GM has stated that they plan to make stabilitrack standard on all vehicles in the near future:hayabusa said:Hey jeff do you know what a stabiltrak does ?
Probably not because tire pressure sensors are currently only required for cars with run-flat tires standard, and the GXP/RL wont have run-flats.jeffgtx said:do you think there will be a tire pressure monitor added to the DIC?
There's a sport mode just like the new C6 Corvettes have.Jordan said:Having driven a few vehicles with stabilitrak, it is a nice feature to have when you are just doing normal driving.. Hopefully they have an off switch for on track events and more spirited driving![]()
Because of the prevalence of stiff-sidewall low-profile tires which might be 10-12PSI low and not sag significantly enough to set off a rotational speed sensor. Those things didn't work very well anyway in my experience. Lots more false positives than actual alerts. When my 98 Regal was down 15PSI it didn't go off (stock tires/wheels) but go over a bumpy road while accellerating and the tire skipping would set it off.jeffgtx said:its my understanding that stabilitrak uses sensors from the ABS etc to monitor individual wheelspin and compensate.
early tire pressure monitors used teh same info. if 1 wheel was spinning XX% faster than the other three it likely was lower pressure, which triggered the warning light.
if you are adding the software to do all teh stabilitrak stuff, why not add that to the code and trigger the warning light?
Current tire pressure sensors are inside the wheel, attached to the valve stem. They moniter the pressure and send a radio signal to your car.jeffgtx said:its my understanding that stabilitrak uses sensors from the ABS etc to monitor individual wheelspin and compensate.
