This video is 5 years old and that dude is still wearing that same hat in his new videos!
Just fixed mine took me 2 months to diagnose and almost died on a 3 hrs trip yesterday before my mechanic spotted the issue. it was the Danm control arms and front driver wheel sensor. After installation lights went out didn’t even read code. Please do not ever ignore this traction light and abs light you can die. Especially on this makes of car.
Just did some digging, GM put out Special Coverage 15356 for the power steering sensor. However, since it is a special coverage and not a recall, the only way to see if it applies to your vehicle is by registering online. My car never had any symptoms until now and the coverage expired in 2021. I submitted a complaint to the NHTSA to make this into a recall so that people aren't paying out of pocket for something GM knows is faulty. If you have the same issue, please submit a complaint to the NHTSA. A quick google search will reveal the Special Coverage Instructions GM sent to all the dealerships 5 years ago.
I'm submitting a complain as well,mine just now is having this problem as well and is also a 2011 LT. This comment was very informative thank you
Would love to file a complaint. Had issues with the 2010 Malibu in March 2021. They told me that it wasn't on recall. Didn't know if filing a complaint would matter after the fact.
Great video. Not wasting one second of the viewer's time. I'm now a subscriber to your channel. Very clear, easy to understand, perfect pace. Your assistant made this all possible!
Thank you!
I'm having the same problem i was wondering how much is the sencor ??
Have a question have a 2012 Chevy Malibu and says service esc traction control and hear a gargle sound coming from the esc system like something wrong some out computer and said tcm module traction control module

Is the bearing the sensor ?
Any updates yet? Is it the sensor
@@Hebrew-Nation1 yes it is
@@ForgeWashington I believe this is what's wrong with my malibu. Both traction and abs light is on and I hear this weird noise by my rear end tire and I believe it's my wheel bearing
Thank you for this tutorial. I have a 2008 Malibu and both front wheel bearings are loud! Today I pushed the brake and service traction control came across odometer screen and pedal pulsated. Looks like I'm doing this soon. Cheers 🍻. Thanks!!
Exactly what's happening on my 2010.
How much you charge? Same year, make, model, code...How much can I expect to pay for this procedure?
Me too. How much u paid?
Any one fixed it? If so, how much
No one had ever seemed to fix it
The maker of this video hasn’t responded to a single comment
I have a 2010 chevy malibu ltz and my car keeps shaking and seems like it wants to lose power and the service traction and service esc come on but not the abs could this be the same problem. I have taken it to a mechanic that just changed one of the injectors and its still doing it and now the check engine light is on
Will you message me and tell me what the problem is please having the same issue .
@@chasesmith9714 first they changed an injector and kept doing same thing took it back again and they said it was the ABS changed and its fine now
Found this video after having the same issues. My code reader (a cheaper one) won't pull any codes up so i have no idea which one it is. Also in Northern Michigan 😎.
Same
Great video! I’m just now having this issue on my ‘09 Malibu. I’ll get it scanned and see which wheel hub it is. Big thanks for posting it!!
Thanks for watching!
How is it doing now?
I have this issue too 😭
Me too 😏
I have one question, when the original wheel speed sensor is out, will it also cause a malfunction to cruise control??? my malibu will automatically disengage cruise control after 10 secs. Nice video by the way, appreciate all the detail!
I see this is an old comment but yes the cruise control system relies on wheel speed sensors so if one of them is out you wont be able to use cruise. Hope this helps.
Mine is doing the same thing but it says service esc and power steering also and the wheel locks and doesn’t turn. any thoughts?
What if I have all new front end stuff? Could it be my 2 rear hubs? I just changed steering angle sensor also. My mechanic says he was unable to reset it. I hear it's dealership only
So did you buy and install a new wheel bearing assembly ? That was the fix? This is happening to my 08 HHR SS.
Yes
Has your battery light ever came on before this or has it ever died bc of this?
@@kingdavid4u1588 no it has not.
Do you know the part number or the sensor name I tried searching up abs sensor but that didn't work
you probably have it figured out by now, but the abs cord and sensor is attached to the wheeel hub.
I have a sensor issue in my RF tire currently in my 2010 Malibu. The stearing wheel locked up on me and I had a hard time getting it to the side of the road. I let the sensor issue go for a few months because i didnt think to much on it. Now my car is down. Message said Service ESC. But with mine, it won't even start back up now.
I've got same problem what did you do for yours
@@JamesWilliams-ip1dp Had to have the steering column removed to replace several parts in it. Was a bit cheaper than replacing the entire steering column.
@@JamesWilliams-ip1dp Malibu's are apparently notorious in seizing up mid ride. Either due to ECS malfunctions, Tire sensors going bad, and issues with the steering column locking up due to seizing. If it's a tire sensor issue that is causing the lock up, they can simply replace the sensor (somewhat flat tire can also cause the lock up). If it's an ECS issue, they would have to replace the ECS and possibly some damaged wire harnesses. If it's a steering column issue, simply replacing the steering column assembly should work.
@@JamesWilliams-ip1dp Could also be other issues.

-Will this cause my car to go into reduced engine power mode???
I think so my mom's car is starting to do the same thing. It's like the power shuts down and you can go over 5 mph
Did you get it fixed ? My car is doing the same
@@pjayroberts5969 it’s the throttle body
My car is doing the same thing and i can't find not one auto place that can fix this problem after spending tons on $$ trying to fix , I can't find not 1 person in this town that fixed this but charging me for other parts i dont need or making my car worst so i can keep coming back .
WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED ??😵
I'm located in Norther Michigan. You?
The best video so far
Best comment so far!
Everything but the ABS light is on on my car. What does that mean?
Well i changed my wheel bearing and my light is on but before i changed them my light was off i did the same thing the only problem i had was the wheel bearings we're so rusted on the car that it was stuck to the rotars and the circle spot that they go in because the previous owner never changed anything on the car i know this video is old but if you or anyone in the comments that had the same or similar experience happen to see this can you give me any other suggestions on what it could be the wheel bearings are new and before i changed them the light was off no check engine light is
on nether
Love the video. Does my Subaru have a similar system? I have an abs lamp on and I’m wondering if it could be a sensor also.
Thanks! Yes the Subaru is similar. Here is a link to my friend Shaun's channel. He works on Subaru vehicles all the time!

Did get stuck n my yard and tried getting out drive for a week and than starting going n safe mode shut car off. Now traction control service esc lights on dash but making noise under hood like motor kicking n the extra wheel but just gargle noise been sitting for a year or so haven’t had money to get towed let me know what u think can send u video thanks
Is the wheel bearing & wheel speed sensor the same thing ?
Is it?
Love the Father and Son video Thank you Thank you Thank you 4 years later I’m having this problem I have a 2010 Malibu an my monitoring tier sensor has been so I will tired this an see if that helps . I’ll update you once it’s done
Any update? I know it’s a year later
So, the little traction control light comes on every once in a while... is this something I should be worried about?
Very much so
Thanks!
Hello great video. I looked up the bearing for my Chevy Malibu 2011 and it looks different from the one u put on or am I seeing things? Yours with the wiring connected looked liked a shield

I wish I could talk to you on the phone one on one cause I'm owner of a 09' four cylinder
Very good video, it helped me out a lot with the abs lights and stability traction control system, thanks a lot for this video
Omg finally best video how much it cost me to fix labor and all
200 bucks total for me to do it. Search on facebook n message them . just search for - LUCAS COUNTY AUTO MECHANIC

Thanks!
Hi so I have a 2012 Chevy Malibu. Runs pretty good, only issue I have is that my traction light comes on after using the car for a while. And it says service esc. When I turn the car back on next time I use it, the lights gone. I’ve tried using the code reader before but when I start my car the lights never on. So there are no codes to read. Hope this was easy to understand and hope you see this. Thank you
Really you are the best thanks for your time.
My car has this problem pls right know can you fixed my car pls.
I am in st.cloud,Minnesota.
Thanks! I'm in Northern Michigan.
My car is doing this intermittently. I need my wheel hub replaced, could that have something to do with it? I also need new tires.
Did you get it fixed?
@@wrighthigh6966 I did and no longer have that car due to an accident
Mine says ESC off, service ESC, service traction, brake fluid. No abs my brake light is on my ESC light is on.
I have the exact same problem
@@ughminaa9078 my dad is actually checking it today. I'll let you know what comes out of it.
Thank you!
@@ughminaa9078 so my rear brakes were embarrassingly burnt lol my dad changed all my brakes and voila everything went away!
Can this abs sensor stop the transmission to go to third and fourth gear ?
Also sucscribed and thumbs up good videos man thanks
can you just purchase the sensor? or does it have to be the entire wheel bearing?
Its all one unit
My car started doing this in April of 2023..what a pos Chevy has built..bilking the customers for hundreds of dollars!
How much is this repair generally?
Knowing Chevy - a lot. Its crazy how they want to charge you JUST to do a basic diagnostics.
My car did the same thing yesterday, but it won’t start?
Teara Harris my girlfriend car did the same thing Did you find out what the problem was?
@@chasedadolla2479 sounds likes "alternator gone bad"
Thanks I have a 2009 exactly the same lights on
Oh ok I see now
I also have the same problem with my Malibu 2008 right now but I don't have the ABS light on, only the traction control light on only.. Could it be also a wheel hub or not? THANKS.
It’s possible. Have it scanned and see what code it’s throwing
Having the same problem. My abs hasn’t came on. The service traction is giving me problems. It keeps going on & off and shaking my car.
Gr8... I like ur vids but can u help with engine power reduced...?!
My brother has a 2009 Malibu. The codes showed RH bearing was causing the traction and ABS codes. Changed out the bearing twice. Same codes. When starting from stop or turning sharply the LH brake activates and the ABS and traction lights come on. The lights stay on for a few minutes and then go off?? Could this be a bad connection wire from the bearing to the computer? Help!
Sometimes the wires break inside their casing on the car side of the wiring harness. I’d bet that’s what’s going on with your brothers car.
Just kinda sucks they can't make a sensor that last as long as the cheap ass replacment wheel bearings they sell them on. Seriously.
Wah! Wah! 😂😂😂😂
I’ve changed both of my front wheel bearings and the esc traction light is still on...??? I disconnected the battery to try to rest but still pops up...maybe I bought bad wheel bearings??? What u think???
Could be your EBCM, I'm trying to track one down from a junkyard now myself.
Could also be a bad wiring mount for the ESC sensor.
Most likely no. Pins worn on the connector or the wiring cracked & brittle. Bulb grease on the connector helps after you clean it up. Also clips can break off & not make a connection.
My ABS light isn’t on it service traction and service esc light is on. I have a Chevrolet Malibu 2011, so could that still mean that it has something to do with inside the tire ?
Nicole Gainey lift car up turn wheel by hand!!! If it grinds its wheel hub!!! If not change spark plugs and air filter!!! You can also regap current spark plugs!!!
Low air or battery usually triggers a different code. Somebody took my sensors out of the system for the tires. Takes a high-end scanner to bypass them. Some places, this could be illegal.
my 09 Malibu has the same lights on and got a code for C0035 LF speed sensor. Replaced the hub but warning lights are still on, tried clearing the code but it just comes back on. Any idea what else it could be?
Sometimes the wiring harnesses on the car side will break internally. You can’t see it on a visual inspection. Usually happens where there’s a bend in the harness.
do you know where/what wires to look at specifically?
Wooow muchas gracias por compartir mi auto tiene el mismo problema que en carretera aparece el triangulo y le quita velocidad. No hemos encontrado un buen mecanico que le arregle el problema estamos en Sonora Mexico pero ya nos dimos cuenta cual es el problema gracias...
yo estoy en phoenix az y tengo este mismo carro si tienen mas problemas con el mandeme un mensaje talvez yo los pueda ayudar
@@shibelon602 yo ocupo ayuda porfavor
Cuales codigos agaro?
Is this drivable for a short distance?? Please tell me yes
I replaced the front wheel bearing, disc rotor and break pads and it’s still not fixed.
Thanks. Great video, with helpful tips and a quick diagnosis. Out of curiosity, what were the torque values on the main bearing nut, and on the two caliper mounting bracket bolts which attached that bracket to the steering knuckle. On some GM models, those torque values are very high. Thanks again.

the trick to making good videos is editing. Please try HARDER to make better videos.
Thanks for the feedback! I’m working at getting better. I find the editing difficult and time consuming but I’m starting to figure it out.
Wisy dad would have taught me to work on cars. Not sure if this something this novice can do. May have to find someone to help me out
Hi I have the same car showing the ESC warning. GM service TSB says not to replace the HUB instead do a calibration. TSB NO 3512448 . U can get this from BBB. free
That's good info but this vehicle had no signal coming from the sensor, not an irregular signal. So the fix was to replace the unit. That's a great tip on the BBB though! I use them regularly for wiring diagrams!
the chevy dealership near me was going to charge me $750 to fix this issue... that is way too much, right??
way too much, i bet you can find a place that will doit for less than 750 and still do a good job.. good luck
I had the same exact issue on my 2009 Chevy Malibu hybrid. Ended up being the intake VVT solenoid. Super simple fix.
mines same year hybrid. 2009. car jumping all over. think it same and what do I buy. thanks?
Tenías cambios bruscos en la transmisión????
@@JoeIgnizio i have the exact problem same car,did you ever figure out what the problem was?
@wildmandingo22 2 sensor easy fix...just read code and swapped out. Cheap
Gracias a tu comentario pude dar con la falla igual GRACIAS
muy fácil de checar esos selenoides VVT
Dang I replaced both front wheel bearing and I still get these abs and service esc lights on
Have you pulled the codes?
No last time it was plugged in, no code came up except an Evap code. Do I have to search for it once it’s plugged in? This was done at my local auto part store as I don’t yet my own a system.
Okay is the traction control icon different from 2011 to 2012
I put the dust shield on backwards once and it was rubbing on my rotor bad. I was ticked I had to take all that crap back off just to flip it. lol.
I’ve done the same!
I heard this is the worst car by Chevy.
I'd say its a close run with the equinox
@@Tomsfoolery. Turns out I was low on brake fluid. Topped it off and I am light free lol.
I just replaced my right front bearings and now the esc light is on. Wish I have a computer.😐
He said he got his off Amazon
I have a 11 malibu with 107k miles 0 issues :)
You should go play some lotto numbers
Somewhere in your car is hidden a lucky horseshoe.
I recommend you keep an eye on your front wheel hubs (bearings), your exhaust camshaft position actualtor solenoid (on your engine), and your throttle body (throttle body valve position sensor). Common problems on these models up to now.
Liessss lol
UPDATE** I did this and it didn’t fix my REP/ESC etc issues on my ‘10 Malibu. Any other tips anyone?
My cluster reads power reduce and esc traction
It won’t let me change gears
How can you "Not Like" this video??
I know right??
Is there any way you can find out which one fail or is bad without using the scanner that you have while you driving to detect the bad one.??
I have the same lights on the dashboard but I would like to know if I can figure it out and replace the bad part myself.
Thank you.
Yes even cheap scanners that scan ABS will tell you where the fault lies.
How tf did this kid luck out with a dad this great, my dad couldn’t do an oil change and when he would try it would be my fault for not shinning the light properly
😂😂😂 that flashlight is a classic...
Lmaaaoooo
i have a 2007 impala. the same light comes on and when at a stop and accelerate it goes very slow. It takes a while before it goes up to regular speed. Could this also be my problem or what that be something else? It doesn't always do it and it goes away but then will come back. I have gone to numerous mechanics and none have been able to fix it. One mechanic said it was the transmission and had me change the transmission, but obviously it wasn't it as I am still having the same problem. Any suggestions?
Checa el Mass air sensor o el map sensor
I changed the automatic transmission fluid. It’s a sealed unit. Had to use dextron 5 on mine. It got most of the problems out, but still can hesitate on reverse randomly. It went away after resetting the computers in the car. The mechanic didn’t clear the codes after being serviced.
well done , I have the same issue . Thanks a lot
Outstanding video! Thanks man!!

Hi, I live in mexico. The best Video that I saw about this issue.
Sr. What scanner you used to detect that issue, I saw tear you use a tablet, can you give me scanner name to buy one of that I have that problem in my malibu 2008 and other that I would like to fix.
Thank you per the video and I hope you can help me.
Can this cause your radio to mess up as well? I just had both of these lights pop on just now but not even a week ago my radio started going from aux to cd and just messing up. I have a 2011 Chevy malibu. But i randomly just got these 2 lights to pop up on my dash could that be a bad wheel bearing?
Could a bad bearing/speed sensor cause those lights plus loss of power steering? But when you cycle the key a few times power steering will come back but continue to go in and out
I have a 2010 Malibu and the same thing is going on with it as the same in this video and I don't know where I can it to get it fixed and the dealer is charging $2500. Is there anyone you would recommend that would be able to this.
My mom is having these codes but a local shop said it's due to her left-rear brake caliper leaking. Could that be so? I'm thinking of doing the caliper and also the bearing
This goes off and on for me. I just went 6 months without now 3 days on no limping thankfully. I hate this car lol it’s never on long enough to get it serviced.
What code reader and computer are you using? I need to get a setup similar to yours

My service esc and power steering came on after making a turn but no abs, triangle or traction light. What could cause that. I pulled cut the car off and on it was fine
