Very simply the 'Slip Indicator Light' has been going on more and more lately. At first it was once or twice when leaving my garage in the ramp or off the highway on a sharp turn and funny hill. I thought oh it's just cause the wheels are a bit heavy and it's a strange hill, turn.

But now it's progressed and I think it could be a bigger problem. I am Getting it allot more. It's the rear wheels and now it at times happens when on a hill going upwards. Does not seem right. It's not snowing lol!! It's not wet. But hte wheels are heavy. 21"s and allot wider than stock as well. Could it be over time some parts are giving and not being able to rotate the wheels? So strange to me.

Any suggestions wold be great.

AWD or FWD?

infinirx

AWD suspension

Carver

Oh yeah! You have air on it right?

infinirx

Yes but I don't think that would effect the rear diff. from rotating the tires or what ever is happening. I drove very cautiously today and all was good. But I know it's gonna happen again lol!

Might just be rolling through those turns too fast. You said the roads were not wet?? Maybe just a little?

Clean the wheel sensors real good on the hubs (all 4) CAUTION the rear ones are very tuff to get out,so be careful with them. More than likely this is your problem.

infinirx

Wheel sensors? Ok I gotta find out what those are are where they are lol!

Carver

He may be thinking of the factory air system, yours no doubt has them but most likely a bit more available than the original air.

Where wheel sensors are concerned? I am confused. I wold not even know where to start to look. I know I have a digital leveling system called AccuAir that has sensor arms but that's about height not wheel rotation.

The wheel sensors on each hub work with the traction control & also with the abs system. When you take your wheel off, look on the side of the hub toward the vehicle. You will see I believe it`s a 10mm bolt, take that off, disconnect the wire that goes to it,pull it out of the housing, and clean off any debris that may be on it. They are magnatized so they tend to p/u some real fine particles. Do this for each wheel. I used WD40 and cleaned/dried them real well,and put them back in. Worked like a charm.

Thanks! I have to put in new rotors so I am going to do this at the same time!

PS: The guy that fixed my front differential a while back says it could be my ride height sensors. Might need to be recalibrated.

So far what my mechanic told me was that my rotors were warped and that is sets off this kind of issue because they are lose and uneven. My front pass. side rotor was crystallized and you could see the damage in the back. Also my rear brakes were done. So I have been using the front brakes mostly and on warped rotors.

Did the switch today to slotted and drilled front and rear. New brakes. I hope that's it. I will check in in a few days to see cause I should know since it happened enough where it should not happen at all now.

Carver

Damn, those new brakes must feel pretty good.

infinirx

Yeah they are Axis replicas. Decent brakes





Funny they were so easy to install. Took two hours for all four. I paid my friend that is one of those great mechanics that is NOT a working mechanic $100. He even fixed my left HID fog light that never seemed to work right.

It's really something when you see some one do thorough work for practically nothing cause he really loves it and it's better work than the dealership would prob. do. He showed me the shoddy work the guy that installed my Air Bag suspension and HID Fogs. Just amazing.

However in a few days of driving I will know for sure if he's right about the slip light issue
