Hi there I have a 2017 Chevy equinox and the service stabilitrak Warning just came on as well as the service power steering Mechanic's Assistant: When was the fluid last checked? Have you heard any whining noises while turning the wheel? No noises and a few months ago I assume when I had my last oil change Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Equinox yourself? What have you tried so far? Absolutely not lol Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? The Steering wheel feels looser to turn

That could be a lot of issues, the light is on because its detecting a falt which you will need to have scanned by a code reader to know whats going on, I see your not working on this? Are you just looking for ideas before you take it in?

Hi thankyou , yes just seeing if it's serious or not so I know what's going on
Automotive Expert
if its still running and driving ok its not too bad more than likley a sensor issue but it still needs to be checked out as soon as possible to determine what is going on with the system, when you do take it in if you have any questions you can always come back and ask at any time

The wheel doesn't feel as stiff as it normally doesI feel like it's super easy to turn
Automotive Expert
I understand, until the codes are read we wont know much, I would assume a sensor has gone out causing this problem

Alright thankyou !

your very welcome
