Advancetrac light comes on after 20min of driving???

[vikingdiesel]

The light comes on after about 20 mins of driving, whats that mean. It says in the message screen "check advancetrac", is this an easy fix or what?

I havent seen anyone say this in a while....search it. Not trying to be an ass but there have been plenty of threads on why this warning comes up. I found 3 in under 1 minute.

the light comes on because something is wrong with advancetrac... if you dont have a scan tool, take it to a shop and have it looked at...


even with a message center people came seem to figure it out...

 

[vikingdiesel]

ok seems like I need to go to the dealer and get codes and it might just need recalibration or something else

Maybe just an ABS wheel sensor connection going bad. Check those. Does it happen all the time, or was it a one time fluke?

ABS wheel sensor, easy fix. ABS module? not so much...

Sometimes the ABS can act up if you are running different diameter tires on either the front or back set.

Could it also be the brakes needing to be bled?

I thought I saw that some where here before. Also check the fluids.

Do you have different size tires on the front than the rear?

 

[vikingdiesel]

nope, tire size is the same. However, I just noticed that the rear tires are NOT matching. Ones a KHUMO and the other a goodyear with the same size tho, I switched it around now with (2) same goodyears in the year, can I reset it maybe? Could that been my issue? I should also check the brake fluid?

 

[97stscaddy]

As long as the sizes are the same that eliminates one possible issue. Tires that are more than a 5% difference in size will confuse the traction control system.

Sounds kinda strange but a low brake fluid level can also set off the advance trac light. Make sure that is topped up to the full mark. If it continues to do this you might have to take it in, but check the brake fluid level first.
