Some Chevrolet Suburban 1500 owners report experiencing unexpected traction control engagement at low speeds, even after replacing multiple sensors and bearings. These issues may stem from a faulty wheel speed sensor, which can inadvertently trigger the traction control system. Additionally, some owners have found that replacing the wheel bearing hub has resolved similar traction control activation problems. Service messages like "Service Traction Control" or "Service Stabilitrak," along with the ABS light, may indicate deeper issues that are not easily fixed. Understanding the distinction between traction control and Stabilitrak can aid in diagnosing the problem, as they serve different functions in vehicle stability. Furthermore, General Motors has issued recalls for certain models due to wheel speed sensor issues, which could contribute to unexpected traction control engagement. In cases where problems persist, consulting a certified mechanic or dealership is recommended for a thorough diagnosis and resolution.
