Check the ABS sensor wire on the backside of the front hubs. I had the same problem a few months back and I took a look under my front end and noticed the wire on my right front wheel hub was broken. I replaced it with a new abs sensor and the problem was solved.

Stablilitrak (in all late model Denalis) uses a wheel speed sensor at each corner and a 4-channel ABS for the wheel-brake control (both stability and traction control algorithms).

Stabikitrak, ABS, and traction control are basically one unit working together. Separate but interconnected systems and one problem will affect all three. I'm not sure if a bad wheel bearing can ruin a wheel speed sensor, but definitely check all connections to these sensors before exploring replacement. It's not normal for the ABS to go bad, but all it takes is one sticking valve and the whole thing needs replacement.

Hope it works out for you.

I just had my steering intermediate shaft replaced yesterday, and now I'm getting a Service Stability message. The work was done by a mechanic, which I'm taking it back to tomorrow. Is there any way these can be connected?

I've got a '06 Yukon Denali with about 90k miles on it. I've never seen this warning until now, which seems like a huge coincidence....
Also, I have my stock wheels on now, which have the tire monitors taken out (they are in my other set of wheels/tires, which will be put back on this week as spring is here!). I get the Service Tire Monitor message each time, which is normal, but I'm not sure if that might have something to do with it.... It didnt display the Stability message at all last year though.

Any input much appreciated!
