Got in the truck today and Service Stabilitrak and park assist disabled popped up on the DIC. I also saw the ABS light was lit up on the instrument panel. I will be a few days before I can get it to the dealership. Anybody have an idea what caused this?

 

Guess I should tell you I am driving a 2014 Crew Cab LTZ Z71 5.3L

Do u have a Range AFM device installed? If so, and its running old software you will get some of those messages. Mine was getting service stabilitrack and park assist. If you don't have the range its probably a loose connection.

I had the front left tire repaired at discount tire earlier that day. At some point during the repair they cut one of the electrical wires going into the hub. That caused all of my error codes. The way the hub is build it could not be repaired at had to replace the whole thing.

As per yesterday I've find out a strange thing on my truck.

Ok it's a '13 but maybe the cause is the same on the '14.

 

A few weeks ago the engine was out of the sudden idling at 750-800 rpm, the stabilitrac and esp message popped up.

I turned off the engine for a minute and started. No probs.

Last week I was sitting in the parking lot waiting for something and had the key in position #1 (I thing is "accessory") to keep the radio running.

After 20 min or so the message "battery low-start engine" popped up... :dunno:

 

Yesterday, same parking lot, same story (almost). After sitting for 25min (with the key in #1) I started the engine and again "stabilitrac and esp off" - message. Then I remembered that it was the same a few weeks ago. Sitting for a extended period of time with the key in #1 position.

 

I will see if I can duplicate it again tomorrow.

 

so long

wait what.....

 

That tire shop cut the fricken abs/speed sensor wire going to the hub. WHY THE HELL would they do that. That is causing your issue and that will not be covered on warranty, you better make that tire shop pay up.

Yeah I had taken it to the dealer and they gave be a quote for something like $507 for the repair. Went back with that to discount and told them what they did. The manager said he wasn't sure how they could have done that but that they would pay to have it fixed. I was expecting them to fight it and was pleasantly surprised when they didn't.

I'll post here because this is the most recent thread. My light for service stabilitrak came on last month as I took it in for the oil change. My dealer told me it was because of the lift that was put on the truck that it stretched the wires. He told me he would call me in about 2 days when the part came in to replace. Since then I have called 5 different times and left messages for him to call me back so I can get my truck fixed and he won't return my calls. Has anyone else heard of that or is my dealer trying to pull a fast one?

If I were you, I would drive over there and have a talk with him have him show you the problem.. Nothing like getting answers straight from a person, instead of receiving possible lies on the phone.

Similar problem here, 3800 miles, just cruising the freeway at about 70 mph the Service Stabilitrak and ABS lights came on. I also noticed now when I make phone calls via bluetooth the loudspeaker works but nothing shows up on the radio and the DIC is dimming then going bright again. :dunno:

 

Bone stock truck with no Mods and no off roading, made an appointment for next week, if anyone has anymore ideas what the possible causes are I'd like to know, otherwise I'll post up the results once I see the dealer.

I got in my truck after work today and turned my key. I barely turned my key and popped it back to run position. The truck turned over once and then stopped. I then got the "service stabilitrak" message. Turned my key off and started my truck normally with no issues. I'm thinking the systems just didn't cycle in time before I clicked my key backwards.

This is an old thread.  Search the forums for things like "G218 ground" and "electrical fixed" and you will find newer threads that show you what to check.

      primary drive belt tensioner

      By Deadwood · Posted

      I bought belts and pulleys for my '20 L5P at Rock Auto a couple years ago. I have used them for many years, and almost always save significant money, especially when I buy maintenance stuff ahead of time.   They carry many OEM parts, which is all I use unless an aftermarket is shown to be same/superior, or if it is an insignificant part or unavailable OEM part anywhere else. RA is usually lower priced, often by a bunch, but parts are sometimes unavailable or out of stock, and I do shop around and sometimes find better prices at other sites.   Be aware that you pay shipping, and if you buy multiple items and they are coming from different warehouses, the shipping can kill the advantage. Planning ahead is best if possible.   If you have a transmission service in the near future, check out their OEM (AC Delco ULV) fluid, usually MUCH less than anywhere else.

      10L1000 anyone with High Mileage ? I hate Damocles....

      By Deadwood · Posted

      New member here, very long time occasional guest. Saw this thread, thought it would be a good time to contribute someting. It is only my experience and not a claim that everyone will have the same.   I bought my '20 3500 L5P new and have put 99.9% (literally) of it's current ~400k miles on it myself, with over 50% of that towing loads between 4k to 15k, and to me this truck has been nothing short of amazing. For the first 235k I had zero issues, and from there until 321k I replaced a NOx sensor, two failing glow plugs, and three of the notorious injector connectors. I believe this truck is in part, a testament to good luck, but also good care and following a decent maintenance schedule (I also keep meticulous records.) As a result, it looks as good as a well cared for 70k rig, up and down, inside and out.   At some point before that 321k mile mark I began to get a little spooked about the 10L1000, especially the valve body. Word of mouth about potential issues prompted me to jump on the net to sift through all the noise and determine what all the fuss was about. I routinely take long trips, coast-to-coast and points in between, so roadside breakdowns can be '...a thousand miles from nowhere' and a bit of a challenge, and though I had no issues, my guard was up and activated.   And then I stumbled across a chance to salvage some parts off a new 2025 that had been wrecked in transport. I grabbed a few wear items (alternator, pulleys, etc.) and on a whim asked what the ten speeder would cost me. It was cheap...really cheap. I knew some changes had been made in the '24+ version 10L and were supposedly not compatible, but I called service/parts at my local Chevy dealer and asked why and they didn't know. A call to a well known aftermarket transmission outfit revealed it was very likely it would be fine, but to them not 100% sure.   Because it was cheap (really cheap) and I was spooked, I took the chance. Had it installed by a local shop and it worked like a champ, shifted just like the original. At it's first service at 37k, I had the shop put in a Next Gen valve body kit, which after some initial hiccups and rough shifts, smoothed out though with somewhat firmer shifting.   All that said, I have a very serious concern about my newer transmission as just two weeks ago it suddenly began to exhibit a strong reluctance to engage forward or reverse. It was a bit past due anyway so I took it in for service. The reason it was sticking was due to 'glitter' in the fluid clogging the filter...not good folks, often indicates a converter giving out. We ended up going ahead with the new filter and fluid, first to see if it would move and shift, and then if so buy me a little time. It did, and I've driven it over a thousand miles and it is shifting smooth, no noises or slipping. Regardless, it looks like a third gearbox is in my future so I can resume taking long trips with some confidence. In the very short term, my curiosity will have me examining the fluid to check how much glitter has reappeared.   An earlier poster had alleged, in the context of 10L100 failures, that it is another example of how we seasoned citizens somehow descend into hysteria, lose control of our senses, and react irrationally after brief encounters with the idiocy of the internet infosphere. Let me say (and I have used and abused said internet since it's infancy) there is no segment of the populace that has a corner on over-reaction to digital garbage. Just as my offering of experience in this arena is purely anecdotal and should not be considered gospel or all-encompassing, I believe it is still worthwhile information to consider, along with other relevant anecdotal experiences about things like complex transmissions, especially when balanced with other sources.   So to answer the original question, yes I got high miles out of my first 10L, trouble free for 321,000. Now I really wonder how much longer it would have went. Did I 'overreact' to the internet ghouls by replacing a 'good' one with a 'bad' one? Maybe. Who knows, the thing might have taken a puke a 100 miles later. So I'll just fix it again, then move on and start thinking about all the other stuff that will eventually wear out. It still has the original brakes (they're at ~60%), original injectors/pump, turbo, water pump, etc....pretty much original everything. Knock on wood.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      By swathdiver · Posted

      At peak temperature.  They get to cool down and warm up more, especially those with the external cooler.  I have three GMT900s and one of them has over 225K on its original transmission.  Fluid gets changed about every 36K miles, all of it.     It's not the bean counters, it was the government.  They had to meet CAFE standards and other government requirements.   To get around that, we tune them and modify them to our liking.
