SOURCE: The following lights keep coming

These are WARNING lights! They are trying to warn you that there is a malfunction in your brake and traction control systems. The most common problem would be that one of your wheel speed sensors are not working properly. The only way to find out for sure is to access the computer system data and find out why it has been turning the lights on. (There will be fault codes stored in memory)

The torque converter clutch circuit may be at fault. The best way to determine the problem is to have a scanner/computer to read check engine codes.

Hello
Anytime this happens the computer that controls the systems of the car sets a fault code in memory, what are the codes you are getting? without that information it is impossible to even guess the problem. Another issue is this, did the dealer confirm the problem? Another point is that if you attempt any repairs you will void the warranty, and trust me they will do it. What would this 35 year dealer tech advise? Contact the dealer and request a GM factory service engineer get involved in the repair, then you WILL get the problem resolved. You can also call GM, the number is in the owners manual.

Parts swapping is no way for a dealership to service vehicles...

I cannot troubleshoot your problem remotely but I can suggest that you discuss this with the dealerships manager to inquire about the validity of the above advice you have received.

Parts replacement without confirmation of a defective part is a very amateur procedure and should NOT be performed by professional mechanics, so unless the "dealership" is prepared to install free parts until your problem is resolved I would look for resolution from your dealership or a qualified shop to provide a proper diagnosis, estimate of repair costs and a warranty for work done to eliminate your intermittent fault.

My car is saying service ESC

That light means that the computer control module has detected a fault in the Electronic stability control system and it turned on the light to alert you. Right now the system is turned off for your safety. You now need the system scanned for the fault code that is set in the control modules memory.

Hi,the traction control light coming up means there is a fault detected in the system and a scan tool will be required to learn what fault has been detected. Possible steering angle sensor, wheel speed sensor or brake pressure sensor since the light comes up when making turns or when backing up. Faults are to be checked and proper diagnostic procedures carried out before parts replacement remedies.....
