Stability Assist Module Calibration
The stability assist module needs to be recalibrated whenever a component specific to the stability assist system is disconnected or a new component is installed. If a DTC is logged for any component of the stability assist system, the DTC must be cleared before carrying out the recalibration procedure. The need to recalibrate the stability assist module is also indicated by the active/fail lamp flashing. The lamp flashes after clearing the DTCs that are indicated on the stability assist calibration list. If a DTC is retrieved after recalibration, refer to the ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) MODULE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX . If installing a new stability assist module, the calibration procedures as well as the configuration procedure must be carried out. To calibrate the module, follow the scan tool directions. For additional information regarding the module configuration procedure, refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION .
When carrying out the accelerometer/yaw rate sensor calibration using the scan tool, the vehicle must be stationary and on a level surface. The ignition switch must be in the RUN position. When carrying out the steering wheel rotation sensor calibration on the scan tool, the ignition switch must be in the RUN position with the engine running and the steering wheel must be rotated back and forth from lock position to lock position.
