What is the fix for 2007 pontiac g6 "service traction" and "check engine" lights coming on

The "service traction" message appears on the info center. The "TC" indicator also lights. After approx. 20 miles the "check engine" indicator also came on. I checked the gas cap; it was on correctly.

SOURCE: transmission fluid for 2007 pontiac G6 GT

This car does not have a auto trans dipstick, the level can only be checked by the dealer, this is a growing trend that started with most German cars, the filter is inside the trans pan and only needs changing every 60,000 miles.

SOURCE: Changing blinker on 2007 Pontiac G6

It's a monster pain to get to them, but it's doable. Once you empty the trunk, you'll see 4 black knobs - approx 1.5 inches in diameter. You'll need to remove all of these (they just unscrew, but they are plastic, so be careful not to strip the threading) in order to access the rear light assembly.

They're in there snug, but once you find the appropriate sized socket (I wish I could recall well enough to tell you what size, b/c I remember that it WAS an odd size), you'll have to remove all 3 bolts and then push the whole assembly out from inside the trunk.

Once the assembly is out, you will see the rear of the sockets, which simply push and turn to get the lamps out of. As long as you have everything open, I suggest changing ALL of the lamps (brake, tail, and turn signal) on BOTH sides, since the lamp life for all of these is about the same and it's such a pain to get to them in the first place.

SOURCE: replace the pontiac G6 center console light

You should be able to open the cover piece that holds both lights. This piece if you take a flat head screwdriver carefully, just pry the plastic cover (not the actual push buttons), and release it. You should now have access to the lightbulbs for replacement.

I have a 2007 Pontiac G6 my display is reading red. engine power service traction soon and my check engine light has been on since this problem started. please help

these links can assist you the C0242 code is set due to the P2135 code the C0242 is set due to the computer not being able to perfomr traction control due to the P2135 code
repairing the P2135 code will correct the C0242 code
the P2135 is saying the computer sees the 2 throttle position sensors built into the throttle body do not match
this is usually cause by one of 2 things
1 ) the connection at the throttle body or possible terminal crimps inside the connector have bad connections
2 ) the throttle body itself has an internal failure
the best action to take is to pick up a tube of dielectric grease sold at most local auto parts stores and disconnect the connector at the throttle body and pack the connector with the grease then plug it back in and clear the codes and see if the problem goes away
if the problem comes back replace the throttle body connector sold at most dealers and shrink wrap in the new connector to the existing wires one at a time
if the problem still does not go away then replace the throttle body https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/p2135-obd-ii-trouble-code-throttle-pedal-position-sensor-switch-a-b-voltage-correlation-by-blake-griffin https://www.engine-codes.com/c0242.html

Going up a hill, traction and break lights comes on (service traction-break fluid) message on my screen, got to top of hill and slowed down, lights came off. 2008 pontiac g6

Make sure your brake fluid is at the correct level. Any issue with the brake system will cause the traction system to not work as traction control works by modulating the brake on the wheel (s) that are slipping. If fluid level is fine then the sensor for the fluid level may be bad.

Turn ignition to run engine off. Display OIL LIFE RESET in the Driver Information Center (DIC). Press and hold the ENTER button for at least one second. An ACKNOWLEDGED’ display message will appear for three second or until the next button is pressed. This will tell you the system has been reset. Turn the key to OFF. If the “CHANGE ENGINE OIL” message comes back on when you start your vehicle, the engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.
