What is service stabilitrak?

StabiliTrak is a stability control system that helps improve vehicle stability and handling in a variety of driving conditions. It uses sensors to detect if the vehicle is not responding properly to driver input, such as skidding or sliding, and then applies brakes to individual wheels or reduces engine power to help regain control.

If the StabiliTrak system detects a problem, such as a malfunction in one of the sensors or components, it will typically illuminate a warning light on the dashboard and display a message such as "Service StabiliTrak" or "StabiliTrak Off." When this happens, it is important to have the system checked by a qualified mechanic or dealership to diagnose and repair the issue.

Ignoring a StabiliTrak warning light could result in reduced vehicle stability and control, especially in slippery or high-speed driving conditions. It is always best to address any warning lights or messages from the vehicle's onboard diagnostic system as soon as possible to ensure safe and reliable driving.
