Chances are you have a wheel speed sensor that is not reading correctly.

SOURCE: abs light/traction control light

You can check out what the trouble code is by pushing and holding the information button and the up arrow (right side of instrument cluster above the radio) until all the instrument clusters light. Press the information button (last) to enter test mode. I've had an error C1234, meaning Left rear wheel sensor fault. I found the problem to be a corroded connector under the chasis just under the rear left door about 2 feet in. I had to by-pass (replace 1 wire due to corrosion at the connector.

SOURCE: service stability sytem warning came on when i hit

Hello. Most likely you only jarred the sensors which caused the service warning light to come on. Take it to any AAMCO if you have one near by where they will scan the computer for free. While they have the scanner connected have them reset it which will turn off the light. Joe

SOURCE: service stability system, abs light,

Since both of these systems rely on the wheel speed sensors, this is probably what needs to be replaced. If you don't have your own scanner or can't find a part store that can give you ABS codes, it would be worth it to pay a shop to give you the code so you can replace the correct sensor instead of guessing.

Why does my ABS light stays on and sometimes i get a vibration in the brake petal causing my 2002 Cadillac escalade not wanting to stop?

The light being on means the system has detected a problem in one or more sensors. The vibration is the ABS modulating the brakes to prevent skidding because it has detected a wheel that is locked up. That wheel is most likely the one sensor that is giving you the error.

Could be a broken wire. Speed sensor, wheel bearing, and all that stuff they put on it. Have the codes read. This will point you in the right direction.

The stability control system is typically triggered by the abs system/connector sensor on your wheel hub bearing. If you haven't replaced your hub bearings on the front you may have one going bad. Cheap fix for a diy.

You have an intermittant problem with the stability control that has to be addressed at some point and that would be a good time for them to inspect the suspension for anything that could be triggering those symptoms.
