I had this same problem and cleaned the front wheel speed sensors.
That worked for about 1000 mi then it started again. After two times to the
local dealer ( they could not find any problem ) and $ 125.00 later . I decided to
take a chance and replace the front sensors ( approx. 2 hours in my garage )
and cost approx. $110.00 ( for the set of 2 )at my local chevy dealer. He needed the vin to locate the correct part and it took a couple of days to get. of course they are made in
Taiwon . That completely corrected my "traction control " problems. I have driven
approx. 4000 mi with no problems except for the rear wiper that doesn't work.
73,676 mi and gets 17.5 on the highway.

Thanks for the advice. When you removed the sensors, did you first remove the hub and the half shaft, or do the sensors come out without having to take apart the hub?

you can remove the sensors by first removing your front brake caliper and then removing your rotor, the sensor is attached to the hub with a single allen bolt. I installed the new ones with " loctite " to be sure they stayed in place. This is the setup on my 2004 yukon denali.
         I got to cut grass now so i will check back in 1 to 2 hours.

Thanks again for the advice. I will tackle the job in a few days. Right now my son is occupying our hoist.

Replaced the front left sensor. Reused the front right as it looked really good. Still have the problem with traction control active. Will try replacing the front right sensor.

Hi everyone,
I have an engine light that goes on and off all the time. I tried new high grade fuel, the gas cap is tight and snapped when doing so but still the light goes on and off.
I did notice that sometimes when I turned on the high beams the engine light would come on. It usually goes off in a day or two.
Is it the battery or alternator??
Thanks,
London, Ontario

The "Check Engine" light is usually related to emissions devices.
For example it could be an O2 sensor, gas cap, MAF (mass airflow sensor) or a number of other emissions related problems. If you know someone with a code reader, check the error code, it will point you in the right direction.
On my Denali, the gas cap was tight but the light still kept coming on intermittently. It turns out that there was a tiny crack in the rubber ring on the gas cap that forms the seal between the gas cap and the filler neck. A new gas cap solved the problem. Good luck.

After replacing both front wheel speed sensors and scoping all 4 sensors, the problem still persists. It is likely a fault in the stability control module, which is epensive to replace and which must be coded to the vehicle by the dealer. So I will not go that route. I simply disable stability control and problem solved.

You may want to try GMC Yukon Small Problems and Aggravations. We'll stick with "traction control" here.
