Had it fixed under warranty once, out of warranty now and dealer wants to bone me $300 to replace sensor. Anyone know where the sensor is? I'm gonna search you tube when I get home.

Are you talking about the steering positioning sensor? Mine went out in my CTS and I need to change it. The frequent alert on the screen and random activation of the ABS annoys the piss out of me. I found a DYI thread online and will likely do it myself soon. The part is $80.

Not sure if it's the same thing. I'll take a pic next time light comes on.

My nav screen will say "stability system engaged" for a few seconds.

Do you know what code it has, will help lead you to the right sensor. I do alot of steering position sensors on gmc trucks.

Sorry, I don't. I could buy a code reader, but if there's more than one I'm probably stuck paying the dealer. :(

Tip:

•When reusing a steering wheel position sensor, you must install a pin into the sensor before removal or the sensor will lose its centered position and must be discarded. The pin diameter must be in the range of 1–2 mm.
•A new steering wheel position sensor will come with a pin installed in the sensor. The steering wheel position sensor will already come centered, DO NOT remove the pin until the steering wheel position sensor is properly seated.
•During installation the steering wheel position sensor must be set with approximately 3 mm gap between it and the bearing adapter.

Thanks, it looks over my head now. I'm ok fixing things I can visualize working, but when it comes to electronics I've learned I can spend more $ changing parts till I get it. I thought it was a single sensor that controls braking in slippery conditions.

I still haven't got around to doing mine and its been getting rather annoying. I'm going to tackle it this weekend. Once in a while the rear brake will lock up and almost put me in another lane. No bueno! lol I did finally change out all my rotors last week though. Now the car stops much smoother.
