Stabilitrac Psroblems

[LAGA]

I am not a big fan of traction control and stabilitrac to begin with, and now it is acting up. Four or five times in the past two weeks I will be coming to a stop at around 15 to 20 mph with my foot on the brake, on dry flat pavement, and first, the stabilitrac light will come on with the warning bell and then I get a stabilitrac off message and then a traction control off message in the DIC. Anybody else ever have this happen?

well i didn't have that exact problem but it just wouldn't turn back on. and it turns out that it was a bad battery..

 

 

It had a voltage drop below what it should have been, sounds like that is your problem. as you are coming to a stop the motor and everything is slowing down IE alternator. so when it drops off the battery should pick up the difference. if the battery is low or has a dead cell it will not stay above the set parameters which i think is 10.5 volt. i forget exact. But that is where i would start

Had that happen once off-road about a year ago going down a steep dirt hill. Traction control and stabilitrac use the ABS sensors and the ABS was acting up as I was using the brakes. I turned it back on later and it never happened again.

 

ABS just plain sucks off road, but these newer trucks are getting much better at dealing with it.

 

I your case since it's happening on dry pavement, I would get it checked out by a dealer.

Took the truck out this mourning and the CEL came on. Will definitely be going back to the dealer Tues.

Traction control will keep you going and in icy/snowy conditions and stabilitrac will keep you from a possible rollover or unintended off road excursion. It can save your life.

Ya I had it happen once but it wasn't on pavement. I was driving on a bad lease road...washboard and very muddy and I wasn't babying it either. The Stabilitrac light came on and wouldn't work for awhile. Later on, driving on pavement the light went off and I never had problem again. I figured it was due to the build up of mud around sensors and wheels.

Hey nice truck WilliamsVMAX. what color? Silver Birch Mat? or Steel Gray Mat? If you have any high res pictures please PM to me or post. Did you notice any performace difference when upgrading to the slightly taller tires?

 

The truck I want is looking VERY similar to yours and VMAX2007.
