Hello... GM Family... Can ANYONE PLEASE “HELP” me out? I have a 2005 GMC YUKON DENALI XL and it has a C0279 code. My BRAKES are LOCKED and can’t drive it. I have NEW BRAKES and CALIBERS. They’re NO ABS nor BRAKE light on DASH. The Service Stability light comes on display... Can someone PLEASE “HELP” me out if possible?

Did this issue ever get resolved? am having the exact same issue with a 2006 Cadillac Escalade. All brakes lock up and service stability light comes on. The brakes will free up if I let it sit for a couple of hours.

I had a mechanic look at it and they replaced rear brakes, rotors, calipers, and brakes hoses. Issues is still occuring and everyone is stumped.

Well, we don't know because the OP posted once and ghosted us. Hasn't been on since early 2021. Suggest you start a new thread about your issue.

Your mechanic is a moron. What do you think the odds are that all of your brake calipers decided to lock up or the brake hoses all collapsed at the same time on a vehicle that has been actively used instead of sitting in a field for 5 years????? Pull your ABS fuse and/or the Traction control and see which one(s) stop the locking up nonsense then troubleshoot the correct system from there.
