Hi I am new here. I recently purchased a 2004 Escalade ESV Platinum. I think I have an issue with my traction control. From a stand still and under normal acceleration and driving conditions, I will sometimes get a notice on the "info. display" that the traction control is active, ( of course I can feel it engaging as well ). The owners manual says it is normal for the system to reset itself but it sometimes happens two to three times in succession. I don't think it's normal to do that. Any info. would be appreciated

Am I really the only one experiencing this?

someone else on another forum is having the same problem...
this also happened twice while i was in stop and go traffic on a major highway.. no turning.. and on the dic.. came up.."traction control active" geez.. no turns.. wasn't barely moving.. just at idle.


so.. the dealer said.. apparently it is one of two sensors .. that is sending an incorrect reading to make the traction control come on and then it does it's thing with the throttle body? go figure! but.. he needs the truck for another day or two so they can figure out which sensor.. but.. they say they are close and should be able to repair it. So.. we'll see.. I hope to have it back by Wed.
I'm crossing my fingers!!!
Will keep you updated

Just got off the phone with the dealership..
.. apparently.. it's a combination.. wheel speed sensor/bearing/hub assembly.. that is at fault.. or giving a faulty reading and setting off the traction control that is disabling the throttle body.


Hope this helps!!!

Thanks for the info. Could you tell what forum that person is on so I can contact him or her?
