Need advice about dash lights
I have an 07 equinox. We just drove from SC to Illinois and in kentucky my engine light, traction control and stability control lights came on. We have been here for a week and we leave tomorrow for texas. I took it in to autozone and the code that came up was for my EGR valve. My question is,can I make it to texas with it this way until next week when I can have someone look at it without it breaking down on the highway?? Any info is appreciated.

Yes, you can make the trip and not worry about anything. Obviously, Stabilitrak will be disabled until you get it fixed, but you probably won't miss it. The EGR valve is just an emissions device. Whether or not it is working won't noticeably affect performance or fuel economy.
