GMC Yukon XL 2000–2006

Outside the documents and the records

The three pages read are questions and answers about the Chevrolet Tahoe (2002 and 2004) and Silverado (2001), not records of the Yukon or Yukon XL. All are Q&A threads, and none reports that cleaning went on to cure the fault.

• In two of the three pages read (a 2001 Silverado 2WD and a 2004 Tahoe 4WD), ABS activation just before a stop or at low speed was happening on a vehicle whose front hubs with built-in sensors, or left front sensor, had already been renewed. On the Silverado the brake and ABS lamps also lit at times, and on the Tahoe the lamp came on or stayed off depending on how many spacers were fitted under the sensor. Car Talk Community2CarPros
• In a 2CarPros question about a 2004 Tahoe (4WD), the mechanics answering advise pulling both front sensors and cleaning their mounts, because both sides can be at fault even when the scan tool names only one. 2CarPros
• In the 2CarPros question about a 2004 Tahoe (4WD), one answerer explains how he settles the shim count: he gauges the depth from the sensor opening to the tone ring with a snug-fitting wooden rod, sets that against the length of the sensor, and adds or removes shims accordingly. 2CarPros
• In a Car Talk Community question about a 2002 Tahoe, the owner writes that the dealer could not reproduce the fault in a few miles of driving and, after checking the ABS, told her there was no trace of it having activated. Car Talk Community
• A Car Talk Community thread about a 2001 Silverado says the sensor can break on removal and gives $90 for a sensor and $115 plus shipping, bought online, for a bearing and hub with built-in sensor. A post on 2CarPros says the repair for rust under the sensors on a 2002 Silverado 2500 cost $228.00. Car Talk Community2CarPros

The sentences above were written by FaultCrate from what shops' public pages and Q&A sites state as fact (none of the pages' wording is shown; a second reader checked each against its pages). A record of another vehicle says which vehicle. A Q&A thread is a question and advice, and may not say how the repair ended. The links below are places to look; the contents of pages not read were not checked.
