Default Traction Control & Stability Control Warning Lights (2009 LaCrosse)

Hello,

I have a 2009 LaCrosse. Very low mileage; only about 25,000.
Car is always garaged at night.

Last Spring, the warning lights that indicate Traction Control and
Stability Control problems came on, often, and the Dealer replaced some
module under warr.

No problem since then, until-

A few days ago, they came on again, but only this once; not again since
then.

Is this a known problem with the 2009 LaCrosse ?

It only came on once since a few days ago; should I "insist" that the
module be replaced again now ?

What is actually happening to cause this, do you think ?
Is it just "random", or likely the module is, or is going,
truly bad again ? Why ?

Any thoughts on this would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob

Maybe you were in a situation where the stability function
actuated because the conditions were right for it to happen.

This happened to my wife just the other night on a different
make of car. She was scared because it had never happened
in the 4-5 years she has had that car, BUT there was
wet weather, etc, and it seemed to happen because it was
supposed to happen.

My best guess

Hi,

Thanks for help.

Nope, it was an error msg. that they both weren't operating properly.

Regards,

Could be the module. But it could another of the other
1000 or so parts in the system.
Could be rats in the wheel sensors, too.
