I've done lots of GM bearings mainly because there was bearing noise, but have done 2 really quiet bearings because the magnetic strip was gone. These were both front bearings so its not just the back ones. Install the new bearing with a good coating of anti-seize. I have customers who keep their vehicles a long time and have done some bearings twice. Years later the bearing will come out easy if it's slathered with anti seize compound.
I have a 2015 Impala Limited with 95 K. When I back out and turn Left, or brake into a left turn, the Service Stabilitrac and ABS comes on with power reduction. I usually feel a snagging in I think the left front hub. The f'n Used Ford dealer I bought it from's mechanic told me it was a Wheel Beaing issue, but he never did fix it right. I have a feeling it is a bad L front circular Magnetic Strip Sensor you mention above. I have managed to keep driving by stopping and parking, and doing a restart, which would clear the Traction Control lights, and probably dislodge the strip when a stopped and parked it. Now It's gotten worse, and I can't get the lights to turn off. If the Magnetic Strip Sensor is bad, can it be replaced alone, or does the whole hub assembly have to be replaced?

same problem 2014 malibu (POS) car! Parked on Sun night no problem, got in it Monday all lights came on ABS Service STABILITRAK and the little car skidding! WE checked all wheels cleaned sensors and did notice on back left the magnetic stip with part of it missing...so THIS is it? which if i understand will be the bearing to be replaced correct? and hopefully all the lights will go out once replaced? Your video and answers are on it! Thanks.
Twice I got the Stability Trak warning. But it went away by itself, the problem is that now the tire that is behind the driver's side when you brake something hard gets stuck, what can I do? I am from Mexico trying to communicate with you to know if you think it could be this failure of what you mention, no workshop can find the problem. I don't have any light on or abs, nothing, also, it is worth mentioning that if the tire is immobilized, then you step on the brake several times, it comes off, the tire moves forward again, but I want to not struggle any suggestions? I have already asked for enough money 😢, already changed front brake pads, rectified discs, purged all the tires and nothing, now they told me to change the brake pump to see if it is solved, because the brake was also sinking a lot, so they filled and purged, but it remained the same. It is malibu 2013, comes from the snow, if this little rust from below. I ask you please for an opinion. Thank you!
I’ve had the same issue last year pass front side but took to shop to had it fixed. Well of course it happened again but no surprise had it since new and everything is original. I have time to fix myself so my question is how do I know which one needs fixed? I hope you could answer
I have a 2016 Chevrolet Malibu lt my stabilitrak and abs light is on it has almost 52 k miles. It only comes on when it rains hard. During dry sunny days it goes off.
Steve Roehl yes I have they have the same design bearing. I have seen one issue recently with the sensor have to much air gap between the sensor and the bearing. What caused it was the bearing had so much corrosion and dirt it wore down the sensor rubbing on it. Look for that to you should be able to see visible signs on The sensor
Liftittotheroof thank you. There is a tech bulletin for a shield to stop corrosion and dirt from getting in the bearing. Go figure they fucked up and we're paying for it. I was a tech for GM for 28 years and saw this shit everyday.
I have 13 Malibu too. The abs light came on, stable track error and now the brake light stays on. I got 74k miles.. Chevy shouldn't have won all the awards or at least not for malibu... the brake sensor alone is 536..crappy
If you scan the abs module with a scan tool it will tell you which wheel is having problems. If you dont have a scan tool the only thing you can do is visually inspect the back side of the bearing and see if the strip/ tone ring is damage on all your wheels. Definately the harder way but it will keep you from paying diag fees.
@@space_mans I just changed my radiator and added a hayden transmission cooler (677) this week. Coolant looked milky when I drained it; guessing the transmission line broke inside it. Last year, drained and filled trans fluid a couple times, and added lucas transmission slip fluid (amazing stuff). This made a huge difference. Hoping new radiator & cooler smooths the rest out. (Transmission work pricing has gotten the ‘pandemic double’ this year; need to avoid that)
Got a question. I replaced my wheel bearing, and put grease all over the ring , can that be the problem? Will I have to buy another wheel bearing??? PLEASE HELP ME OUT
I would try to remove the grease as soon as possible. This could absolutley be the problem. You can not have anything on or covering that ring because that's what the sensor get it reading off of. I get why you put grease on it but keep in mind grease will attract dirt and other material and stick In the grease. I don't know if the bearing will be damaged the sooner you clean it the better your chances are.
I dont know for sure but if your abs and traction lights are on could be caused by the same thing. Fix your abs light if you have one first then proceed if the light doesnt go out
Hello, i have a question just had my left rear hub and ABS speed sensor changed by Certified Chevy dealership, the next day the same light came on i took it back to the dealership and they said it is now my left front sensor and hub. What are the chances this can happen back to back ? and do you recommend changing the hub and sensor or could i just change the sensor ? 2013 Mailbu eco
It seems kinda of weird the next day makes me think maybe they replaced the wrong one. But on a side note as a mechanic I have seen this happen and also have been in this situation with customers as long as you feel they are trustworthy then yes it could be legit. The rear wheel bearings are the only one you have an option of changing the sensor. The front bearing come with the sensor so you have no choice. Chances are you didnt have to change the rear sensor unless they saw damage or corrosion on the terminals
@@liftittotheroof1876 there was the same thing that you showed in the rear where it had that flaking so the sensor wasn't reading it. So they said it had all had to be e changed. Any ways thank you for the feedback it makes me feel a little better
Yes, this can happen I have a 14 Impala and just had to have a rear wheel bearing replaced today. I would like to strangle whoever designed the car for tying the power steering system in with the abs.
Yeah, mine just did this. Wish we could just glue on another ring. Why isn't GM fixing this for free due to it being a poor design? How many labor hours to replace it? I see that the parts store sells the hub just north of $100 but don't want to get ripped off on labor.
Should be around 1hrs labor. They come out hard often times because the steel and aluminum corrod together I just use a BFH (big f***en hammer) and it will loosen up.
I have a 2014 Chevy Malibu 2.5 and the service stabllitrak code is coming up but when I get the 02 scan P0068,P0101 and P0106 all MAP/MAF sensor problems I change the MAF sensors already

Appreciate it man. Parents almost got charged 1k for this same shit. Saved money for sure
Definitely should be a recall on this common problematic reoccurring on CHEVY cars and trucks!!

Use that Diagnostic s*** i have no clue what it's called but
It can Tell U which Abs sensor needs to be Repair to which Wheel hub
I have a 2016 Chevrolet Malibu lt my stabilitrak and abs light is on it has almost 52 k miles.
It only comes on when it rains hard. During dry sunny days it goes off.
Update: had car diagnosed and it was broken sensor wire
thanks for the help
Have you ever experienced this with a 2013 Malibu yet? My ABS light is on with a code for the left rear speed sensor.
Steve Roehl yes I have they have the same design bearing. I have seen one issue recently with the sensor have to much air gap between the sensor and the bearing. What caused it was the bearing had so much corrosion and dirt it wore down the sensor rubbing on it. Look for that to you should be able to see visible signs on The sensor

How do know which one it's the one with the problem??

If you dont have a scan tool the only thing you can do is visually inspect the back side of the bearing and see if the strip/ tone ring is damage on all your wheels. Definately the harder way but it will keep you from paying diag fees.
Can a bad tone ring somehow be related to a rough idle and rpm surge when the weather is 85-90°?
its wild you'd mention this because I'm having the same problem in this hot summer.
@@space_mans I just changed my radiator and added a hayden transmission cooler (677) this week. Coolant looked milky when I drained it; guessing the transmission line broke inside it.

Can this causes power reduce?
Good question
What’s the name of the sensor? ABS sensor harness? I need to replace mine
The sensor comes as part of the bearing order a bearing and it will come on it
Got a question. I replaced my wheel bearing, and put grease all over the ring , can that be the problem? Will I have to buy another wheel bearing??? PLEASE HELP ME OUT

@@liftittotheroof1876 okay thanks man , I'll do it tomorrow after noon. I've been trying get it to run good I had so many problems back and fourth..
Damn bro thanks, how much should I expect to pay for repair?
I would say under 300 depending on your shops rate
Thanks a lot man👍🏾
Liftittotheroof do u know anything about the break assist light
I dont know for sure but if your abs and traction lights are on could be caused by the same thing. Fix your abs light if you have one first then proceed if the light doesnt go out
Liftittotheroof yea the Abs and traction lights are on.. okay I’ll stay with that first.. thanks again

You think it’s the same problem would occur with the 2014 Chevy impala
It's very possible but I am not 100% sure if that model has the same style bearing.
Yes, this can happen I have a 14 Impala and just had to have a rear wheel bearing replaced today. I would like to strangle whoever designed the car for tying the power steering system in with the abs.
But this add a new one or you put the one back in
Jakens Dieudonne new wheel bearing

Ok. Thanks much for the info!
even if the hub is good you have to change the whole think.... ?
Agustin Sartiaguin yes the wheel bearing/hub are sold as one assembly
C0050 code on mu malibu changed the abs speed sensor abs stabilitrak light is on
I have a 2014 Chevy Malibu 2.5 and the service stabllitrak code is coming up but when I get the 02 scan P0068,P0101 and P0106 all MAP/MAF sensor problems I change the MAF sensors already
But why would them vids make the service stabilitrak code to come up
which scan tool did you use?
So for this one I didn't have a good scan tool to monitor any data only to pull a code it was a very old snap on scan tool.
