    My 2011 GMC Sierra does the same. Only in the cold weather though, stuck in park and no brake lights. Going to work in the cold mornings the ABS lights come on. In the afternoon coming home no issues. Going to change the brake light switch , looks to be the problem.

    My 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 would show SERVICE STABILITRAK , TRACTION CONTROL, and the ABS light in the mornings when its cold (Michigan). Also the cruise control never worked. I replaced this and the cruise control worked instantly. We will see in the morning if the other lights come back on. Thank you!

    I having a issue if you get this. I have a 2010 Chevy Tahoe. The traction control and stabilization come on. Now the steering wheel functions are not working. Turn signals, bright lights, cruise control, radio. On the rear the all 3 brake lights stay on. Have not had a problem with shifting from park to drive. I did change the brake switch didn’t work. Changed the bcm and still doing the stay thing. Yesterday come across your video. Used a voltage meter. On orange/white 0.97 volts. Purple 0.97 but when you press the brake down the voltage go to 0.00. Do you have a idea what might be going on. Thank you

  • @EXOVCDS

    Weird switch setup... how's it changing the signal? Hall effect of some kind? It's moving with the pedal... but pivoting in relation to the booster rod causing the signal change?

    • @throttlebottle5906
      @throttlebottle5906 6 лет назад

      the brake booster arm hole is oblong/stretched circle and the pedal itself has a return spring, so hitting the brakes pushes the pedal shaft and switch body forward some letting the rod end push into the switch and button, before it starts pushing the rod.

    • @throttlebottle5906
      @throttlebottle5906 6 лет назад

      also, I haven't torn apart a brake switch in ages, but I'm sure it's either just spring contacts or slide contacts inside.

    • @robinsonsauto
      @robinsonsauto  6 лет назад +1

      Thank you for the feedback. I tried to mix in a little of everything to show the options.. its hard during real time troubleshoting to go slower I do apologis. But really the only thing we used that wasn't old school was the Autel but on these cars a code is critical/key information. however we retrieve it... Doesn't need to be a 3k scanner we can do the same with much less.
      Testing the switch we went pretty old school :) oscilloscopes are very handy and have been around before me. We could do this with a test light as well.. many options.. thanks again

    have to love it, junktronics failing so often, all the 70's, 80's and early 90's vehicles I had went to scrap yard with original brake light switches, rusted out or wrecked into mostly.
    everything has something in common now, China or Mexico......

    Thanks for the video! Have you thought about the "Automotive" firmware 'upgrade for your Micsig? I believe it's ~199.00. The problem for me is that once you update the firmware apparently you can't go back to a general scope.

    People should check there brake lights are working every so often (not really just that, look at your wing mirror and see if they light up it's not that hard, you can get 3 points in the uk for no brake lights as there is no excuse for not knowing they are not working, I assume USA have some sort of fine for it) but I say that and people are driving with DLRs only (dash is lit up on new cars when lights are off so they think lights are on, I wish car manufacturers would follow GM and make lights set to automatic as the default position)
