2014 GMC Acadia. Driving down the highway I hit a small bump and my door locks started to open and close and traction control light started to flash. I couldn't drive more then 20 mph because it would start to run rough. Door lock would open and close and the transmission would shift very hard. I drove about 15 miles until I got home nothing more than 20 mph. I have a scanner from HF that would give me codes from my ABS and it said that there was the communication. So I checked all 4 speed sensor with a multimeter and I was getting a reading of 452 to 480 ohms on all 4 sensor. Not sure what was supposed to be the ohms and reading on other blogs that it should read between 1000 And 2000 I order all 4 sensor from Amazon . AC Delco for under 100 bucks. When I receive the new sensor I checked the ohms and their where 460 ohms. So back to the drawing board. I checked the sensor from voltage. As I rotate the wheel I wasn't getting any reading from the rear right sensor. I removed it to find out the it was full of Gunk. At this point I just installed the new one and I was able to get a reading. I installed all 4 connected the battery and took it for a test drive. So for it's back to normal. I drove the truck for 15 miles and was able to get up to 70 MPH with no problem. So I'm hoping this was the issue. Check your speed sensor before going crazy and speeding a ton of money. The sensors are located by your wheel hubs. 4 ac Delco from Amazon under 100 . 112k miles on my Acadia.

Same issue 2014 Acadia SLT. Replaced the brake pedal position sensor switch $10.10 after tax OEM part - Amazon. 10 minute fix. Just need a screw driver. Solved my issue. Just an electrical issue within the switch. Note to make sure the nipple on the switch goes into it's little hole. Super easy.
