Stability control failure. What should I do to diagnose the problem? Any ideas of what it could be?

 

I just remove the abs connector` I spray with little bit wd40 `let dry before connect ` connect the battery and voila ! stability control fail lite goes away

 

Is your abs light on also? Here is some info from jagrepair.com to get you started:

There is a lot more available there. One thing to note: The resistance of the sensors is usually 1000- 1040 ohm. If the sensors and harnesses check out it is probably the solder connections to the abs pump. This is a diy, or you can send it to various repair services found on ebay.

 

Mine did it from time to time as well. Usually when I am in reverse turning out of a parking space. It's one of my front wheel sensors and when we had the springs changed, I stopped by and cleaned the sensors and it hasn't happened since.

 

This happens to me a few times each year, usually after a tire/wheel wash or driving through a deep puddle. Light goes on for the most 3 starts then it's fine. Going to remove sensor and clean soon. Jack

 

Where is the ABS connector found?

On the ABS module, next to where the screenwash goes in.
