Stabilitrak/Traction Control Issues

[Joseph Garcia]

If the dash light comes on, a trouble code is generated. If you don't see it with your scanner, my guess is that you are not using a quality bi-directional scanner, capable of identifying and displaying underlying control module or deep trouble codes.

I recommend that you get yourself a quality bi-directional scanner to add to your tool box. Then, you will be able to read ALL codes, along with a brief explanation/pointer to the source of your issue. You will literally save thousands of dollars in diagnostic and repair costs over the life of your truck, and you will most likely recoup the cost of the scanner within 1 year.

Yup, my scanner has paid for itself many times over, not just with my Yukon, but with more than a dozen other vehicles.
I'm sort the family mechanic, so I have plugged into a lot of cars since I bought it.
My 2002 Nissan Altima had the chip key sensor in the ignition lock go out.
I bought a replacement sensor but the car was still stuck in 'locked' mode.
I thought I was going to have to have the dealer pull it out of Locked mode but I went ahead and reprogrammed all 3 keys to the vehicle for the heck of it and it worked great.
Saved me a tow and at least a $500 trip to the dealer.
That single use saved me more than the original purchase of the scanner.
The scanner has also been loaned out to friends that have scanned their cars for issues not able to be read with a basic scanner.
