    Just wanted to put this disclaimer out. I'm not a certified mechanic by any means. As seen in the comments, this fix helped some people and didn't help others. If this fix didn't help please consult with a certified mechanic. Thank you for all the thankful comments. For the people who are still having issues, I'm sorry but I don't know of a fix for those as I have not experienced them.

      J Gary Sorry for the bother again i always try to save money as well and do research,that's how I came across this video, Do you think it'll fix the problem on a 2011 chevy impala... i dont have the problem where its stuck on park but Service brake, service stabilitrak, and service traction control message

    • @JGTV21
      @JGTV21  8 років тому +1

      Evermk Catalan you can give it a try. when the symptoms of my avy started, it was just the lights. It wasn't till a few months later I had the shifting problem and flickering brake lights which caused me to change the switch and when I did it fixed all the problems. So you could give it a try. Best of luck

    I've been struggling with this exact problem with my 2007 Avalanche for more than 5 years. It was happening once or twice per year, and I paid a lot to get it fixed, and then it started happening again and finally got to where it was happening 5 times per day! My mechanic charged me another $1500 to fix it, and the error came back the next day. Exasperated, I found this video, and changed out the brake switch myself. Worked like a charm. Thank you!!!!

    Did this fix last Friday. Cost me $16.00 and 10 minutes of time. I've been hating driving my 2008 Silverado because I didn't have any Cruise Control. Not anymore. Now that this is my daily driver(no more work truck) I'm fixing this sucker up.
    Thank you so much!

    Hello i know this is older video but i have a 2007 chevy Tahoe 4wd with 80k miles around 68k miles i got the "Service 4wd soon", service stabiltrack," service abs" and it will not go onto 4wd and 4wd switch would not light up. I have been been to my trusted mechanic he checked everything and said just drive it! Ok but when i hit 80k i was like shit i got to fix this or im gonna sell it " (NOTE my cruise control and shifter works fine.). I was told horror stories of 900 to 1200 dollars with dealer wanting to replace transfer case!!! Well i figured i start with the easiest. Your fix cost me 22 dollars and less than 5 minutes. And WAPOWW!!!! Fixed no message and 4wd knob working!!!I cannot thank you enough!!!! You are the man.

    I was very concerned, because at the dealer they wanted $ 175.00 per light checked, so I decided to do a little research and I came a cross this video on youtube. so i called napa auto parts and payed $ 15.07 for the switch and to my surprise it WORKED!!! So thaks a million.

    Two days ago my 2011 Silverado started displaying error messages about 4 wheel drive, traction control, and stabilitrak every so often. I Googled and found this video.
    Today I went to O'Reilly's and got the part for $21.99 + tax and on my way home, my cruise control shut off and the error messages started displaying again!
    When I got home, I spent about 10 minutes from start to finish changing the brake light switch. No error messages since!
    Thank you for posting this video!!!

    I have a yukon gmc 2007, the stabilitrack and service traction control came on when driving. I also had a low oil light coming on and lost cruise control. My brake lights were staying on as well. I changed the brake light switch myself. It solved the problem. I also disconnected the battery while changing it to reset the warning lights. It took 15 minutes and $20 for the part. Thanks for the video.

    My lights just came on today on my 2009 avalanche. Every once in a while my truck won’t let me shift out of park. It’s rare that it happens, but it did just do it a couple of days ago. I was going to put my truck in the shop in the morning but thought I might try to find a fix on UA-cam and the very first video I watched was this one! I’m going to buy the part and hopefully fix my issue as well! I have a cross country trip planned at the end of month and didn’t want to put it on the highway with any service issues... thanks for the helpful video!

    Man let me tell you my cruise control hasnt worked since about 3 months after owning the same truck you have and this morning the same warning lights came on and caused me to have no gas due to engine power lowered warning as well and after watching this video i took your advice and WHAT! (like LIL JON would say) The cruise control worked and the warning went away. Gary thanks a lot for this video man love my avalanche

  • @Anonymous-it5jw
    @Anonymous-it5jw 6 років тому +4

    This is a great tip and a cheap, quick fix if your truck uses this part. As he says, the brake switch controls a lot of things and should not be overlooked as the source of your problems if you have any of the error messages he shows. However, if you have a 2010 or later Equinox, it is a real bear to get to and change the brake switch. You will need to get a manual or find a video on UA-cam to guide you, if you decide to tackle this on a vehicle that does not have an accessible brake switch. You will also need an adequate set of smaller tools that will let you get to fasteners in small spaces.

  • @rura12

    Thank you so very much for this video/info. 2008 Acadia, 2 dealer trips, etc.....same symptoms, "service stability, traction control off", and pulsating brakes on start up. Saw your video, went to the local auto parts store and picked up the brake pedal position sensor, around $20, installed in under ten minutes! Works good so far.......The only thing is, my particular part looked a bit different, but provided the same function.Thanks again.

  • @oldfart8501

    Gary, I have 2007 avalanche and had the same problem. Although brake switch was not my problem, your video made me think in a different direction and it was my accelerator pedal potentiometer that was faulty. problem solved. During the process i discovered that any item that feeds into the central computer and is faulty will give same warning together with reduced power.

Although my all that would come on I could still drive with no problem. My cruise control stopped working also.

    thanks for the video! I have a 2008 GMC Sierra and this 100% fixed my problem. several videos & people said that it's a wheel bearing problem, but both my front wheel assemblies have been changed & the lights never came on when either side went bad & the hub assemblies are $180.00 a pop and that's if you install them yourself! the brake light switch cost me $18.02 at O'Reillys & like you say in the video it might have taken me 5 minutes to change so saved me a lot of money & time (thanks again) Jim gross.

    Hi J Gary. I have a 2007 Chevy Uplander. I don't have problems with brake lights or shifting from park so far, but the dash lights keep telling me to service traction control and service stability system. Was the Uplander was one of the vehicles that has this problem too? Thank you.

    This is a great fix, and will often solve this condition.
    But it also may not change anything, The problem can also be in the Ignition switch, the steering position sensor ( Both reasonably cheap), and occationally the very expensive Throttle Boddy

    You are THE FIRST person whom I have come across after months of on again, off again research on this exact issue who has even bothered to call attention to this particular gizmo which, until just a few minutes ago, I had no idea even existed.
    If replacing this little doo-dad actually DOES fix the 'Service StabiliTrak' issue that I've been having on my 2012 Camaro when I try it in a week or two, I will straight up fly right back to this video's page and grovel incessantly as I kiss it's feet and offer up the soul of my as-of-yet still unborn firstborn child...

    ...orrrr, perhaps I'll just write another post stating that it REALLY DID TOTALLY WORK, and stuff...

    reduced power comes on due to computer thinking the traction control or stabiltrak is faulty and hence reduces power for your safety. thanks again Gary, i was suffering with this for months and to make things worse it was intermittent. Garages here will not point you in this direction and most,even cheverolet, dealers do not know how to diagnose it. you should post on the chevy forums as its a popular subject that has no conclusion in most cases.

Would the same fix apply in our case to your knowledge or could this be another issue? Thanks so very much in advance for your assistance, Sir.

    Number 1. >If you have a 2008 chevy or pontiac and have problems with stabiltrak and the engine light coming on, the problem is your EGR valve. I bought one from autozone and put it in> Engine light went off but stablitrak stll kept coming on. End result, the EGR valve needs to be a factory replacement and not one from autozone or similar. I had chevy dealer check new EGR valve from autozone and it showed bad. The problem is the resistance in any other EGR valve vs the factory one is higher and that impacts the electrical system and the stablitrak light. Once I replaced factory EGR valve, I have had no problems with Stablitrak and engine light coming on.
    Number 2. > If you are having the problem in this video, losing power, GM came out with a factory update on November 15, 2015 that all those vehicles need a new throttle -position sensor, that causes the malfunction ,engine light to come on and engine power reduced light to come on. If you have under 120,000 miles on your vehicle, they will fix it free.
