Installed new shocks today, but....

[07Burb]

This may be a complete coincidence or I may have done something wrong but as soon as I finished installing my new shocks today I hopped in to go for a ride and I immediately started getting messages on my DIC about "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL", "SERVICE STABILITRAK", and "STABILITRAK OFF". Has anyone seen this before right after replacing their shocks? What have I done wrong???

Surely there aren't sensors in the old shocks that I needed to put on/in the new shocks prior to install are there???

No sensors that I am aware of. I have got that same message before just sitting in a parking lot with the yukon in park idling. The error went away a few hours later and ive never seen it since so maybe yours is just a random coincidence?

That's actually encouraging! I hope it's random and just goes away. Very strange coincidence for sure.

Thanks to some help from Tony(NorcalSS) I got this figured out!! On the framerail directly above the top bolt of each shock is a connection for the stabilitrac system. Well, somehow the drivers side connection got disconnected while unbolting the top of the drivers side shock. I found the issue, reconnected it and we are back in business

Good news

Glad it was an easy fix and that I didn't screw anything up too bad those connections must unplug really easy though :/

What made you replace the shocks Jacob? Ride was getting stiff?

 

[07Burb]

It was getting very bouncy when going over bumps. With the new shocks it's MUCH nicer!!

Yeah that would be the first thing to check. Glad it worked out.

What kind of shocks did you get?
