Service Stabilitrak. PLEASE HELP - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

2014 Camaro 1LT w/RS
80,466 miles at time of posting.

It's been running perfectly up until this morning when suddenly the Service Stabilitrak message pops up on the HUD. ABS, Traction Control, and a few other lights kicked on. Photo attached.

From everything I've found online I can't make a solid idea on what might be wrong as this all started all of a sudden this morning. Below is a list of what I know for certain.

.Cruise Control still works fine.
.No weird smells or sounds.
.Key kept getting stuck in ignition this morning, would only come out after waiting several minutes and power cycling the car. However, since leaving work that hasn't been a problem.
.Seems to be running fine at idle and shifting fine.
.Only mods to the car are cosmetic. Louvers on the windows and the 6th gen ZL1 conversion bumper from IKON.
.About a month ago the front, driver's side fender liner broke out. Just got the replacement but it hasn't been installed yet which makes me think the dirt and debris could've jacked with wheel speed sensors but I'm not a professional so idk.
.Brake lights still work
.Went and got it scanned at AutoZone, not a single code. Came back clean.

I'm at a loss. I'm so confused on what is causing this. Any help would be greatly appreciated bc im not one to let dash lights sit.

I'd start with a battery maybe. These things are notorious for giving all kinds of trouble when the battery starts to fade. Even if it has plenty of juice to start the car. GL

I don't think Autozone scans for anything beyond ECM codes. The Stabilitrak can be set by other modules. It needs to be scanned by a tool that can read the other modules.

Check battery

Battery or battery cables.

Its been a while but I think I had similar indications when my battery got to be about 6 years old. Even though the car started I replaced it. I never checked voltage on battery just figured it was old enough to replace. Fixed warnings.

Curious...when your Stabilitrak and TCS lights came on, did you also get the service power steering indicator? And was it just lights and indicators, or did your steering wheel start acting as if there was an issue with your power steering?

Get a new battery.

If you have the origin from 2014, don't even bother testing it. Just get it replaced.

Maybe related, maybe not. I just replaced the battery. Twice, while driving down the road I get the “service stabilitrak” and a flashing check engine light and nothing else. And then it’s gone. No other indicators and no limp mode. What do you think?
