Hi,

The stability control can be affected by a few things. For example, a faulty wheel speed sensor can cause it. Even low brake fluid.

What I recommend is this. Since there are a few different possibilities, we need to scan the can-bus to retrieve codes. CAN stands for controller area network.

Basically, the different modules are tied together via a few wires. This type of scan will retrieve codes regardless of the module storing them. In this case, it will likely be the anti-lock brake control module.

Here is a link that explains how to perform the scan:

This is where I would start. Otherwise, it will become a guessing game or involve independent tests that will take extended periods of time.

Let me know if this is something you can do or have done.

Take care,

Joe
