I have been looking at used 2007 Suburbans and Yukon XLs but when I look at the RPO code sticker in the glove box I have yet to see JL4 (Stabilitrak or Active Brake Control) listed on any of them! Am I just unlucky and none of the ones I have looked at have it or since it supposedly became Standard Equipment in 2007 it was removed from the RPO list? As a side note, some of the 2006 and older Suburbans and Yukon XLs that I have looked at actually have the JL4 code listed. Please help.

Update, the strange thing is, if I hold the button with the squiggly lines down for 5 seconds, it actually does say "Stabilitrak off" on the display! So it does have it?

I could be wrong but ever since they started using it I think around 04/05 you probably cant get one without it

Standard on all SUVs in 2007+.

Not sure about the missing JL4. I do know that JL4 means you will have 6 flex lines instead of 5. There will be two coming over the rear axle instead of one.

is it possible to turn Stabilitrak completely off? I mean any other way than pulling ABS fuse out?

You mean permanently? otherwise it's just press and hold the button til it disables.

It's a nice feature but a pain to shut off sometimes. I was in a work van that had it, and I was getting stuck in mud and really needed to power out.
I turned off Traction Control... yet stabilitrack kicked in.. turning the van. It took a while until I figured it out, once I had both TC and Stabilitrack off, I was able to power right out of my stuck situation.

yeah I know about holding the button for few seconds, just not sure if that turns it off completely or just limits it a bit.

Press and hold the button for 5 seconds and Stabilitrak and Traction Control are turned off.

Vehicle brochures and Restoration Kit for Tahoe and Suburban say the feature is standard on all trim levels. Owner's manual says "may" have it.
