Service Stabilitrak TSB #06-02-35-002B

[jellyhead]

I have been having an issue with the Service Stabilitrak message being displayed on the DIC. I found this TSB

2004 - 2008: Service Bulletin: Stabilitrak/Active Handling Light On,
Service Stabilitrak/Active Handling Message on DIC
 
Subject: Stabilitrak/Active Handling Light On, Service Stabilitrak/Active Handling Message on DIC, DTC C0710
Steering Wheel Position Sensor (SWPS) Signal Set (Install Clip in SWPS Connector) #06-02-35-002B - (10/19/2007)
 
Models:
2004-2008 Cadillac XLR
2005-2008 Chevrolet Corvette
with Steering Wheel - Tilt, Telescoping (RPO N37 or N38)
 
Condition
Some customers may comment on a Stabilitrak® or Active Handling System light being illuminated. Also, this warning light
will be accompanied by a SERVICE STABILITRAK or SERVICE ACTIVE HNDLG message on the DIC.
Diagnosis with a scan tool may reveal a DTC C0710.
 
Cause
The most likely cause of a DTC C0710 on a vehicle equipped with telescoping/tilt steering wheel is high resistance in SWPS
connector C202. Fretting terminal corrosion may be present in the SWPS connector due to the telescoping motion of the
steering column. When the steering column is telescoped in and out, the female terminals within the SWPS connector may
move on the male terminals of the SWPS. This movement between the terminals may cause a high resistance condition in
the SWPS connector.
 
Correction
Remove the driver's side closeout (insulator) panel.
Locate the SWPS connector that connects to the steering angle sensor, located on the lower center of the steering column.
Install the clip (1), P/N 19179794, into the connector. This clip will act as a terminal positive assurance (TPA) and prevent
any movement of the terminals.

I checked for the DTC and there was nothing but with the car running I ran the steering column in and out a few times and noticed the message changed from Service Stabilitrak to Traction Control SYS Off.

Has anyone performed this fix and is there a step by step guide?

I had the same problem the service stabilitrak message would come on along with the traction control light. I first installed the clip in the wire harness but that didn't fix the problem. I had to take the car to the dealer and after four hours of tests they found the voltage coming out of the BCM (Body Control Module) was low. They replaced the BCM and I have never had the problem again.
