Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Tahoe owners report experiencing a "Service Stabilitrak" warning light along with traction control issues and an engine light after extended driving. These warning lights may indicate problems with the system's sensors or the vehicle's stability control, often triggered by issues with wheel speed sensors, steering input, or engine trouble. A failed sensor is frequently cited as a common cause, leading to incorrect output and the activation of warning lights. Additionally, wheel speed sensors can contribute to traction light issues, particularly in relation to misfires. Owners may also notice symptoms such as rough idling, the SES light, and messages indicating that Stabilitrak is off or that Service Traction Control is needed. Other symptoms can include the Service 4wd light illuminating and poor vehicle idling, which may suggest lean conditions in the engine. It is recommended that affected owners have their vehicles inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and resolve any underlying issues for safety and optimal performance.
