1997 Cadillac Seville STS - The stability warning light comes on and the system is activated when it is not required. (fast or slow driving in town or highway on dry pavement with no actual skidding) When the brake pedal is pushed, you can hear the mechanism working and the warning on the Information Center comes on giving the stability system number. This began happening at about 60,000 and I took it to the dealer for repair. They put a new computer chip in ($1,000 with labor) etc. 20,000 miles later it began happening again. I have 100,000 on the vehicle now and have just lived with the problem but I need to get it fixed. I am reluctant to take it to a Cad Dealer as I fear they will just through another chip in it when I don't think that is the problem. I am not a mechanic, but it would make sense to me that some sensor is off and causing the system to activate when it is not called for.
So ...Does any one have any ideas as to what the problem could be and how to remedy same. Also, since I probably can't fix it myself, any suggestion on what kind of an auto repair shop to take it to other than a Cad Dealer... ie Brake, Electrical or General Automotive Repair. I live in Redmond, WA and have never found a repair shop that I was comfortable with, but then I have used the Dealer for most needs other than brakes etc.
Thanks in Advance,
