Those type of lights have been on vehicles for 15 years,some for 30 years.
What's the issues. If you don't understand the technology, and have a scanner,it will have to go in to a repair shop, to be proper diagnosed and fixed. The lights are on because you have system failures

05 Chevy avalanche lt Brake and abs lights come on after I start driving seems like after maybe 3 to 4 miles. Can feel it lightly trying to either brake or dragging and hear a slight grinding when they...

Hello Dustin..your ABS Brake warning lamps are indicating a problem within the system. You could have a leak in the hydraulic system (master cylinder/wheel cylinder/brake line) or you may have a problem with the ABS pump itself or a problem with your power brake booster. Check your fluid reservoir located on top of your master brake cylinder...if the fluid level is extremely low that would indicate a leak in the system or a lack of sufficient material left on your brake pads. Have it checked out by a qualified brake shop as soon as possible.

HI,can a car who has fault service stab sys traction failed abs shown on their vehicle continue to drive it or does it need to be fixed as soon as possible. thank you for your reply

You can still drive it but the ride and safety will be affected. I recommend you get vehicle fixed at earliest as can. The vehicle will skid if hit brakes hard. Stability will also be affected

My 2003 cts fill like im driving with a flat tire. Then the service stability system light comes on my navigation. How do I now what to fix?

SERVICE STABILITY SYS
Refer to ABS Description and Operation in Antilock Brake System ! You need to take it an have DTC'S diagnostic trouble codes read ! That will point you to a diagnostic path !
Vehicle Stability Enhancement System (VSES)
The vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) adds an additional level of vehicle control to the electronic brake control module (EBCM).
Yaw rate is the rate of rotation about the vehicle's vertical axis. The VSES is activated when the EBCM determines that the desired yaw rate does not match the actual yaw rate as measured by the yaw rate sensor.
The desired yaw rate is calculated from the following parameters:
?€¢
The position of the steering wheel


?€¢
The speed of the vehicle


?€¢
The lateral, or sideways acceleration of the vehicle

The difference between the desired yaw rate and the actual yaw rate is the yaw rate error, which is a measurement of oversteer or understeer. If the yaw rate error becomes too large, the EBCM attempts to correct the vehicle's yaw motion by applying differential braking to the appropriate wheel. The amount of differential braking applied to the left or right front wheel is based on both the yaw rate error and side slip rate error.
The VSES activations generally occur during aggressive driving, in turns or on bumpy roads without much use of the accelerator pedal. When braking during VSES activation, the pedal pulsations feel different than the ABS pedal pulsations. The brake pedal pulsates at a higher frequency during VSES activation.
If you do not know about this , I suggest you take it to a ASE certified repair shop that does !

Faulty Reading? Brake Fluid Level, ABS and tracking system warning light

If your hub (wheel bearing) is starting to go bad, the sensor can fault as well for the ABS (stabilitrack, etc) as it is all inside the hub assembly. Whatever the issue, once it is resolved, the light will go out. A scan should tell you which wheel is throwing you the code.
The instrument cluster can be taken out pretty easily (2 trim screws and 4 on cluster itself I think) and the bulbs are easy to put out and replace. My cluster was replaced under warranty for 1 burnt out bulb and got a reman that crapped out after a year now out of warranty.

2010 equinox abs stabil trak and all wheel drive off

Why not use you warrantee at the dealer

We can not diagnose a vehicle without it
& you gave us no codes

The point here is you risking damage with a
skid,trac,abs etc issue if you keep driving it

All wheel drive I would never get on anything unless
your a vehicle tech & know how to use it & repair it
they do & will fail more then other combinations

Stability control engaged and my traction contol comes on at intersections for 4-6 seconds , the power drops, causes a panic in the intersection. Dealership says their are no codes in the denali to support...

vibration would have loosened the solder joint on one of the main two leads into the ABS pump on the ABS module.checkout and replace the defective solder, the stability control will work again.
