New BDS lift now stabilitrack is coming on

Payton34 · May 15, 2015

I picked it up from the shop drove home 20 miles on stock wheels tires and no issues. The next day the tires went on and the alignment done. Since the tires and alignment I get the stabilitrack light on turns occasionally.

Sensor is loose or has dirt in it in one of the hubs.

Is it possible the tire size needs to be calibrated to the truck? Not sure if this will cause the stabilitrak light to come on but in my 02 it causes my abs and e brake light to come on

OP says he is running stock size tires, so should be no errors with stabilitrak. As long as the new ties size is no more than 1" taller/shorter than the stock size you should not have any issues with the ABS/stabilitrak/TC system.

He said he also put new tires on so they are more than likely one inch taller than stock size tires

Yes when the lift was done I drove home 25 miles with stock wheels and stock tires with no stabilitrack lights. Next day alignment and 35x12.5 tires where put on. The stabilitrack light came on once that 1st day and came on once this morning. I have not gotten a programmer yet to adjust tire size. Stock was 32" now 35"

I figured its not the lift since there were no lights coming on the first day. It has to be the tires or alignment

ok, I missed that. It is definitely the tires causing the issue then. Wont go away until you change tire size.

I called BDS and they said need to fix tire size but also the steering wheel position sensor and yaw sensor need to set to 0. They said dealer or some shops can do it. I know the dealer will not do the tire size so doubt they will do anything to the steering sensor. I am thinking it may be just tire size since there were no issues with stabilitrack when stock size was on. I looked at the alignment sheet and they didn't adjust much camber was the only thing they needed to adjust. I know the truck is moving faster than the speedo actually is reading which is probably telling the computer a wheel is slipping

Dealer won't calibrate for tire size? First I've ever heard this. BDS lifts are covered under factory GM warranty as well (through a certified installer)

I know dealer wont do the ties I will be ordering a programmer. Hope that fixes it

Voids warranty just as a heads up. Dealer has a flash counter on the ECM

Dealer only will calibrate for tires sizes that came from GM.

On the K2xx series trucks that use the new GM global computer systems the dealer can no longer change the tires size in the computer. Every tire size GM uses on the trucks now is the same overall circumference across the board, so with that as long as you run one of the stock sizes the speedo and odometer will be close to accurate. Change sizes though and you will be force to use some sort of aftermarket product to change the tire size in the computer which technically could put you in a position to have warranty work denied if the dealer is lazy and wants to take the easy way out.

I got a programmer and changed my tire size but it didn't stop my stabilitrack from engaging in turns. Im getting frustrated since BDS advertises their kit works on stabilitrack trucks?
