Has anyone had these errors
stab sys failed
service 4wd

This is the 2nd time I have gotten the errors, 1st time onstar said they saw the errors nothing major take it dealer within 2 weeks. Dealer found the errors nothing in books other than reset computer they drove it for 5 minutes the errors did not return. That was 1500 miles ago started h3 up this am boom the errors showed up, turn h3 of and retart no errors. I am wondering if the dealer will find anything this time? has anyone recieved these errors?

Those 3 systems are intertwined, so a problem in one affects the others. Let the dealer look at it, it's most likely one of two issues:
1)xfer case encoder motor(moves the shift fork)
2)brake pedal switch misadjusted(there's two of them)
As long as the dealer follows diag charts correctly(always start with lowest trouble code numerically) they'll get it fixed fine.

Our H3 is in for the second time for this. First time it took a whole rear end rebuild, the coil got everthing too hot jammin' the locker in and out. This time, who knows. If they say "rebuild" again, I'm going to say no and tell 'em I want a new rear end. (sounds kinda funny huh?)

same thing happened to me when i drove off teh lot after purchasing the H3. Onstar said it was non critical but take to dealer within 2 weeks. The problem with mine was the ABS encoder. They said i still have brakes but the ABS may not function properly, didnt have a problem while i continued driving it. The dealer ordered the part swtiched it and all is fine for a year now.

I had the same thing happen when we had a spell of cold weather. I got the warnings, drove about 100ft. turned it off and back on and the warnings were gone. It's happened two or three times, but it hasn't happened in about 2 months. I should probably take it into the dealer to check it out.

Yep, tried that, the 4lo button illuminated, but I did not hear it engage. Locker just blinked.

Cycled start about 6 or 7 times throughout the day. Still had the message on the DIC when I dropped it at the dealer last night.

Mine was doing the same thing and the dealers ended up replacing some module... Once I get home from work, I will pull the paperwork and see what was actually replaced to fix the problem... It was covered under warranty....

ey thats weird. several weeks after i got the mesasges and having the abs encoder module changed my brake lights went out too. They said the switch shorted or something like that, but it didnt write any codes, i found out when parking in the garage and seeing no lights. how come you got codes.:( :D

Mine's been in twice for that also. This last time I think it had something to do with the brakes. Had to leave the 3 in the shop a couple of days while they had the part shiped in. The dealer was real nice about it though and gave me a Saab turbo:D . My girlfriend told me she wishes my 3 would break down more so we could drive that car.

The cruise control is tied into the Stability System..which will turn off cruise if you do any kind of a advoidence maneuver ..so they are related to each other.

Two weeks ago I received a Check Engine light... I called OnStar. They said it came back as a sensor in the emission system. Any way they said it was ok to drive the 3 but to go to the dealer within 7 days.

But first I disconnected the negitive battery terminal for about 1 min. Then re connnected it and started the 3. The light was gone and so was the code set. Re-checked with OnStar and they said I was cool.

I would first try disconnenting the neg battery terminal for 1 min and re connect it and see what happens. Also while it's off clean the terminal and connector.

But keep in mind if you do that you will lose all saved destinations in you NAV unit. If you have one.

Good Luck..:beerchug:

There can be a number of things that cause that eror light to come on. Besides what those above mentions you can add the brake switch either faulty or miss-aligned. Brake lights wont be working as a hint that it could be the cause. Worse than microsoft windows for error messages as to what is REALY wrong. Happened on mine. Reached under there and activated the brake switch a few times and a shot of WD-40 and code is gone. No return issues since July 08.

VNV,
Thanks for that negative cable pull. Did not do it for my rig. Called On Star today. they said its a minor alarm and may be fuel related? They recommend service visit within 7 days if it does not come clear...:drama:

VN Vette,
Thanks for the suggestions but no luck with those two...

cnynctry,
Can you clarify what you are saying here...
Spray wd 40 into the brake pedal relay switch? And operate it...

I think what he means is to locate the breake light switch which should be somewhere along the brake pedal shaft ... Shoot some WD 40 or Contact cleaner on the button that sides in and out of the switch housing.. while moving the brake pedal in and out. This will hopefully clen the contacts of the switch when the cleaner runs down inside to the contacts.

If your brake lights are working.... then so is the switch, so this would be Moot.

Sorry it didn't work out after the battery cable pull. Looks like a trip to your dealer is in your future.:beerchug:

The GMC tech found and corrected the problem in less then a hour. The problem a short circuit blew the 15 amp tailight fuse killing my brake lights and cruise control. He reset the code and good to go...

Thanks for the advice!

Had no idea my brake lights were out so the flashing DIC light was good after all.

Asplund GMC on Rt 72 Manahawkin NJ about 30 miles closer than my Hummer service worked out great. ..
The OnStar agent looked them up set the appointment and waited while we set the appointment.
In and out in one hour. Totally satisfied. Outstanding experience.


Confidence in GM for this customer is very high:beerchug:

2006 H3. I have been having a problem with lights coming on. I had it towed to the dealer and @11k miles. They replaced the brake switch. The light came on, at 17k, the ebcm needed to be replaced. At 25k miles, another ebcm needed, once again at 29k master was ordered. The dealership closed and I couldn't get the part installed until it happened again at the new dealer. It finally came back on and the dealer said to resurface rotors? I didn't really understand why because I had the brakes done only @10k miles back. I was told we have to follow procedure, and the service advisor told me that they found the brake problem (kinda by accident). Turns out contamination of brake fluid from factory they believe. The brakes lines were bulging, broken inside near connector. Parts have to be located now, I am just mad that I bring it in all the time, on time, for service and concerns. Now they notice this after all this time? I need this posted just to make people aware. Thank goodness nothing happened, I always have my young child in this car. I have been nervous driving it because of the concerns, now I am afraid. I was told all the parts which have plastic on it are getting replaced. Shouldn't everything? Will this totally correct the problem? Please help. Regional manager told me that they have to search for parts because my car is not the only one with this concern!!! Check the brake lines for contaminated fluid..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Car is still at a dealer, the final part should be coming in tomorrow. The repair will be around $6k. (under warranty). The person at dealer told me the other car was an H3 (not and H2) and the regional rep. told me that they have been having a lot with this problem. This is the reason why I am posting this on the sites. Just to make other H3 owners to look at the brake lines, or just to inform you just in case you are having similar concerns since it?s a safety concern. The lines probably only lasted this long because after having the EBCM replaced twice they have to flush and replace the fluid. Other than the problems, I love the truck.
