Problem overview

Some Cadillac XTS owners report experiencing unexpected activation of the traction control system, often attributed to factors such as rear traction control sensor failure. Many report seeing the "Service StabiliTrak" warning, which is linked to GM's advanced electronic stability control system. Additionally, some owners notice that the ABS and traction control lights remain illuminated, potentially impacting cruise control functionality, indicating a persistent issue that may require professional attention. The unexpected activation can also stem from faulty wheel speed sensors or component damage, including wiring, control modules, or wheel hubs, which can trigger the traction control light. If these issues arise, it is recommended that owners have their Cadillac XTS inspected by a qualified mechanic to determine the specific cause and necessary repairs.
