My Daughters 2007 Equinox was having the same problem, I was getting the service Stabilitrac, P0404 & P0405. Two weeks ago I cleaned the EGR valve because the plunger was stuck but all codes came back. Replaced the EGR valve and cleared the codes & all is good. Thanks and much appreciated.
Thank you very much for this video---had codes P0404, P0405, P0115 and P1779 plus the service stabilitrac and traction control warning lights. One shop said they needed to go into the transmission and replace a few parts-cost: $2400. I replaced the EGR myself with ease with the help of your step by step video...result: problem RESOLVED and FIXED! ALL codes and warning lights cleared and passed state inspection. Cost: $80 part, zero labor expense!
i have this problem on my 2009 pontiac torrent. i replaced my egr valve a couple of months ago and come to find out the new one was bad and didnt start showing up until about two weeks ago. thank you for this video. it saved me i dont know how much because i was able to do it all myself and my problems were exactly what you described (no shift lag or hard shifting, just the lights on my dash) so it was easily diagnosed and now its all fixed.
I had the same faults on my 08 equinox 3.4L six weeks ago. Removed EGR valve sprayed the heck out of it with almost a whole spray can of carburetor cleaner, 3 times in 1/2 hr period. Waited over night and sprayed again, waited 2 hrs for it dry and installed it again. Has been running perfectly fine for the six weeks. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Any time you have to take oil cap off to do something other than adding oil , cover opening to keep from dropping ANY THING in there, Have a good day!!
thanks this video help me i hav a 2007 equinox with service traction control service stabilitrak and check engine light code p0404 and p0403 i changed the egr valve as the car doctor said clear the code and the problem was fixed.Thanks again car doctor.
Thanks, I've been stalling on replacing my EGR for a couple of months even though ODM II said there was EGR system problem after I took into to a garage to change rear plugs - short arms - garage wrote on WO had a cracked ERG tube. Couldn't find one on single tube 07 Equinox, or soot on tube but outside tube heat shield was sooty. Also had "service Stability Trak" come on and off for 5 -7 years - ignored it. Then soon after the plug change had "service traction control" come on and alternate with the "Stability Trak " service warning - engine (EGR) fault light always on ... so decided after getting three warning lights time to get serious as they light the dashboard up too much and couldn't see outside temp or Odometer without cycling messages each time I started car. (engine and the 2 messages service lights). Checked the web to see if wasting money - found the save money item about a loose hose from filter to back of valve cover but not a problem - in place. Found a few but came across the three alert signs above you mentioned. Replaced EGR valve and cancelled codes ... so far so good ... there not back. Only thing I noted was the bolts holding the original EGR valve body to bolts to engine were a bit slack for my liking - maybe source of soot on outside of heat shield at end nearest valve body connection ?
There is an updated egr valve with a new plug in too.Has to be programed with the Tech 2 after being replaced.The tube also gets bad causing an exhaust leak
Great video. I have to replace mine on my 09 Torrent about every 2 years. Very common problem. Thankfully I went to Oriellies and have a lifetime part warranty.
Had a 2005 Equinox with a 3.4 liter engine and AWD. Best car I ever owned. Gave it to the granddaughter and bough a 2014 Equinox with 3.4 liter engine and AWD. Thanks for sharing the information! You have a great channel.
Wow...I have a 2007 chevy equinox...I just scrape off some carbon inside the egr valve and used WD-40 being careful not to get electrical parts wet...traction light went off and so far didn't go back on...eventually may be a good idea to install a brand new gm egr valve...Thank you car doctor.
Hi...mine started just recently...you start car and it shows service traction control,service stabilitract, traction control off on my wife's 07 equinox..has109,000 miles... sometime s if u let it sit it will not come bk on...does the fix in the video fix all those .. thanks
Thanks! Had an EGR valve code. Replaced it cleared it check engine light off, and service stabilitrak & traction control lights are now off. I've already had one wheel sensor fail a couple of yrs ago so I thought another one was bad... Nope.
Hi there 1st thank you for the great job on this video, but I have a question cause we changed the part cleared the codes and unfortunately the "Service Stabilitrak" error message came back! Except this time we don't loose power while driving! Any suggestions as to what else it would be?
Have the problem with my 07 Equinox, taking it to my Dad's tomorrow to the EGR valve replaced so we shall see if all the lovely lights go away! Other than the annoying lights on the dash it drive great.
Yes, we replaced the EGR Valve and all lights were gone. Haven't had anymore problems. I just have one question what the heck does the EGR Valve have to do with the Traction Control and Stabilitrac?
Nothing. They just figure since it's an engine control and the engine is related to the traction control system that it should illuminate the check engine and traction control light whenever an engine code sets. I think they really just want to scare the crap out of the owner so they bring it in for service.
My buddy and I were able to change the egr valve but I noticed when I took off my oil cap how low my oil level is. I'm making sure I can top off my oil with regular tap water so it won't overheat just till I get paid this Friday? Just kidding. Helpful video, thankyou
Is this a common problem with this make of vehicle and if I replace the EGR valve should I also replace the EGR tube or is it not necessary to do? Thanks in advance
Haven't gone that far, yet.My wife and I just got this vehicle (2008 Equinox AWD) and noticed that the service traction/Stability light turning on once in a while. But will be taking it in for a check up. Thanks for the fast reply and info ;)
Hello, your right on, in my case the tube had rot holes in it,easily missed so I replaced the tube and valve and cannot get rid of code p0405? voltages are good! put old valve back and still the same. c0561 is caused by this for sure! let me know any thoughts?
I have an illuminated check engine and T/C and A.B.S. lights that come on. Until they actually do come on my brakes shutter when I apply pressure to the brake pedal.
Mine is doing the same thing as I put on my break it is like grabbing and my tc and abs lights r on what is causing the noice when I use my breaks and my tc and abs r on my foot pushes the paddle to stop and it's a grabbing noice help
Lance Sheppard thanks dude....please let me know if it fixes it. Does your peddle feel like its grinding or jumping when braking? Unless you go over 40 then the system seems to shut the abs off?
Update* this happened again about 2 days ago. This time instead of cleaning it again I just went and bought a new one. I think there are just some spots up in that valve that are hard to get all the carbon out. Thanks again for your help.
I have an 05 equinox 3400 engine. My abs and traction control light come on when I break. But it don’t do it all the time. What can be the cause of the lights coming on
I’m no mechanic by any means and I Believe I came to the right place but just to make sure would this issue make it so when u come to a stop and go again would engine kind of rev up as it moves slowly and I really hope I asked this question properly you see I was on my way to work and noticed my traction service light on for my 2009 Chevrolet Equinox I’m uncertain if it’s a 3.4 but I’m just trying to have some questions answered as I have a baby on way next month and Christmas next week I just bought this vehicle beginning of last month
I had this happen to my 2013 Equinox over the weekend. Went from Fla to TN, when I started the car the next day, it shuddered, and the "StabiliTrak" notice popped up with the Chrck Engine light, but after 1 minute it went away. I was able to make it back home to Fla yesterday and it never did come on again, but I'm getting it checked out today
Okay I have a question I have a Chevy Equinox 2007 okay they're so small wire coming from underneath the fuse box ... It almost look it almost look like a ground wire anyways it's unplugged where do I plug it do I plug it on the pasta side on the negative side
Probably a wire from an aftermarket device thats been removed or disabled. I wouldnt connect it anywhere unless you know what circuit its meant to connect to.
Yes it doesn't it doesn't it's Darius because it was it was it was like tied back with a with a black tape so I don't know if it's supposed to go on the block or in the raid because it was unplugged so I just trying to plug it somewhere I just don't know where it goes I did not know if it was if it came like that or what but yeah I don't think he has any any use for it right
Can I ask you one more question sir thank you so much for answering my question about that wire thank you so much but I will not plug it anywhere else yes I will not I will not plug it anywhere I was just going to put it back on black tape and you know make sure it doesn't touch anything right
Where is the transmission stick where you check the transmission fluid do you know where that stick is located on a Chevy Equinox and how can I check it
I changed mine and the line itself and everything's fine except for when I go into passing gear the throws the same code any suggestions could it be the air flow sensor which I cleaned but did not change? Becoming annoying
Hello, Car Doctor. “ Service stabiltrack “ comes up on the dash display on my 2014 equinox. It also starts missing and running like hell when the code comes up. Will the EGR valve also cause me to run like crap?
I have a 2007 Equinox and it making noise when I press on the gas like a motor cycle. do you know what I need to do to fix the loud noise problem. Car Doctor
Please Help!! The codes that mine is throwing out is P2138, P0700, P1125 and P0120. The ABS and TC lights have been on but now my check engine light has come on. Please tell me uf this would be a fix for my suv.( 2006 equinox)
Thank you for your help I have a 206 Good battery turn 🗝️ to on or start position no dash lights not getting power to area in fuse box under hood also fuse box inside the car wire's from pcm have power where do I start checked all fuses they are good
They just say that since it effects the engine controls it also effects traction and ABS. They just want your dash to light up like a Christmas tree to get you into the dealership for repairs.
Hi! I have a problem with my 2012 chevy traverse. everytime my car slips in snow the traction control turns off and the stability track service / check engine light flashes. I usually just turns off the engine and when i turn it back on the vehicle goes back to normal. Can you please give me an advice as to what i need to do? Thank you very much!
I have a question I’ve had several guys look at my 2010 Chevy Equinox and no one can find the problem. When driving my suv it feels like I’m smashing the brakes but I’m not after about 20 mins my suv will come to a complete stop it won’t go over 20 mph and that’s max . I disabled the abs module to see if it needed replaced and took the fusses out and that’s not the issue. So I put everything back to the way it was and it’s not getting any better. Can you please let me know what could be wrong with my car the stability light is on and the tire pressure light is on and the check engine like . The stability track light comes on right before it locks up and it’s all four tires .
Have a 09 Pontiac torrent that the rear brake light and turn signal stopped working after the abs light came on. Any ideas? Abs light is no longer on and Heard it could be the abs sensor. Thanks
Hello car doctor am having an issue and I would really like your help . Do u think a transmission on a Jeep liberty 2006 992 aa is same as Dodge Dakota 2006 also 992 aa??
you don't have to clear the codes but it will take a while before the light goes off on its own. It must pass several drive cycles before the PCM decides its fixed. Good luck!
My check engine light and the traction control light comes on after driving for an hour straight.. .. Then they both disappear after not driving it that far a couple of days later.. This keeps happening over and over again... If I don't drive far for 2 weeks.. Lights stay off.. Anyone have any idea what that means?
I have a question about this.. I have this grinding sound. Feels like it's right under my feet when I drive or hit the break. Now when I do my ABS comes on traction control, when this happens I don't hear anymore grinding sound it runs smoother.. My 08 Equinox was in the shop for a week & they couldn't figure it out.. So we replaced front & rear breaks, the ball joints, inner & outer tie rods, & the wheel bearing along with an linement... Any tip in what can cause this grinding..anything, anybody. The shop I had it worked at ran me 1300 for all that.. Then they tell me to pick this ABS system or something I'm unaware of & run me another 300,.So I took my keys & left.
I have a 2010 Equinox LTZ and it did it a few times last winter and was great all summer, was -2 the other night and it did it and the past 2 days did it bad again was -17 in toronto this am....you think it might be same thing
yep I have been reading up on the service stablitrack and service traction control and there are videos ranging from All i did was change the EGR valve to All I did was change the ground wire to the block.. Everyone else says they have had it in time after time after time.. There isnt a specific fuse on the 2007 torrent to just say screw it and pull it If I ever find the fuse responsible you can betcha I would throw it as far as I can. Im sure the dealer will say its this and this and this and 1,900 dollars later its something else now.. This is what you get for buying a piece of crap.. No wonder pontiac went under.
It probably still has active codes, you just need to check all modules with a professional level scan tool. I'd bet serial data bus faults are stored in multiple modules related to stability control system...just a helpful hint...I realize I'm late to reply.
I have a 2007 Chevy Equinox with the same lights on but the rear wheel bearing is bad would that cause the lights to come on? Also do you have a video on how to replace the rear wheel bearing on the equinox? When we brake and the road is even a little wet or ice/ snow the car doesn't want to stop any ideas could the wheel Bearing cause that?
The ABS and traction control lights can come on because of an ABS sensor problem. Checking the ABS system codes and data can help pinpoint the issue. A bad wheel bearing can most certainly cause the issues you are having.
I have a 07 chevy equinox and I wanted to know what to do about my fuel pump leaking running down my gas. do you have a video on how to change it with out having to go to the dealership or getting over charge on fixing it

Not Only The Traction Off Whatever Light Came On, But Turning The Steering wheel Was Next To IMPOSSIBLE!!!! So Does This FIX REALLY WORK IN MY SITUATION Aswell 🤔
I have replaced the EGR valve on this equinox twice and it only makes it run really bad . When I put the original valve back on the vehicle runs fine but the stability track light remains on. What am I doing wrong?
kennylacombe no!!! New thermostat will fix that also look for frade wires at temp sensor pig tail!! And legume replacing thermostat replace water pump very cheap and easy!!
Good evening....Can you help me...I have a problem with my Chevrolet Equinox car..2014 model and no one could solve it...How can I contact you...Accept my regards
Can this also be the culprit in the case of a 2008 Chevy Silverado? I have the service stabilitrack and service traction control coming up on my truck it is running a little rough.
+Amanda Pulido If you can pull any codes and let me know what they are I might be able to help. Its likely not the same issue as discussed here. Try dropping by an auto parts store that will check your codes for you then let me know.
Hello Car Doctor, so i just replaced the EGR Valve on my 2007 Equinox thanks to this video you posted and need to know how to reset the codes? will disconnecting the battery reset the codes?
Hey Car Doctor, I need help about my chevy 2009. Changed the Heater core, had to break down the whole dashboard and since all is back together, the Traction Control goes off alone. Have to turn it off and it's better. I have touched the EGR plug while i did the job...Where can that problem would come from ? Any idea ? Had trouble to take off the AirBag on my steering wheel. Does it have a sensor or wire that i might have broken ?
I have an 08 equinox 3.4L, it has a p1779 stored and service stabiltrak light that comes on intermittently, but no p0405 code or check engine light. would an egr replacement fix this? Thanks for the video!
My Daughters 2007 Equinox was having the same problem, I was getting the service Stabilitrac, P0404 & P0405. Two weeks ago I cleaned the EGR valve because the plunger was stuck but all codes came back. Replaced the EGR valve and cleared the codes & all is good. Thanks and much appreciated.
Thank you very much for this video---had codes P0404, P0405, P0115 and P1779 plus the service stabilitrac and traction control warning lights.

thanks this video help me i hav a 2007 equinox with service traction control service stabilitrak and check engine light code p0404 and p0403 i changed the egr valve as the car doctor said clear the code and the problem was fixed.Thanks again car doctor.
Excellent! Thanks for the follow up. Always love a success story.

Great video. I have to replace mine on my 09 Torrent about every 2 years. Very common problem. Thankfully I went to Oriellies and have a lifetime part warranty.
Every 2 years? Thanks for the info.
Had a 2005 Equinox with a 3.4 liter engine and AWD. Best car I ever owned. Gave it to the granddaughter and bough a 2014 Equinox with 3.4 liter engine and AWD. Thanks for sharing the information! You have a great channel.
+Rick Anderson Solid engine and great choice. Thanks for stopping in!
Wow...I have a 2007 chevy equinox...I just scrape off some carbon inside the egr valve and used WD-40 being careful not to get electrical parts wet...traction light went off and so far didn't go back on...eventually may be a good idea to install a brand new gm egr valve...Thank you car doctor.
That's great! Glad you saved some bucks. I like to run the engine for a short time without the valve in also to blow the carbon out too. Take care!
Many thanks for the video!
I REALLY appreciate that you give a solid view of the part numbers for the components one needs.
Thanks again :)
My pleasure!
Hi...mine started just recently...you start car and it shows service traction control,service stabilitract, traction control off on my wife's 07 equinox..has109,000 miles... sometime s if u let it sit it will not come bk on...does the fix in the video fix all those .. thanks
eric rushwin change plugs or regap old ones
Would replacing the EGR valve work for this problem if there is no check engine light just the traction control light and stabilitrac?
Thanks! Had an EGR valve code. Replaced it cleared it check engine light off, and service stabilitrak & traction control lights are now off. I've already had one wheel sensor fail a couple of yrs ago so I thought another one was bad... Nope.
Hi there 1st thank you for the great job on this video, but I have a question cause we changed the part cleared the codes and unfortunately the "Service Stabilitrak" error message came back! Except this time we don't loose power while driving! Any suggestions as to what else it would be?
Have the problem with my 07 Equinox, taking it to my Dad's tomorrow to the EGR valve replaced so we shall see if all the lovely lights go away! Other than the annoying lights on the dash it drive great.
I hope it works. Let us know how it goes. Take care
Yes, we replaced the EGR Valve and all lights were gone. Haven't had anymore problems. I just have one question what the heck does the EGR Valve have to do with the Traction Control and Stabilitrac?

Thank you for a video that is short, sweet and to the point! This has helped me tremendously!
My 2006 Pontiac Torrent shuts down randomly and the TC light comes on traction control could that be the same problem you are demonstrating
Could this also come from a plugged-up cat?
Would the P1779 code pop up because of a P0449 code in the ECU? Those are the only 2 codes I found with my scanner.
My buddy and I were able to change the egr valve but I noticed when I took off my oil cap how low my oil level is.
I'm making sure I can top off my oil with regular tap water so it won't overheat just till I get paid this Friday?
Just kidding. Helpful video, thankyou
I tried it with pellegrino it works
Changed the EGR valve on my equinox, check engine light is gone, but stability track service warning phrase still there.
Is this a common problem with this make of vehicle and if I replace the EGR valve should I also replace the EGR tube or is it not necessary to do? Thanks in advance
No just the valve. Does it have the EGR code?
Haven't gone that far, yet.My wife and I just got this vehicle (2008 Equinox AWD) and noticed that the service traction/Stability light turning on once in a while. But will be taking it in for a check up. Thanks for the fast reply and info ;)
Mine had a significant crack in the tube where it’s welded. Heard all kinds of stupid ideas about the stabilitrack light changed tube problem gone
Hello, your right on, in my case the tube had rot holes in it,easily missed so I replaced the tube and valve and cannot get rid of code p0405? voltages are good! put old valve back and still the same. c0561 is caused by this for sure! let me know any thoughts?
My Vehicle has a check engine light, TC light, ABS, and Brake light. Would this problem cause the Brake light to come on too?
I have an illuminated check engine and T/C and A.B.S. lights that come on. Until they actually do come on my brakes shutter when I apply pressure to the brake pedal.
Bummer
Mine is doing the same thing as I put on my break it is like grabbing and my tc and abs lights r on what is causing the noice when I use my breaks and my tc and abs r on my foot pushes the paddle to stop and it's a grabbing noice help
Im having the same thing happening anyone know the solution?
Lance Sheppard awesome man....please let me know. How much did they run you? Looks like a medium sized job hmmmm
Lance Sheppard thanks dude....please let me know if it fixes it. Does your peddle feel like its grinding or jumping when braking? Unless you go over 40 then the system seems to shut the abs off?
Replaced it, fixed the stabiltrack for about 45 mins then put it back into limp mode, what do I do now I'm lost at this point
Dude your awesome had the same issue sprayed my valve out with throttle body cleaner and kept it pushing thanks
Update* this happened again about 2 days ago. This time instead of cleaning it again I just went and bought a new one. I think there are just some spots up in that valve that are hard to get all the carbon out. Thanks again for your help.
Hi. Had code p0404. Replaced EGR twice with Delphi and Acdelco. Then wiring harness, tube and ECM. Pretty penny. Still stabiltrak and p0404. Help!
I have an 05 equinox 3400 engine. My abs and traction control light come on when I break. But it don’t do it all the time. What can be the cause of the lights coming on
What does that have to do with the stability Trac light???
Erik Haack it’s just dirty!!! Put new plugs and air filter!! And a good cleaner in fuel
I’m no mechanic by any means and I Believe I came to the right place but just to make sure would this issue make it so when u come to a stop and go again would engine kind of rev up as it moves slowly and I really hope I asked this question properly you see I was on my way to work and noticed my traction service light on for my 2009 Chevrolet Equinox I’m uncertain if it’s a 3.4 but I’m just trying to have some questions answered as I have a baby on way next month and Christmas next week I just bought this vehicle beginning of last month
Do you have more information on the Chevy Equinox
I had this happen to my 2013 Equinox over the weekend. Went from Fla to TN, when I started the car the next day, it shuddered, and the "StabiliTrak" notice popped up with the Chrck Engine light, but after 1 minute it went away. I was able to make it back home to Fla yesterday and it never did come on again, but I'm getting it checked out today
Was it the EGR valve
EGR???
I live here in anchorage ak may i know your exact location i have a problem with my chevy equinox sir thank u
What happen if change the EGR valve but I don't have the scanner for remove the codes?
So I changed my valve and the pipe and it stays haves those problems
Could a faulty EGR set a P0137 code too ?
Okay I have a question I have a Chevy Equinox 2007 okay they're so small wire coming from underneath the fuse box ... It almost look it almost look like a ground wire anyways it's unplugged where do I plug it do I plug it on the pasta side on the negative side

Where is the transmission stick where you check the transmission fluid do you know where that stick is located on a Chevy Equinox and how can I check it
Chevy Equinox 2007
I don't understand why the EGR valve would produce those codes? Can someone explain this?
I changed mine and the line itself and everything's fine except for when I go into passing gear the throws the same code any suggestions could it be the air flow sensor which I cleaned but did not change? Becoming annoying
I change the EGR valve and those codes keep coming up to what else do you think it would be
would this be the same in a 2012 chevy equinox??
Hello, Car Doctor. “ Service stabiltrack “ comes up on the dash display on my 2014 equinox. It also starts missing and running like hell when the code comes up. Will the EGR valve also cause me to run like crap?
I have a 2007 Equinox and it making noise when I press on the gas like a motor cycle. do you know what I need to do to fix the loud noise problem. Car Doctor
What happens if you ignore it?
Please Help!! The codes that mine is throwing out is P2138, P0700, P1125 and P0120. The ABS and TC lights have been on but now my check engine light has come on. Please tell me uf this would be a fix for my suv.( 2006 equinox)
Thank you for your help I have a 206 Good battery turn 🗝️ to on or start position no dash lights not getting power to area in fuse box under hood also fuse box inside the car wire's from pcm have power where do I start checked all fuses they are good
What’s a 206?
Hi I'm not sure if this applies to my car, I have a 2017 equinox and it's doing the same thing. Any suggestions?
Can you expand on " check for glitch"
how does this do anything with the TC light and abs light?
They just say that since it effects the engine controls it also effects traction and ABS. They just want your dash to light up like a Christmas tree to get you into the dealership for repairs.
That goofy
Hi! I have a problem with my 2012 chevy traverse. everytime my car slips in snow the traction control turns off and the stability track service / check engine light flashes. I usually just turns off the engine and when i turn it back on the vehicle goes back to normal. Can you please give me an advice as to what i need to do? Thank you very much!
I have a 2013 chevy captiva I have that message on my dash would it be the same problem
I have a 2011 equinox that needs a yaw rate sensor, is this basically the same thing?
the car doctor, Did the EGR valve come with the new gasket?
Do you have a similar fix for a 2013 equinox with service stabilitrak message?
Traction control and ABS lights on at the same time. No CEL. Ideas?
I have a question I’ve had several guys look at my 2010 Chevy Equinox and no one can find the problem. When driving my suv it feels like I’m smashing the brakes but I’m not after about 20 mins my suv will come to a complete stop it won’t go over 20 mph and that’s max . I disabled the abs module to see if it needed replaced and took the fusses out and that’s not the issue. So I put everything back to the way it was and it’s not getting any better. Can you please let me know what could be wrong with my car the stability light is on and the tire pressure light is on and the check engine like . The stability track light comes on right before it locks up and it’s all four tires .
do you have any video for equinox 2015 sometimes started good sometimes I don't but the battery is good?
What if you have the c0561 without an engine code?
My torrant stabiltrack lights been on for two years 🤪
How did you pass inspection
Do you need to reuse the gasket if its direct fit EGR
Would this fix a stiff steering wheel?
Have a 09 Pontiac torrent that the rear brake light and turn signal stopped working after the abs light came on. Any ideas? Abs light is no longer on and Heard it could be the abs sensor. Thanks
Hey guys, thanks for the video, I have those two codes intermittently : C056D and C0561. Any ideas ? Stabilititrack is on as well as ABS and ESP.
P0404 is another code you can get besides P0405
Didn't help mine. Still doing the same thing. Service stabilitrack. 2007 equinox LT
Jimmy Linkous my light just turned on have you fixed yours yet?
@@pazpat12 no big I think I narrowed it down to the steering wheel position sensor. But I haven't put it on yet
Alright I still got to hook my up to the code reader
@@pazpat12 I'm getting the instrument panel rebuilt. I think it's on there. I will let you know.
Cool thanks
Code P1779 How does an EGR cause torque delivers signal code?
How to repair head gasket on the Chevy equinox
Thank you
Once I changed the EGR and reset the codes the lights disappeared.
How did you reset it?
Hello car doctor am having an issue and I would really like your help . Do u think a transmission on a Jeep liberty 2006 992 aa is same as Dodge Dakota 2006 also 992 aa??
if i replace the valve do i have to clear the codes with the cpu thing or will all the warnings just be off.. thx for the vid btw
you don't have to clear the codes but it will take a while before the light goes off on its own. It must pass several drive cycles before the PCM decides its fixed. Good luck!
+The Car Doctor thanks brother I really appreciate it helps a lot take care have a great day
Excelente consejo, la mía es una Torrent 2008 y tiene esa falla. Ahora ya se como solucionarlo. Mil gracias
service traction and TC come out on dash on HHR 2007 immediately the shift jumped . any ideas how can I fix.
que significa luz de motor con una flecha hacia abajo? significate motor with arrow dawn ligth?.
Hi and thank you for stabilitrak video. What size socket did you use for those bolts? Mine is the 07 Torrent
Hello the car doctor, do you know how hard is to replace the exhaust manifold of a 2006 equinox? I want to do it myself
l have 2006 Chevy equinox LT and the fuel gauge not working and I have engine light on when I take off get plug off the gauge work normally
What if you dont have a indicator to check for you? Then what?
I have these codes and the same problem but I don't understand what the EGR has to do with the traction control
Exactly
@@ThecardoctorTV do you agree
@@ThecardoctorTV I changed the EGR twice and the connector
My check engine light and the traction control light comes on after driving for an hour straight.. .. Then they both disappear after not driving it that far a couple of days later.. This keeps happening over and over again... If I don't drive far for 2 weeks.. Lights stay off.. Anyone have any idea what that means?
I have a question about this.. I have this grinding sound. Feels like it's right under my feet when I drive or hit the break. Now when I do my ABS comes on traction control, when this happens I don't hear anymore grinding sound it runs smoother.. My 08 Equinox was in the shop for a week & they couldn't figure it out.. So we replaced front & rear breaks, the ball joints, inner & outer tie rods, & the wheel bearing along with an linement... Any tip in what can cause this grinding..anything, anybody. The shop I had it worked at ran me 1300 for all that.. Then they tell me to pick this ABS system or something I'm unaware of & run me another 300,.So I took my keys & left.
I have a 2010 Equinox LTZ and it did it a few times last winter and was great all summer, was -2 the other night and it did it and the past 2 days did it bad again was -17 in toronto this am....you think it might be same thing
+George Craig Do you have the same codes I listed here?
Didn't know Mr. Clean had a RUclips channel or that he was a mechanic lol
Now you do!
so 120 dollars later My stability light is still on,,,, thank you you tube .. Why i took a shot and changed the egr valve is beyond me lesson learned
did you clear the codes or check them first?
yep I have been reading up on the service stablitrack and service traction control and there are videos ranging from All i did was change the EGR valve to All I did was change the ground wire to the block.. Everyone else says they have had it in time after time after time.. There isnt a specific fuse on the 2007 torrent to just say screw it and pull it If I ever find the fuse responsible you can betcha I would throw it as far as I can. Im sure the dealer will say its this and this and this and 1,900 dollars later its something else now.. This is what you get for buying a piece of crap.. No wonder pontiac went under.
I replaced the valve but I still have the warning and check engine lights..Can I clear the codes?
B. Noble yes with ODB ll scan tool or unhook the battery and reattach. Hope this helps.
It probably still has active codes, you just need to check all modules with a professional level scan tool. I'd bet serial data bus faults are stored in multiple modules related to stability control system...just a helpful hint...I realize I'm late to reply.
I have a 2007 Chevy Equinox with the same lights on but the rear wheel bearing is bad would that cause the lights to come on? Also do you have a video on how to replace the rear wheel bearing on the equinox? When we brake and the road is even a little wet or ice/ snow the car doesn't want to stop any ideas could the wheel Bearing cause that?
The ABS and traction control lights can come on because of an ABS sensor problem. Checking the ABS system codes and data can help pinpoint the issue. A bad wheel bearing can most certainly cause the issues you are having.
I have a 07 chevy equinox and I wanted to know what to do about my fuel pump leaking running down my gas. do you have a video on how to change it with out having to go to the dealership or getting over charge on fixing it
I do not have a video on that sorry. I thought it's inside the fuel tank on your car. Is it leaking externally?

Not Only The Traction Off Whatever Light Came On, But Turning The Steering wheel Was Next To IMPOSSIBLE!!!! So Does This FIX REALLY WORK IN MY SITUATION Aswell 🤔
I have replaced the EGR valve on this equinox twice and it only makes it run really bad . When I put the original valve back on the vehicle runs fine but the stability track light remains on. What am I doing wrong?
what codes are in the stabilitrac system? Only times ive seen an EGR make an engine run bad is when they are stuck open.
So this should fix the warning alarm, "engine overheating, A/C off"? It seems to overheat when I'm idling.
Your thermostat may be going bad, which is very common on those vehicles. But, it's a very easy cheap fix
kennylacombe no!!! New thermostat will fix that also look for frade wires at temp sensor pig tail!! And legume replacing thermostat replace water pump very cheap and easy!!
Good evening....Can you help me...I have a problem with my Chevrolet Equinox car..2014 model and no one could solve it...How can I contact you...Accept my regards
Can you bring the car to my shop in Alaska?
Can this also be the culprit in the case of a 2008 Chevy Silverado? I have the service stabilitrack and service traction control coming up on my truck it is running a little rough.
+Amanda Pulido If you can pull any codes and let me know what they are I might be able to help. Its likely not the same issue as discussed here. Try dropping by an auto parts store that will check your codes for you then let me know.
Okay thanks!
can you do a video on the airbag sensor
If I see that problem in the future I certainly will. Take care.
Hello Car Doctor, so i just replaced the EGR Valve on my 2007 Equinox thanks to this video you posted and need to know how to reset the codes? will disconnecting the battery reset the codes?
danny dybala yes disconnect for 5-10 minutes.. should clear all codes
Nop you need to clear the code from the ECM you need a scanner
Jose Morales And u can find cheap scanners at Harbor Freight for $15-35.
P0717 problem with a 2006 chevy equinox
How can I fix on my 2010 Chevrolet Traverse Lt
Hey Car Doctor, I need help about my chevy 2009. Changed the Heater core, had to break down the whole dashboard and since all is back together, the Traction Control goes off alone. Have to turn it off and it's better. I have touched the EGR plug while i did the job...Where can that problem would come from ? Any idea ? Had trouble to take off the AirBag on my steering wheel. Does it have a sensor or wire that i might have broken ?
If you can pull the codes we can probably point you in the right direction
I have an 08 equinox 3.4L, it has a p1779 stored and service stabiltrak light that comes on intermittently, but no p0405 code or check engine light. would an egr replacement fix this? Thanks for the video!
It's likely a faulty EGR
