2016 Envision: wheel-speed sensor internal short. See the manufacturer document, vehicle conditions, exclusions and questions for a qualified shop before assuming a repair.
This is a research summary of a manufacturer communication, not a diagnosis for your car, a DIY repair procedure or confirmation of warranty or recall eligibility. No qualified technician has approved a repair for your individual vehicle here.
This historical communication is conditional. The current revision, VIN/build eligibility, measured diagnosis and any warranty or recall decision are not established here. Ask the manufacturer or a qualified shop to check the complete current document.
Read the General Motors original: Envision wheel-speed sensor internal short · Check open recalls by VIN at NHTSA Source date: 2017-01; research checked: 2026-11-01.
What prompted this manufacturer document
- An internally shorted wheel-speed sensor can cause intermittent traction/StabiliTrak or AWD-disabled warnings.
Which vehicle conditions must be checked
Each row below retains its own conditions. Do not combine engines, years or models across rows to create new applications. A listed model is not proof that a particular VIN is affected.
- Buick Envision · 2016 · Built 2016-02-01 through 2016-05-01
- The narrow production window is part of applicability.
- A communication-related code alone does not identify which wheel sensor has failed.
Codes recorded in this document
A root listed only as an appearance has no separately verified meaning here. Preserve every suffix and module name; a shared root does not transfer a repair branch to another vehicle.
| Root | Raw form | Meaning in this source, if established |
|---|---|---|
| C0035 | C0035 | Appears in the document; individual meaning not verified |
| C0040 | C0040 | Appears in the document; individual meaning not verified |
| C0045 | C0045 | Appears in the document; individual meaning not verified |
| C0050 | C0050 | Appears in the document; individual meaning not verified |
| U0415 | U0415-71 | Appears in the document; individual meaning not verified |
What an owner can record safely
- Record when the warnings appear and whether braking or handling feels different.
Bulletin eligibility questions
The source uses these gates before choosing a professional diagnostic branch. A missing answer means applicability is unknown; passing one gate never authorizes a repair.
- Envision vehicle production window
What the source does not prove
- Do not replace all four sensors just because several chassis codes are stored.
- A code or message alone does not establish a failed part, a safe-to-drive decision or an approved repair for this VIN.
- A service bulletin is not automatically a recall or free warranty repair. Confirm current eligibility directly.
Questions for the repair shop
- Which sensor was proven defective, and does the vehicle meet the build dates?
- Does a later revision or a current recall change the source's original advice?
- What measurement or inspection confirms the cause, and how will the repair be verified?
