Stabilitrak and Traction control lights issues

[YukonGold12]

Hey everyone.
I have a 2007 that is throwing the Stabilitrak and Traction control light and saying they are disabled. This has started to come up AFTER the truck was recently aligned.
I can't tell if the alignment is tripping these sensors or not, but it only seems to disable the ABS and stabilitrak when I get up to highway speeds. Driving around town for 30+ min is no problem. Moment I hit the interstate and drive for 2-3 miles at 70MPH+ the lights and messages return. They go away once the car is turned off, there is NO CEL or codes on the ECU. I've heard that a bi-directional scanner could help, but I don't have one at the moment.

you really need to get the codes, without them it's a guess and throwing parts at it.
that's the simple truth. unless you can find a VISIBLE problem, i.e pinched wire or disconnected harness etc.
AND, you will want to get those codes while the light is on, it's a self checking system so when they are out there may be no code saved..... just depends.

Does auto zone or similar have the scanner capable of grabbing those codes? Last I checked the scanners themselves can range $400-$700.

meh, probably not. not on the shelf anyway $400 is about where your going to be with a half way capable scanner be it a tech2 clone or autel, etc
you have to consider it a investment that pays you back over time, a couple saved trips to the dealer and you are then ahead of the game.
you used to be able to grab a clone tech2 for like $300 but they have went up a little

Call a few parts places and ask if the scanner they use in-store (for reading customers' codes) can read those types of codes. My local Advance Auto has one that reads SRS codes, but I had to call around to find one that does. Worth a few calls; let your fingers do the walkin'.
