Stabilitrak
 
I was driving last night and my 09 Saturn Vue xe, displayed stabilitrak off, then the abs, traction control, and hand brake light began flashing. My head lights also flickered constantly. I had an hour and half drive, and they did it the whole drive. There was no loss of power or braking. What could be the problem? Side note 2 days ago I left my house, and the car wouldn't shift, I turned it off and back on,and it was ok after. Also, a week ago, I wasn't able to use cruise control. As well as last night, it would turn on but shut right back off. And it felt like the road was slippery, but it hasn't rained, I live in PHX and it has been a long time since any rain. Thank you in advance for any help or advice.

Please go to AutoZone or similar and have them read the diagnostic codes for your vehicle. It's free. Please post them here as Pxxxx where the x's atr numbers.

If you have access to an actual scanner, by all means use that. It will provide us more diagnostic information.

I did that earlier, my check engine light isn't on, and O'Reilly's said that there is a code, but they can't see it. They asked if I had reset the check engine light or had work done. I told them 2 days ago the check engine light was on, but the next day it wasn't. So they said I had to drive like 50 .miles before they would be able to see the code

Is it all depends on what the error condition is

If they cleared the codes, some of the emissions tests May take up to 50 miles to run and complete.

You need to find someone with a code scanner. There are other codes that the computer stores that cannot be read by the code reader at AutoZone. Also, be sure to have the codes read with a scanner when the check engine light is on.

I know the check engine light has to be on, but some scanners can read historical codes, which is what I thought O'Reilly's would be able to do. But I'll try auto zone in the morning.

AutoZone will not be able to provide any more informations.
They use a code reader, just like O'Reilly's.

If you mean going to AutoZone to purchase a capable scanner, then okay/cool.

I posted this in case it was the former case so that you would not waste your time.
