I bet its the steering wheel position sensor. I remember having issues with them when I worked at the dealer.

I agree....more often than not it is the steering wheel position sensor....however, a "C" code is usually set.....after installing, a Tech II scanner is needed to relearn the position sensor.....

Mine would trip on typically when I was turning the wheel at slow speeds in a parking lot. It was the hub shifting in some way that causes the speed sensor reading to do something wrong. This was true with both hubs.

I agree, it is likely something specific to the stability control system. There is also a yaw sensor, but those very rarely fail. The steering wheel position sensor is usually to blame.

There would be codes but in SSS. Only the higher end scanners or the tech 2 can read them.
