Did anyone ever find a fix for this? Mine still does it occasionally. I just try to ignore it. But I would like to get it fixed at some point.

Looking for a potential remedy for this as well. I have two downhill left turns on my daily drive and it happens every time on both turns.

See if water is getting inside the ABS control module.  A guy on another forum discovered this, his acted up only on left turns when the water sloshed to that side of the board and shut down his brakes and worked fine while driving straight or turning the other way.

Worth a shot. Any idea where the ABS module is located on these rigs?

Not specifically on yours.  It's likely attached to the driver's side frame rail and probably not far from the ABS pump.

Hello,

It has been 2 years since anyone has responded to this topic.  Has there been a fix?

My 2019 5500 has started the traction control light coming on going into turns and curves above 25 mph.  When light comes on, power is restricted until you let off accelerator, then there will be a delay then a noticable shift and then you can accelerate again.

Dealer tech thought a hub adjustment would take care of it.  No fix now they are reaching out to GM for help.

 

I told the Service Rep who wanted me to pay $600 to make these adjustments, that it wasn't going to be as simple as making some adjustments.  I was correct!  Thanks to this forum, I was educated.

 

If there is a solution to the problem, please help us.  Thank you!

Also, for those who might be experiencing this currently...

I did find that turning the traction control off using the switch on the dash.  The light no longer comes on nore do you get reduced power.  I read in a different thread that holding the button for 3 seconds will disable it.

This is not a permanent fix, but it will allow you to have acceleration power to climb hills when pulling a load.

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By teamjnz · Posted

      I just purchased a 2004 Tahoe with 148,******. I used to have a 2006 Suburban that had the push button Auto 4X, 2Hi, 4Hi and 4Lo. When checking out this truck I noticed it had push button but didn’t focus on it. After the purchase when driving home, this is when I noticed it was different and after a little research found out it has the AWD stabilitrak system. I don’t live in an area that requires AWD. I bought the truck to start a new adventure in life with off roading, now that the kids are all grown up. I purchased the truck knowing it didn’t have the G80 rearend but plan on re-gearing to drive on 33s or 35s and upgrade with a rear locker and still be able to tow when needed. Blah Blah Blah Anyway I know am thinking about converting the stabilitrak  to Z71. I know I will have to replace the transfer case. So now the information gathering stage is happening to see if it is worth it. Is the front AWD stabilitrak differential different when compared to a non-AWD front diff? Will I need a completely different front differential or can it be converted? What else should I be considering? I did see something in a video for GMT900 platform with removing the ABS fuse that disables the stabilitrak and turns the truck into a 2 wheel drive. Would that work in the GMT800 platform?
