I have a 2011 Impala. For years, on occasion when making a hard left from a stop, the Anti-lock will kick in for a second, even on a dry road. It never threw a code or warning. Lately though, it throws the triple warning (Stabiltrak, Brake Assist, and Traction control). The warnings go away upon a restart. Until it happens again, sometimes days/weeks later, and only on left turns. I'm sure I need this service done. Thanks for showing.
Man I gave ya a thumbs up because I'm sure this will help my 07 impala with engine power reduced & traction control light on. Can't wait till the sun comes up to try this
Hey bro thanks a lot, you’ve helped me with two problems that has been bugging the crap out of me & I couldn’t find anyone who knew how to fix them. You’re the man
Hands down this is the best tutorial for fixing this issue I have found, if i had a hoist for my car Id do it myself and save the cost of labor... going to show this to my repair guy and see if he will do this for me.
Not a good idea because if the wire is already damaged/broken in 1 place, it could easily be fatigued, corroded or already broken in other places. Plus the repair/splice kits aren't expensive and no one likes wasting more time and money having to fix the same issue more than once.
How did you know what side it was broken on? It’s winter In Michigan and gunna tear into mine very soon, is each code for a different side? Also couldn’t you have gotten away with just putting the old wires back together
Chris, what were the original symptoms. My 2013 Impala has a grinding noise when turning left from stopped or driving extremely slow. The traction control comes on each time. Every once and a while the traction control and ABS will lite up but then go away. For whatever reason, the dealership cannot recreate it.
So I need 2 of the hub harness from description? Amazon suggests 2 different harness as “frequently bought together”. Trying not to screw things up even more.
I have this exact problem with my 2013 impala. I'm a senior on a fixed income etc. I can't throw money at this and I'm concerned I'll be jerked around. Not to mention the dash lights are driving me insane. Where are you located?
You were right to be concerned...Chevy dealer did nothing but jerk me around after 4 service appointments.. Told me it was a vacuum leak and replaced my throttle body! Totally useless... Best part is I still have the problem!
Would a loose wire in the traction control cause the wheel to seize? For the last 5 years the front drivers wheel quickly seizes and releases and seizes and releases about 4 times. I have not been able to remedy this problem.
@@BrainFogDanellesReviews so right after I posted this comment about my impala I ordered new harnesses for both front wheels. 2 days later i was in an accident and my car was totalled. The parts arrived the day after. Lol
Hey bub hope all is well .I have a question .I have 2011 Impala ,I stopped at light I eccelerated my car made a TRRR sound then clunk ,I let the gas go then proceeded to accelerate again it was fine for a mile or so but then service traction popped up and loss of power,haven't moved it since .thank u
Thanks for sharing your videos, I was wondering have you ever had service traction control warning come up on a 2008 Chevy Impala, and engine power reduced ? What could it be? Thanks for your help.
Do you know the code? If not take it to your local parts store and have them scan it. Also if it is a P2138 (which it sounds like it could be) it's probably the APP.
Hey Chris, I was wondering if polarity would matter on the abs sensor and why if it does. I installed my new harness and realized that the wires are swapped.
I replaced my transmission speed sensor because transmission wouldn’t shift and speedometer wasn’t working , after replacing my transmission started shifting back normally but speedometer still isn’t working. I just noticed that the wire you replaced in your video is bad as well, do you think that could cause the speedometer to stop working ?
What does it mean my 2011 chevy impala LT engine off is hard as a rock with engine on no pressure at all and I put a new abs pump on it all the calipers all the way around been bleed can you tell what that is thanks
Hi I continuously get service traction control message in my 2009 Chevy impala. I took it to the mechanic and he said the code for it didnt show up in the inspection but be found the hub bearing on the right passenger side needs repair and that could be the real issue. Do you think that is the case? The abs light is also coming on. Also he said the engine mount is worn out now important is this to replace?
Well the parts are $30 a piece. If you have the tools already and you’re going to do the job yourself. $70 including a roll of tape and parts. If you’re going to let someone fix it. Depends on the labor rate and what they charge for parts. But it will be a 2 hour repair job at a shop + parts. So if the labor rate is 150 and they mark up the parts 100% you would be looking at $440 plus tax.
Great video but don't think this is my problem. Had my traction control sensor replaced as a recall on my 09 impala. Check engine light comes on now. Dealer says that's the traction control solenoid that needs to be replaced. That's $500 that's not part of the recall. So I need to know how to replace the solenoid.
@cdarnau I'm a bit confused. If it's a complete harness, wouldn't it plug into the module on one end, and the sensor on the other? Why solder? Not that I'm afraid to, I'm just wondering why.
@@cdarnau Ahh, Ok, that much is clear thanks. My brakes seem fine, but on occasion, they pulse as though the ABS is activating. If I take the pedal off, then reapply, it works fine, but I want to fix this mysterious problem. I'm thinking it may be this. I have gotten occasional "traction control" service alerts on the dash, but only rarely, and not while the care was moving. But no ABS system notifications.
It doesn't matter the color of the wire. Just the terminal location. So if the Yellow wire is on the left side of the connector and the Tan wire is on the left side of the original connector. Just wire the Yellow to the tan.
@@cdarnau they replaced it friday and all the lights went away. Drove for about 8 miles then all the lights started to come on again. Service stabilitrak, service traction control, engine power reduced then finally it went to throttle body shut down and car shut off on the freeway :/ Had to drive the car back home cause shop was closed. Turned on the car the next 2 days and still the same things except I didnt drive it too far didnt want it to go into shutdown. Come Monda and everything was fine no codes, right before i took it back to mechanic. Is that normal?
2:50 So is the POLARITY of sensor wires critical, or doesn't matter in this case? You'd think it was an AC voltage coming from a reluctance tone wheel.
Mrrsmtchll2 Stop supplying wrong info, brake pads and rotors have nothing to do with the ABS system. If the light is still on after replacing the ABS harnesses, his wheel speed sensors are likely at fault. In this case, he should pull the codes and replace the wheel bearings to the side that’s causing the ABS light.
@@boss4635 I changed my rotors and brakes after my ABS light started coming on because they were worn out. That fixed it and I haven't had a problem since. And if you know so much about how to fix the issue why did you have to resort to watching this video for help? You clearly don't know everything 🤷🏿♂️
My check engine light came on and service stabilitrak and service traction control on also. The box lights around the park and drive icons are off. I have to count the gears to get to drive. What could be the problem

You could do it from the ground easily. The hoist just helps your back. You can remove the airbox and wheel and get to it just fine.

Thank you for this. I have a '07 Monte Carlo SS. The ABS & Traction Control lights are annoying.
Great! Glad I could help! Make sure to Subscribe! It really helps the channel! Thanks again for watching!
Great video! I was wondering couldn't you just have soldered the broken wire back together instead of purchasing a new harness?
Not a good idea because if the wire is already damaged/broken in 1 place, it could easily be fatigued, corroded or already broken in other places. Plus the repair/splice kits aren't expensive and no one likes wasting more time and money having to fix the same issue more than once.
You could. But it normally breaks in the loop so if you were going to do replace it I would replace about 6in of the wire and solder it in.
its like $4.75 for harness ... lol
Is this more common in drivers side or passenger? What side are you doing in this video?
Great video been looking for solution for a year now after 2 repair shop couldn't. And one was chevy dealer.

Exact Same thing with mine too
Ray216 I’m hearing it’s most likely wheel bearing
@@tyreehampton3781 I have same symptoms just replaced both hubs today and same problem. Off to the dealer tomorrow will keep u posted.
Robert Hanson thanks!
How much should I expect to pay to have this repaired? Do you recommend taking it to a Chevrolet dealership or a local auto shop?
You should look at about 2 hours of labor at a dealership or shop to do this repair. So whatever their labor rate is X2.
Thank you so much. I've been losing my mind trying to figure this out

Where’s that sensor located ? Is thier just one or is it both left and right ?

Changed both the lights went away for a while but came back on could tire pressure sensor cause this?
No . TPMS is other sensor. Did you check the Hub's of thw wheel's?
Do you have to reprogram to New Abs traction control modular to your car
Not for this repair.
I replaced my transmission speed sensor because transmission wouldn’t shift and speedometer wasn’t working , after replacing my transmission started shifting back normally but speedometer still isn’t working. I just noticed that the wire you replaced in your video is bad as well, do you think that could cause the speedometer to stop working ?

150-200 for 1 side. 250 for both sides. You get it fixed? I am back? I try to help the people who SUBSCRIBE first!!
Thank you! Very informative. I will do this on my car later. Getting c0035 and c0040 so both sides in the front
Kevin Jessop it’s not more common one side to the other. I do both a lot. The one in this video is the driver side.
Ours said abs internal ram failure 😢 . Replaced the ABS computer with a used unit. Fingers crossed 🤞
I need mine to be fixed like that 2 I got a 2007 Chevy Malibu

Hi I continuously get service traction control message in my 2009 Chevy impala. I took it to the mechanic and he said the code for it didnt show up in the inspection but be found the hub bearing on the right passenger side needs repair and that could be the real issue. Do you think that is the case? The abs light is also coming on. Also he said the engine mount is worn out now important is this to replace?
Plenty of people with this problem spend hundreds on hub bearings just for the problems not to be fixed
@@deefootwork_ i know i received the c0035 code and the sensor is attached to the hub, yup, not fixed...changing harness this weekend...
Is there one on each side or just one?
Both sides
I am having this issue and my passenger side wiring harness is damaged.
What is the GM part number for that harness?
amzn.to/2X2RlDa will work on both sides.
So, how costly I s this to repair??
Well the parts are $30 a piece. If you have the tools already and you’re going to do the job yourself. $70 including a roll of tape and parts. If you’re going to let someone fix it. Depends on the labor rate and what they charge for parts. But it will be a 2 hour repair job at a shop + parts.

Great video but don't think this is my problem. Had my traction control sensor replaced as a recall on my 09 impala. Check engine light comes on now. Dealer says that's the traction control solenoid that needs to be replaced. That's $500 that's not part of the recall. So I need to know how to replace the solenoid.
I have never heard of a traction control solenoid. Could you get the part number from the dealership and let me look it up.
It has to be soldered? It can't be plugged in anywhere? What's at the far end of the harness?
No, It is made as a complete harness. I guess you could run it from the EBCM to the wheels but you would still have to solder the terminals in.
@cdarnau I'm a bit confused. If it's a complete harness, wouldn't it plug into the module on one end, and the sensor on the other? Why solder? Not that I'm afraid to, I'm just wondering why.
@@stellijer When you crimp your terminals at the connector you need to put a drop of solder on then so they don't come loose.

How would i go about wiring the passenger side? Does the yellow and blue matter because its tan and dark green for the passenger side
It doesn't matter the color of the wire. Just the terminal location. So if the Yellow wire is on the left side of the connector and the Tan wire is on the left side of the original connector. Just wire the Yellow to the tan.
