what can cause stabiltrak warning light to come on

Are you sure its stabiltrak or just the traction control light. If I'm not mistaken just the full sized GM trucks have stabiltrak. Anywho, the light is on because something is wrong with the traction control. Stop into a local Autozone they can scan it for free and tell you why the lights are on. I'm going to say its either a bad wheel bearing(the bearing is where the abs and traction control sensors are located) or the wires from the bearing to the body are broken or rubbed through.

We have an 07 with the same thing. Been happening since we drove it off the lot new. Dealership never figured it out and there are no codes that get posted to the computer. After we shut off and restart the car it goes away and all is fine again. Seems like a software glitch

And it is stabilitrak.

David you should have got the Chevy dealer to fix it while it was still under warranty. I would have dropped it off every time the light came on til it was fixed. You paid good hard earned money for it and it shouldn't have a warning light on new. I still think it'd going to be a bad wire harness from the wheel bearing or the bearing/trac control sensor/abs sensor. As far as it being stabilitrak, I've said it before I learn something new about vehicles almost every day.

I have 2008 Pontiac Torrent which shares many of the components of the Equinox. Both the "service stabilitrak" and "traction control" notices have been appearing for about one month now. At that first appearance An independent mechanic said no codes appeared and he reset but they were back on same day. In this one month period i put 3000 miles on the car and about half were hywy.Over the last 3 days my rt front wheel bearing went bad. In hindsight I did begin to here a humming etc about 3 weeks ago. The sensors must be very sensitive.

2008 chevy avalanche 118K miles... Stabilitrak off while driving on rainy evening, traction control off with hard gear between 1st&2nd and the engine light on came on the next day. I replaced my spark plugs and it cleared everything. Driving smoothly again...

Hello have a 2008 lt exuinox and the traction control and stability bar light keeps coming On if you get any average speed from 30on up miles per hour The hole rear end feels like it's sliding around very scary

I would have that check the rear end doing that sounds like a bad control arm theres 3 or 4 control arms on the rear of those any one of theme can make the rear sway jave it xhecked before it leaves you stranded

My left rear bearing was replaced and all is fine now

I have a 2013 Chevy Equinox. Just paid over $700 to fix Stabiltrak less than 2 weeks ago. My light is back on??? I'm very dissatisfied with this car. Nothing but problems since I bought it...a lemon. Upside down, mileage....this was a horrible deal! Thanks Chevrolet, ##anything# for #a #profit. Mspyw@hotmail.com

I have an 09 equinox and the Stabilitrak light kept coming come and after restarting it, it would go off. This past week I was turning, the light came on again, and at the same time I lost control of my power steering. I almost hit another car waiting to turn my direction. My mechanic said he ran all the codes and it came back with something about the electric steering not communication with the rest of the vehicle. He couldn't figure out what it was so he rest everything. He took it for a test drive and it was running fine. 2 days later I start it, the light is back on, and I can't turn my steering wheel. Any ideas as to what's going on?

The code was u0131

U0131 it's lost communications with the power steering module. The power steering on those equinoxes it's electric assist which could be why you can't turn the wheel. Not sure if that could cause stabilitrak issues but I would imagine it could

GuruD6V16 Your problem sounds like wheel hub assembly. I had the exact same things happening with my Camaro.

2010 Equinox LTZ AWD stabiltrak light with codes CO186 CO196. Under the drivers front carpet are a whack of wires enclosed in a white plastic case. Open the white plastic case (my clips broke) find the dark green wire, mine was loosely connected with the two other dark green wires. Resolder together. This fixed my Equinox.

I have a 2006 Chevy equinox replace the abs module with a use one does it need to be programmed

When u had my stabilitrack module replaced my engine light came on and the steering locked up again. Come to find out, there are 2 screws under the hood by the battery that holds down an 80amp fuse that were lose. They were barely on so not making too much connection. This fixed my problem. Hopefully someone else doesn't have to pay the $525 I did.

My 2013 Equinox was getting service stablitrak and service power steering. Dealer found a connector on a harness in the read that was corroded with one wire broken. They will be replacing it next week. More to follow.

Just in case it's helpful to anyone else, my Service Stabilitrack, ABS and traction control lights all came on just because I didn't properly close the gas cap after filling up the tank. (Meaning, I closed it until I heard two clicks, rather than just the one click as stated on the gas cap.) I spent HOURS Googling this issue - wheel bearings, ABS issues, hubs, etc...then I stumbled across one random reference to something involving fuel efficiency which triggered my memory that I recently filled up the gas tank. I had heard over the years that Chevy vehicles were sensitive to proper seating of the gas cap, but it took me a while to put that knowledge to good use! I unscrewed the cap, screwed it back on, and as soon as I cranked my car and put it in drive the error lights disappeared!

I have a 2011 Avalanche and the stabilitrak light is on and I am getting a check engine light with p0304 code. I have replaced everything that could be replaced but the lifter. I am running liquid moly to try and get it loose. Not one thing has changed. I going to buy a range disabler to disable the AMF system and see if that will work.

Just happened to me. It was a 80 watt fuse needing replaced.

None of this is helpful. It's like people throwing darts in the dark

Equinox 2010 2.4 litres ABS and AWD is OFF trouble ?

Equinox 2012 Stabilitrack warning light on--Very icey and slippery this morning, difficulty maneuvering on driveway. Wheels spinning on very wet, slick ice. Stabilitrack service light came on along with TCS indicator. Was still on when I went back an hour or so later and moved car back into parking space. Is something likely wrong? Don't want to spend a bunch of $$$ trying to resolve.

Anybody have any clue what this fix is

The same thing happened to me! i was driving in the highway and suddenly my steering wheel clicked and my power steering was gone. I managed to drive it like that for a couple days while I researched what the problem might be. I finally gave up after numerous hours researching. I gave up and tried trouble shooting myself! So first thing i did was get it scanned a C460 code came up and i checked the fuse and it was fine. Since that wasn't the problem; with the car off I removed the cover for the electronic power steering motor and wiggled the wiring and made sure all the connector were probably seated and clicked. I turned the car on and it started working! The power steering was back! I did not disconnect the battery or anything  I do not know if it a temporary or a permanent fix but I just started my 5th day after i did this and power steering is working fine! Saved me couple hundred of dollars of diagnostic and numerous headaches! It's worth the try!  https://youtu.be/e-jE_wxKOWY

Serviceman not sure if it's a wheel bearing or the new $2400 transfer case I just replaced. I started the engine it was making an ugly noise and then the Service Stabitrak light came on. I never had it gear at all!. Shut it off! How Annoying!

@GutuL97CP my check equinox 2005 just started the same thing today. How did you fix it?

Older equinox and Pontiac torrents will throw a traction control and/or stabilitrac warning for faulty EGR valve, not that hard to replace. Located on the top of the motor a few bolts holding it in.

i have a 2011 equinox the check engine light was on. then stabillitrac light is on the break light is on and now low tire is on i cant catch a break with this car. what do i need to do

Egr valve replaced and all lights out. 2008 Equinox

My 2012 Equinox LT AWD, The check stablitrack is always on, as well as the AWD is not working so only has front wheel drive now, and check engine light has came on, now its starting to stall in gear at low rpm. I heard it might be the wheel bearing (one of them) and the wire that connects to the harness above.
