So I have been working on an 07 4.2L 4x4 Trailblazer.
It has DIC which my 06 does not and it is pissing me off because the warning it puts forth makes you question if the truck is about to blow up or what since it dings and flashes messages. Bothers me, because it drives perfect. No noises, no braking issues, no weird tendencies. Just has a dashboard lit up like a christmas tree.
Some background...
No TPMS sensors in truck and light is on for that. Debating if getting some is worth, but don't think it should cause all the other lights.
Truck has had rearend and front hubs replaced. Since this issue has always been there, I started with removing and cleaning/checking sensors. Rear were nasty coated, but cleaned them and unhooked battery for a bit. Lights were off for 10 minutes then it went spastic again.
Unhooked battery several times without any help.
Scanguage shows no pending or active codes.
Brakes all look good and feel good. Newer D/S brakemotive setup with ceramic pads.
115K on truck.
Finicky splined disco, but should not cause these lights. Will be pulling apart and greasing since it is a newer replacement unit.
DIC dings and flashes SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM and something about Stabiltrak as well at every start up. Dash lights for both are lit.
When I had a log take out my front bearing sensor wire I got the same lights on my 06, but it does not have DIC so not sure if would have displayed same messages. However i replaced one of the hubs and tried swapping side to side to with no changes.
I do not care if the ABS/Stabilitrak/TPMS works, but really need the light to go off and the messages not to go nuts every startup so the female driver does not freak out.
Any ideas to try?
Can I remove fuse for ABS/Stabilitrak and just go without them?
Does the TPMS tie into these system and I need them?
Fairly frustrated, so any experienced advice is sought. Truck may get sold if can't be fixed, but know the value will be cut by the warning and lights even though it drives and handles great.
Thanks
