is losing traction. It is a sign that the TCS is engaging quite alright.

When you drive without your car’s traction control, the vehicle would be susceptible to sliding around or spinning out on the road. Therefore, you must ensure that the system is in good condition.

Q: How do I turn off service StabiliTrak?

If your car’s service StabiliTrak light comes on automatically and you need to turn it off, follow these simple steps:

• First of all, press the traction control system (TCS) button on your car’s steering wheel; then, rerelease it.
• After that, press and hold on to the control button for a few seconds; then, the service StabiliTrak light will turn off.

However, this process may not be the same for every car; hence, you must endeavor to check your car’s manufacturer’s manual to ascertain where to find your car’s traction control button. You will usually locate it close to the steering wheel on the left side.

Q: Can StabiliTrak cause a car to stall?

StabiliTrak can actually make your car stall when the stability control system malfunctions in a situation where your car is fishtailing, and the system cannot remedy the problem. When this happens, the vehicle may not have enough power to get through the obstacle; hence, it could stall, and the engine may go off.

Q: What is the difference between stability control and traction control?

Stability control is different from traction control. Stability control involves cutting power and brake wheels to enable a car to move in the direction the driver points to. It helps to maneuver a vehicle from the wrong path, especially when driving on a snowy road.

Meanwhile, traction control limits the vehicle’s wheels from spinning. It may not necessarily help the vehicle maneuver back to the direction the driver points to. All stability control involves traction control, but all traction control does not include stability control. However, both functionalities are vital for you to enjoy a fair ride.

Final Words

Since your car’s StabiliTrak system helps ensure your safety as you drive, it would be helpful to keep an eye on the service StabiliTrak warning light if it pops up.

If you ever discover the warning light on, it is not the time to manage your car driving around until you think it is convenient to check it out. Ensure to pull over and try out the quick fix way recommended in this article.

However, if the light remains on persistently, you may have to seek the attention of an expert auto mechanic to help you remedy the situation.

Traction controls, also known as Stabilitrak, are completely safe for your car. It is an active vehicle safety system that tries to prevent the wheels from losing grip and skidding when the driver makes a dangerous maneuver or over-accelerates the vehicle, even if the ground is very slippery (e.g., ice), but often we are stuck in either mud or snow. This means you’ll have to learn how to turn off the StabiliTrak system.

In these kinds of tricky situations, if you don’t turn off StabiliTrak, the vehicle will gradually reduce power. And to get out of that situation, you’ll need an extra boost. Disabling StabiliTrak will help you cope with the situation.

Depending on the vehicle and model, the method to turn off the StabiliTrak service will vary but don’t worry, in this article, we will try to mention most of the possible vehicles.

What Is Stabilitrak?

StabiliTrak is the name of General Motors’ patented electronic stability control (ESC) system. GM’s StabiliTrak is an ESC system that stops the wheels from saving the vehicle from slipping and adjusts the vehicle’s trajectory.

Service StabiliTrak Chevy

The dynamic StabiliTrak technology offered by Chevrolet is activated when the sensor detects a difference in wheel location and steering reaction.

This system responds to oversteer or understeer conditions, improving safety for drivers less experienced in driving on slippery surfaces such as snow or ice.

Chevy’s StabiliTrak system can detect when the driver needs assistance and then apply the brakes or adjust power for a smoother ride.

Service StabiliTrak GM

GM’s StabiliTrak system, on the other hand, is amazing. It uses the brakes to prevent wheel slippage and change the vehicle’s trajectory, but it can do much more than that! StabiliTrak also identifies when a driver has completely lost control of their car by examining information such as steering angle or engine rpm.

What Does Service Stabilitrak Mean?

The Stabilitrak Service message means that some type of error has occurred in the Stabilitrak system, which is a traction control system (TCS) found in all standard safety-rated vehicles.

This Service Stabilitrack warning can be generated by a malfunctioning input sensor, a malfunctioning controller, or a miswired sensor.

How to Turn off Stabilitrak in Different Vehicles

One of the most common questions from vehicle owners is how to turn off StabiliTrak. We’ll show you how to turn off your vehicle’s traction control.

1. Ford

If you have a Ford or similar vehicle, you can use this process. However, the process will depend on your vehicle model, in these cases, you will need to find the location of the StabiliTrak sensor.

1. To turn off the Stabilitrak, first press the traction control button on the steering wheel and release it immediately.
2. Then press and hold the control button for a short period. The traction control will turn off as a result.

On other models it is necessary to find the location of the StabiliTrak sensor:

1. To find the location of the Stabilitrak sensor: go to the car menu, and check the steering wheel controls under the instrument panel.
2. Look at the left side of the steering wheel. Here you need to look for the black arrow and press it.
3. Once you have completed the above steps, you will have to scroll down once again; all you have to do now is try to manage the settings.
4. Once you have reached the settings, select accept. When you are done with this, you will immediately get more options than you saw before.
5. From the new options, you should select DRIVER ASSIST. But in this option, remember to click the OK button again.
6. Now the DRIVER CONTROL option will appear in front of you. Congratulations, you have completed the procedure. Now all you have to do is check the steering wheel and press OK, and you are ready to go.

2. Volkswagen’s

If you own a Volkswagen or identical car, the process may be a little different. We will show you how to turn off your car’s traction control.

1. You must convert your vehicle to accessory mode. Here, always be sure to keep the ignition in position, but do not start the engine.
2. After you have done the above. You must go through the lights. Put your hands on the warning lights.
3. If you don’t know which one it is, don’t worry, just find the triangle button and press it.
4. After you press it, the warning lights will come on and you are ready to move on to the next step.
5. Now you must press the accelerator pedals. Start slowly, press the accelerator pedal once, and then repeat the process 4 more times, for a total of 5 times.
6. The vehicle will move forward as a result of pressing the accelerator pedal. It will move a few feet and then the TC will come back on. The vehicle will do this automatically.

Note: in most cases, some safety features will be disabled if you perform the process, all you need to do is reactivate them again to fully enjoy your car.

3. Toyota

In this case, Toyota has an easier process, since it has a VSC button.

1. Press and hold the button for a few seconds.
2. Done, this will do the job for you; it will disable the VSC as well as the TRAC; after the procedure is complete, you will see a message that says VSC OFF, as well as the TRAC OFF message.

4. Chevrolet and GMC

In the particular case of GMC or Chevy, traction control and StabiliTrak can be activated as follows:

1. Press the center button, pass through the button on the mainboard.
2. Now all you have to do is press the button and hold it down for a few seconds to see the traction control activate.
3. It will then display a DIC message. If you own a GMC Sierra, you will understand exactly what we mean.
4. Well, now you just have to wait, the Stabilitrak in your car will turn on automatically.
5. It will occur if your car reaches 56 km/h or more, and you should know that the traction control will also be deactivated.

5. FIAT, RAM, Dodge Jeep y Chrysler

With the vehicle stopped, but turned on, perform this process:

1. Press the ESC button. Hold it there for about 6 seconds.
2. You will now hear a buzzer,… Ready, in the instrument group you will see ESC OFF.

How To Reset Service Stabilitrak Light

The Stabilitrak warning light on the instrument panel usually comes on. This may be due to a software or computer failure, which you can resolve by pressing the Stabilitrak button or by following the procedure described above for your car, or it may be due to a system problem that needs to be resolved.

Before attempting to reset any warning light, it is recommended that you perform the appropriate diagnostic checks, as warning lights are your truck’s only means of communicating problems.

Follow this guide to reset StabiliTrak light after you have completed the diagnostic check.

Step to Reset Service Stabilitrak Light

Make sure the Stabilitrak button is not pressed manually; otherwise, the Stabilitrak system may be disabled due to current weather conditions. If none of these statements are true, read on to learn how to reset the system.

• Step 1: Turn the handwheel clockwise. (If it shuts off, the vehicle does not need service, otherwise, follow the other steps.)
• Step 2: Turn off the vehicle
• Step 3: Wait 15 seconds
• Step 4: Turn the vehicle on

If the DIC message disappears, the vehicle is no longer in need of repair. If the message persists, contact your local dealer or a professional repair shop for assistance.

What Would Cause The Stabilitrak Light To Come On?

When this warning indicator light comes on in the dashboard, it may mean that the system is not working properly, is receiving a bad signal, or has shut down.

If the traction service light is also on, there is a possibility that the StabiliTrak system has problems. Let’s look at the most common reasons:

1. Input Sensor

One of the most typical causes of Service StabiliTrak warning alerts appearing on the dashboard. These faulty sensors may be associated with wheel speed, steering angle, or rate of turn.

The problem should be resolved by promptly replacing the affected sensor with your model at your local service facility.

2. Faulty Controller

In this situation, a faulty powertrain control module (PCM) could be the culprit.

The StabiliTrak system is activated when the electronic sensor at each wheel communicates with the PCM about stability and steering performance.

This is particularly critical during extreme weather conditions.

3. Bad Connection

Damage to the GM-LAN communication line can sometimes fail the Service StabiliTrak connection. General Motors uses GM-LAN communication cables, which are wiring harnesses shielded by a plastic jacket that extends to the transmission mechanism.

To protect the wiring and critical gearbox components, the heat shield is mounted on the gearbox.

However, when the plastic coverages and is exposed to high temperatures over an extended period of time, it can become brittle and become detached.

As a result, the GM-LAN communication channel is vulnerable. A portion of the GM-LAN cable can also be pushed against the heat shield and partially melt the plastic cable jacket.

Grounding of the GM-LAN line can disrupt communications between the body control computers, including the StabiliTrak system.

Although there are other causes for the StabiliTrak service warning, wiring and grounding problems are another possibility.

The Service StabiliTrak error message indicates that there is a problem. StabiliTrak can sometimes be repaired by cycling the basic engine ignition:

1. Stop and turn off your vehicle.
2. Let it sit for at least 20 seconds.

Stabilitrak And Traction Control Disabling Itself

Your engine starts to misfire, you have an engine light flashing, the computer turned off your stabilization and traction control, and if you let things go on too long you’re going to see service lights for your traction control and your Stabilitrak. Sounds like a catastrophic failure, but don’t worry, I’ll show you how to fix it.

A flashing engine light normally indicates a misfire, so why would a misfire cause the traction control and Stabilitrak to go out? both systems need reliable engine speed.

So GM programmed the vehicle to shut those systems off in the event of a misfire for safety reasons. The good news is that if you fix the misfire, both problems automatically go away.

Many things can cause a misfire, including a loose spark plug wire. So, it pays to go under the hood and check them. It’s free and easy.

But when that doesn’t work, and it probably won’t, you’re going to need a code reader and in this case, even the cheapest ones will suffice, since you just have to get the number from the computer.

This is a very cheap OBD reader. It even comes with a little booklet that gives you all the code definitions in there. This one is a little more specific to trucks and GM vehicles. It comes with a manual as well.

It also allows you to repair your ABS and your passenger restraint and airbag systems. So it has a little bit more features than the others.

How Much Does It Cost to Fix the StabiliTrak?

Conclusion

StabiliTrak service messages are the vehicle’s way of telling you that it needs attention. StabiliTrak technology protects drivers from wheel slippage and prevents accidents on bumpy roads as a standard safety feature.

The most common reason for these alerts is that the input sensors are not functioning properly or that controller problem interfere with the transmission of power to the wheels preventing them from gripping surfaces effectively.

In an emergency situation where more traction is needed, such as when driving over rough terrain in a snowstorm, disabling StabiliTrak can increase the chances of successfully traversing tricky areas without risking damage to anything else, such as brakes or steering components; this varies depending on the type of vehicle you drive, so be sure you know how to do this before attempting any changes.

Now you know how to turn off Stabilitrak, we try to detail the process as simple as possible, you do not need more hands than yours to do it, but always keep in mind the safety measures.
