2013 PPV traction control

[TheGypsyLady]

I'm pretty new to the computer generation vehicles, I'm more of the late 60s and 70s generation until the boyfriend blew my engine in my swb C10.. And i inherited the 2013 PPV Tahoe.
Traction control, I've seen on the info screen it's off and the Stabiltrak stays on.. so my question, is ir supposed to be on or off?

when stabiltrac is turned off the light stays on in the cluster (amber color) this just indicates the feature is off, until the key is key is cycled then you have to turn it off again

Okay the Stabiltrak stays on. It has come across the info center that the traction is off. So are they both supposed to be on or off?

should be on unless the button is pressed, if it is off all the time then it might be wise to have it scanned for any body codes, these would likely not be OBD related codes, you should use a higher end scanner like a snap on, autel, bosch, etc.
a tech2 is what the dealer would use, those run about $300-400 for a clone

make sure you check the speed sensor

On a 2013 you can't turn the stabilitrak off, so if you turn off TC that is all that turns off, the only way to disable the stabilitrak is to pull the ABS fuse, which also disables the ABS

Right. My thing was that from time to time it would flash on the info center that my traction would be off and stabletrack would be on. I just didn't know what the deal was with the traction flashing that it was off.
