Upgraded 456 gears on my Avalanche now having warning lights on

I recently upgraded the stock gears in my 02 Avalanche to the 456 gears. Instatly has caused problems with the Traction control kicking in and losing power to the truck till I mannualy shut on the traction control. Any Ideas on how to fix this permanantly?

In addition the break light on the dash board lights up after driving for about 5 minutes. I was told it is the ABS light sensing that the tires are spinning to fast. I purchased a Hyperteck computer programer to adjust for the gears and oversized tires but unfortunatly it has not fixed the warning light problems.

Any ideas???

Rubbish
the abs sensors stopped wheels not fast spinning wheels
when there is no signal from the rotor the abs kicks in and releases he brake pressure to that wheel/s allowing them to turn to give the driver steering control
as the abs and traction control use the same wheel sensor , the traction could detect a fast spinning wheel and take action to control it
you have upgraded the final drive ration to 4.56 from standard which will be 3 point something which will make the engine rev higher to get the same speed
and that could be where the problem is coming from as there is a connection between the engine rpms and the road speed and the preset parameters may be not reading the new settings from the new diff ratio
putting on the lights and dropping power

SOURCE: service traction system message on dash

This light is usually caused by a problem in the ABS system. A problem in the ABS system will dissable the traction control system. you will need to have the computers scanned for trouble codes.

THE PROBLEM IS WITH A HUB WHEEL SPEED SENSOR OR MORE LIKELY THE HARNESS LEADING TO THE HUB.

CHECK THE RESISTANCE AT THE HUB CONNECTION, IT SHOULD BE BETWEEN 900OHMS AND 1300OHMS. THEN SWITCH TO A-C VOLTAGE, IT SHOULD BE 100MV WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL BY HAND. IF BOTH CHECK OUT THE PROBLEM IS IN THE WIRING TO THE HUB.

THE RIGHT FRONT HUB USUALLY HAS A BEND, DOWNWARD THEN UPWARD NEAR THE CONNECTOR TO THE HUB. THAT IS WHERE THE PROBLEM USUALLY OCCURS.

NEW HARNESS WIRES CAN BE BOUGHT AT THE DEALER.

We were having this problem...have your wheel bearing checked out. There was a sensor in the drivers side wheel bearing...once we replaced it (because it was going out) the ABS and Traction Control warning lights stopped coming on.

Were do i find an 02 sensor p0154 and p0155 on an 2002 avalanche with a 5.3L engine

On the passenger side, under the truck. Up towards the exhaust manifold. Not a fun one to replace on the ground. The plug is up higher at the engine and transmission. Just a note. Both these codes don't usually appear at the same time. If you had recent transmission work done, I would say that the wires are pinched.

On 3 occasions have had 3 loud audible warning beeps, but no warning lights come on, when stationary at traffic lights, with neutral gear and handbrake on.

Sound like a brake on warning so you don't put in gear and drive with the break on however a brake light should come on but it maybe Burt out

Gear shift Selector stuck

These were known for having faulty brake light switche that would cause that problem as well as cruise control inop. I would check that first. It operates the shift-lock solenoid which releases the shifter. There were also some problems with the ignition switches, but mostly on the gm cars.

02 avalanche check engine light flashing

Start by making sure the gas cap is secure and tight which can cause this. The most common cause is a random misfire. Your vehicle is 9 years old, so replace the spark plugs and plug wires. Have the check engine light reset and it should solve your problem. If not, have it diagnosed by a professional with a code reader.

Abs Is engaging irratically on 2002 avalanche

Did you bleed the system after doing the brakes? and since you din't say abs light I assume you mean the brakes are acting erratically. If you bleed the breaks first after that try it and if it still does it make sure you have the correct rotors and pads.
