I had a friend who spent a fortune replacing sensors only to find out it was just a bad ground connection! Have you checked your ground points?

22

Good point! Ground issues can be so easily overlooked. I’m definitely going to look into that as well.

Has anyone tried resetting the traction control system? Sometimes, that can clear up minor issues without delving deeper.

I’ll try that! It might just do the trick. Thanks for the suggestion!

Honestly, it feels like the Chevy Traverse has a mind of its own when it comes to traction control! Anyone else think the system is a bit temperamental?

Haha! I think you might be onto something, gary38. It’s like it wants to be in control! But in all seriousness, these issues can really drive you nuts.

Thanks for sharing! I had a similar issue after a heavy rain. Have you tried disconnecting the battery to reset the system? That sometimes helps.

Resetting the system can work, but don’t forget about the brake fluid. Low fluid is another common culprit for traction control activation. Keep that topped up!

Good point! I’ve also heard that the wheel bearings could affect the sensor readings. If they are worn, it might trigger the traction control too.

You all are awesome! My Traverse has been acting up in the snow. Sometimes I just wish there was a magic fix! Does anyone have tips specifically for driving in winter conditions?

31

Haha, don’t we all! Consider installing winter tires. It’s surprising how much better traction control works with appropriate tires.

32

I’ve noticed my traction control shuts off randomly. Is that normal? I read somewhere that it could be a software issue that needs a dealer visit.

33

Yes, that can happen. I had a software update done at my dealer, and it resolved many of the problems! Worth a visit.

34

I appreciate all the insights! Does anyone know if these traction control issues could be covered under warranty? I still have a few months left.

35

It should be covered if it’s a manufacturer defect. Just take your paperwork to the dealer!

I had traction control problems last summer! I joked about it being the car’s ‘rescue mission’ mode when it started beeping like crazy. Did everyone’s Traverse become a drama queen too?

Haha! Totally true! But seriously, if it keeps acting up without clear reasons, a visit to a professional might be the safest bet.
