- Stability System Disabled / Service Stability message with DTC C0455 (bent terminals at the steering wheel position sensor)0
- Stability System Disabled message and unwanted StabiliTrak activation (tire wear or mismatched tires)0
- ABS lamp with DTC C0265 (EBCM motor relay circuit) after EBCM replacement0
- Throttle body carbon build-up: idle surge, reduced engine power, throttle DTCs (high mileage)0
- DTC P0446 set with the SES lamp on (replace the EVAP vent solenoid, not the canister)0
- CHECK OIL LEVEL message stays on after an oil change or top-off until the engine cools0

FaultCrate・GMC Yukon 2000–2006・Warning light, ABS light
Candidate cause (the documents say what to do)
Unwanted ABS activation at low speed (front wheel speed sensor mounting corrosion)
These vehicles may have a condition permitting corrosion to occur between the front hub/bearing assembly and the wheel speed sensor.
With the brakes applied between about 6 km/h (3.7 mph) and 16 km/h (10 mph), the corrosion may cause unwanted ABS activation.
What to do
- The reading should be at least 350 mV AC; if it is less, the wheel speed sensor must be replaced.
- If the sensor's mounting surface is warped or bent, the sensor must be replaced.
- Dealers remove the sensor, clean its mounting surface on the bearing, apply rust inhibitor and grease, reinstall it and check peak-to-peak output voltage.
- The passage heading states that the repair is cleaning the wheel speed sensor mounting surface.
- The recall procedure is to remove the sensor, clean the mounting surface, apply a rust inhibitor (Zinc-X) to the surface and reinstall the sensor; the sensor is replaced if necessary.
- GM's earlier recall procedure in Canada also included greasing the mounting surfaces and verifying that the wheel speed signal output voltages were within specification.
Caution: Do not pry the sensor out of the bore; prying breaks the sensor body off in the bore.
What is needed
- Parts and materials
- Wheel speed sensor (when the reading is less than 350 mV AC)
- Wheel speed sensor (when its mounting surface is warped or bent)
- Rust inhibitor (Zinc-X, applied to the mounting surface)
- Grease (applied to the mounting surface)
