2007 Pontiac Torrent Stabilitrek/Traction control service light. Had GM scan and was told that I had code C0561.71 EGR Valve bad. They want 500.00 to repair. Will this really fix my problem?

    You have 2 options.

    1. Fix the fault in the traction control (TC) system (and get a couple of quotes first).
    OR
    2. If you do not want to spend the money, switch the traction control off (using the TC switch) and run the vehicle without it. You can still safely drive the vehicle without traction control. (Due to the fault in the system you will find the computer has disabled the TC it in any event).

Fix the EGR valve yourself for around $100, all you need is a 10mm socket and ratchet and 10 minutes

SOURCE: ECT sensor 2007 Pontiac Torrent

no just lower the level or be quick about plugging in the new sensor, that is what I do, u may lose a cup of coolant but much less hassle than draining the radiator.

SOURCE: how do I reset the computer on a 2007 Pontiac

Turn the key to the run position, Within 5 seconds press and release the gas pedal three times. The change engine oil light will flash while the system is resetting. Turn off the ignition. If the light or message comes back on and stays on when the vehicle is started, the engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.

SOURCE: How do i get the rear lense off my 2007 pontiac

To get the rear taillight assembly off, remove the two scews that are located under the black plastic covers when you open the rear hatch.
Pull out to the side on the front edge of the lens assembly. There are two pins located at the front of the light that just slide straight in. Remember to pull straight out the side not toward the rear of the vehicle.

What does service traction control light mean? And service stabil track light mean?

Have the car scanned for trouble codes at a local auto parts store for free. If it is related to a wheel speed sensor, the sensor is replaced as part of the wheel hub assembly. Normally, the wheel nearing makes noise that gets louder as the parts go bad. The wheel speed sensor picks up these vibrations before they can be heard. The abnormal noises confuse the abs and traction control computer. An easy way to verify this condition is that when you first state the vehicle, all the trouble lights are dark. Once the vehicle starts moving, the light show begins.

Wheel hub swap on this vehicle can be done in one day on both front wheels. Typically, when one side fails, the other is not far behind.

2007 pontiac torrent problems. I have a 2007 Pontiac Torrent, when you run it fast enough to jump into passing gear it makes a popping sound and the rpms flat line a zero. After about a half mile drive...

Sounds like the rev limiter is kicking in when the transmission drops out. Check for a speed sensor fault in the tranny. Perform an OBDII scan of the stored fault history. If the speed sensor or torque converter lock up solenoid is bad it will show up on the OBDII scan

Idles rough in reverse

either your EGR valve, but then you would also receive a traction control/stabilitrack light, or you could be due for spark plug and ignition wire/spark plug wire replacement(tune up)
I have a 2008 torrent that was doing the same thing but I also had my EGR Valve causing the stabilitrack/traction control light to come on. I thoroughly cleaned my EGR tube, ports in engine and EGR Valve as well as the air intake(all with carb cleaner) then reassembled and changed my spark plugs and ignition/spark plug wires. with NGK parts. solved my problem so I hope this will help you as well

How do i reset the security light on a 2008 pontiac torrent

The FIRST thing that should be done is to scan your computer network and find out why the security light is on in the first place.

With that being said, I have fixed many security light/no-start problems (as well as many other body control codes - including non-communications codes) on several GM vehicles by disconnecting the Body Control Module (BCM) connectors and cleaning the pins and applying dielectric grease on them in accordance with GM Technical Service Bulletin 09-06-03-004D.

2002 a4 2.5 tdi quattro Traction control light comes on loss of power.. Got the egr valve replaced.. still the same...

traction control has nothing to do with the egr valve.

likely you have a bad wheel speed sensor somewhere.

Have the ABS scanned with a scan tool at your dealer
perhaps.

Hope this helps.
