2014 Sonic runs great unless the service Stabilitrack light comes on then it is in limp mode and won’t get over 3K rpm’s. I’ve scoured these threads and haven’t found anything please help!!

What triggers StabiliTrak?
The stabilitrak is related to the traction control, if a wheel starts to spin the system will attempt to control that, reducing wheel spin and restoring traction.
It is the same system working to reduce brake lockup during braking.
To reset the Service Stabilitrak light, you can:
Turn the steering wheel clockwise all the way
Turn the steering wheel counterclockwise all the way
Wait 15 seconds before turning on the vehicle

some mornings I turn the car on and it’s on, if I let it run for about an hour it will eventually go off but as far as I can tell nothing is triggering it. This morning I started the car at 430 am and the light was on and by 530 am the light was off. It’s incredibly frustrating

some common reasons why this light might illuminate:
Faulty Wheel Speed Sensors: These sensors monitor the speed of each wheel and communicate with the Stabilitrak system. If one or more sensors are malfunctioning, it can trigger the warning light.
Low Traction Conditions: If the system detects that the vehicle is losing traction (due to slippery roads, for example), it may activate the light as part of its normal operation.
Steering Angle Sensor Issues: This sensor helps the system determine the vehicle's steering position. If it’s out of calibration or faulty, it can cause the light to turn on.
Brake System Problems: Issues with the ABS or brake system can also trigger the Stabilitrak warning.
Electrical Issues: Problems with the wiring or connections related to the Stabilitrak system may cause the light to appear.
Faulty Control Module: The module that controls the Stabilitrak system might be malfunctioning.

Which of those components do you reckon is related to letting it run for so long and the light going off?
