Stabiltrak light/ 07 trailblazer 4x4 4.2L

[jlahood]

Hello,
First time posting here. Great site.
My stabilitrak light comes on intermittently. It comes on when I first start moving forward. Today had to run to the hardware store. Drove 8 miles to town with no light on. Came out and as soon as I rolled a few feet forward the light came on. If I stop the vehicle and restart it the light will go off.
Sometimes it doesn't come on for days. Other times it will come on a couple times a day, again when I first start to move. What would cause this. I replaced the drivers side hub, lower ball joints and tie rod ends this past fall.

Steering wheel position sensor I believe. Its in the steering column.

Silvernclean,
Thanks for your reply. Is there any kind of write up or pics on it I can check out?

That particular issue must be on the top 5 list of issues on our 360's that came with stabilitrac. I have seen a full write up with pictures on how to change it yourself but am not sure it made it over to this site.

Thanks. I will check to see if I can find it on the "other" site.

There are only threads on this sight but no how-to's. I have the same issue but never got it fixed. It doesn't really bother me. U can be the first!! Good luck. Try getting a scan done just to make sure that's the prob. I am for sure it is tho.

I'm dealing with that issue too. It came on 3 times in last last 2-3 weeks. I did a little research. The code for the Steering wheel position sensor is C0455. The Stabilitrak/ABS codes are set/stored in the EBCM (electric brake control module), not the PCM. In order to check the code(s), you need scanner capable of reading Stabilitrak/ABS codes. Some of the chain auto parts have this capability and some do not.
I would start by getting the code read and see what you have.

Or just press your Onstar button and find out in 30 seconds while you are driving.
