Hi all,

Traction Crontrol Excessise Wheel Speed Variation Left Front keeps coming up.
I check the wire and connection and they seem OK..visually.

I have Goodrich Steele brake lines.

They was a discussion about the lines not being grounded..however not with this brand.

Before I venture to the dealer (on warranty) can I ground the line?

If so how.

Also, any feedback about this code is welcome.

It is a pain clearing it every other time I drive the car.

 

Kenny, your definition about the DTC1225 IS correct! I suffered the exakt same issue a while ago. I use RUSSELs SS-Lines on my C5 to my full satisfaction (due to theirs construction), but had the same worries with them as other fellow C5 drivers. However, after a while, all the troubles disappeared to the nirvana......

I let my beloved GM Dealer check-out about possible reasons the car sets this code. The car still under warranty, they exchanged the LF wheel bearing assembly (containing the ABS/TC/AH-sensor), b/c they thought the wiring and/or the sensor itself could be bad.

WRONG : the code, to my great enjoyment of course, made his reappearance. But then, later on and as already mentioned above, the system may be got used to those RUSSEL SS-Lines and all the envy of the car to set the code was gone.......

I wish you the same luck I had with this experience. And BTW : there is NOTHING you could connect/switch to any ground receptacle - just forget it. The GM OEM brake rubber-hoses aren't grounded neither. With SS, however, you do have chances they would ground itself.

Nevertheless I guess : SS Lines,whatever the make, DO HAVE or create a certain electrical potential. They sit just close-by to the front of the wheel sensor, and by the turning motion of the wheel, they might probably create an electrical field.......just an idea given by my .2 cents.

Joe. again, GOOD LUCK to you.
