My 2014 Sierra is displaying Service stabilitrak and the ABS light. It has 58k miles and never did this before and only does this when the road is wet and or raining. When this happens the tranny gets confused as to which gear to pick and the truck falls on it's face. Any one have this issue when It's raining? I have seen and searched other posts but couldn't find one where this happens under wet conditions.

So I took my truck into the dealer for a recall and they told me that the code it threw was for the right rear speed sensor. They wanted $240 to replace it so I went ahead and changed it myself. Still the same issue. I also tried the G218 fix by removing the sound material from the ground with no luck. Anyone have any other ideas what could cause my ABS light/ Stabilitrak warning to come on?

Initially After cycling the ignition the light went off. Drove about 15-20 miles and the traction control light flickered then Service Stabilitrak popped up

Not sure if you've solved the problem here.  But I'll add that this situation is happening with me right now.  I did a fresh oil change and a full gas filler-up, decided to add a little fuel additive (Additech).  That evening the family all loaded up to go out. The roads were very wet and there was a slight drizzle.  About a mile onto the HW going 65MPH, my truck starts to feel like it is struggling to maintain speed.  Felt like I had four flat tires pulling an RV uphill.  I pulled over check tires, all were good.  No dash lights were lit up.  Hopped back in and started driving and almost wrecked trying to get up to speed to merge back on the HW.  I took the next exit and barely made it to the gas station.  When I pulled in, all I had to do was take my foot off the accelerator and the truck stopped immediately as if brakes were being applied already.   Just prior to pulling in the station, my DIC was flashing the Stabilitrak dissabled message and the "T/C" light on the instrument panel was lit up. 
 

Left the truck there overnight and had it towed home the next day.  Decided to start it up and put it into gear; Drive, Rev, Drive, Rev...   The lights on the DIC dissapeared so I drove it around the hood for a slow mission and everything seemed normal.  I'm at a loss for what happened other than to think that the fuel additive somehow confused the brain to think the truck was receiving more power than normal and communicated this to the EBCM which was probably compromised because of wet roads.   Sounds like a wild assumption but the more I read up on the Stabilitrak and Traction control in relation to fuel delivery, it makes sense.  Couple this with the code it registered

    • Average Assembly 4.8%   That's the likelihood of a light duty vehicle reaching 250,000 miles. Link below has the stats on this. Among pickups the 350 series (Dodge)  and higher (450 Ford) are most likely and nothing American built in the lighter trucks pegs a number higher than the overall average.  200K and up is the stomping grounds of Asian vehicles. Toyota Sequoia the leader at 39.1% probability.      https://www.autoweek.com/news/a68886903/vehicles-most-likely-to-last-over-250000-miles/   Likelihood drops dramatically at 100,000 miles of reaching even 150,000 miles. 250,000 is deep in the tail of the curve.    I've been told by the 'experts' that I don't need oils of the caliber I use. My high viscosity is damaging my motors. Ash content it to high and WILL foul plugs and kill cats and O2's. I don't need that much ZDP; my choice is over added and not cutting edge. I change it to often. I baby them to much.    Three Honda's reached 200K + and none used oil. All Red Line motors. All sold to friends or family. One Toyota reached 300K using oil, Pennzoil. Dizzy 300K using QSUD until it cashed the rings at 80K then whatever but often ever since. Did you know this engine still sports the OEM timing chain and is dead silent? Pepper spitting into the wind short of 200K, Red Line and changed often. Uses zero oil. A HPFP and a pinion seal. Still using most parts it left Fort Wayne with. So 50% of my vehicles have gone past 250K and 100% of the last half dozen past 200K. Of these two using "shelf oils' did so using abnormal oil and the four that used a premium boutique oil did not. There might be something there the experts have missed. 🤔                
    • i dont know where you been reading...they make a top notch product..people say lots of great things about them..yes it can be difficult to get a hold of them when you need help sometimes put when  you do it is great service...   as for the actual question at hand i have the ccv mod and i vented to atmos in my case...I got my ccv from somewhere else but i have plenty of VSE product...for starters i use their tuning on my 22 duramax
    • It's not that it sits for extended periods. I drive it every couple of weeks. However, I did consider draining the DEF and replacing it.    Don't you get a "Poor quality DEF warning" if its bad?
    • Try draining the def and relacing with new if it has been sitting for a long time. Def does go bad after a little while.
    • Thanks @Viktorrocks15 if you are still out there.   I followed your instructions and worked out great, went to the scrap yard and procured 2016 escalade cluster, hud, bezel, and switch. Got lucky and found a Camaro in the u-pull with the HUD bezel.   I made my own harness with these diagrams: https://www.gmupfitter.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/23_Escalade_Escalade_ESV_Electrical_Body_Builder_SM_en_US_2022OCT25.pdf   I used escalade cluster because its the best one that will work IMO. Still need to get it programmed but it looks really good.
