HELP - Service Stabilitrak & Service Traction Control
I'd sure get a hold of a good scanner or someone with one and look for any misses on number 4 cylinder in it's memory. Look of my posts on this to see what I went through.
Keep in mind that if the light is flashing and it turns out to be a miss that means it could damage your catalytic converter.
Good luck and have a Merry Christmas...

Guvner can you elaborate on cylinder 4. I had the misfire on 4 twice. Replaced the spark plug which was had a lot of deposit around the tip twice. That seemed to fix it. I also got it the other day with a tps code. So I replaced the throttle position sensor. And it’s been ok. I’ve been luck every time I get the traction control/Stabilitrack issue. I’m able to resolve it myself. I too have a Solus edge. The one time it was tricky for me was when I got a torque converter clutch solenoid code. Went through the trouble of replacing the solenoid by splicing into the harness. Fixed the issue for one day. Then I thought I didn’t splice it right. Ended up replacing the entire valve body harness. Again fixed for 1 day. Ton of work, time and frustration. Well after all that it turned out to be the transmission control module. But what is going on with cylinder 4. Is my lifter going? I’m almost at 200k.
I also had the same problem as all you guys of had with all the lights coming on and miss firing, my truck never lost power and never had any transmission problems . I had it diagnosed for the misfire, replace that particular cell annoyed and all the spark plugs and wires. All of my problems were solved !!!!!!

Tried to attach the video here after I saved it to my hard drive but this forum doesn't accept MP4 from the iPhone.
In your case I'm assuming since the problem is coming back constantly I'd hook up your Solus to live data and just leave it on while you're driving making sure number 4 cylinder is the main thing to watch. Once it starts to miss and trips out the stabilitrak you will be able to see the screen showing the misses freak out. If you care to send me a text message with a phone number I will send the captured iPhone video of what tripped my mechanic friend into realizing that what I thought I had was exactly what I had. I have a GM certified rebuild in my Suburban now. No more problems.. If you tell me how to attach it here I can do that but have never done it before on this forum but will look when my typing is over here...
I was googling the same problem
just bought new Tahoe 2019 from local dealer in Saudi Arabia Jeddah
after I paid in cash the car price, and @ zero mile, at the show room when engine started it showed the same problem and they are telling me to come back in few days. they will do recheck at maintenance to fix the problem
they refuses to substitute the car, they didn't provide me a replacement car till they fix the problem , they are not willing to give me my money back I find that ironic when GM commercials speaking about warranty and road help while GM cars disabled and not functioning at the show room
I regret that I bought GM car
this just happened today 27/12/2018

I FILED A COMPLAINT VIA CHEVROLET ARABIA BUT UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T EXPECT MUCH FROM THEM

The engine scanner I used was the Snap ON Solus Edge which comes into the video showing the very recent history showing as jagged lines as you'd see on an Oscilliscope. (Press Above Link)
I have a short update on the 07 Silverado saga posted 11/14/18 and again on December 12, 2018. On New Years eve my son took the pickup to a friends - it was below zero out and windy. The engine light came on and stabilitrak popped. My wife and daughter took our suburban to him and brought the Silverado home. New Years day I put it in the garage and pulled the code - misfire. I pulled the #1 and #3 plugs - #3 first - it was fine. #1 was fouled and likely the misfire. In the previous repair I had replaced the plugs (11/14/18) so they only had 1500 or so miles on them. I decided to try a coil pak - hoping/praying the pak is weak and allowing for the fouling plug. I replaced the plug and put a MSD pak on (cheapest one I could find in town - $67). I cleared the code and ran the truck - all good. It has been that way so far - probably about 700 miles on it. I am hoping/praying the coil paks are getting weak - it does have 307,000 on it. I may pull the #1 plug and inspect this weekend. If all is OK, I plan to order coil paks for the rest of the cylinders.
I am having the same exact issue with mine. I took it to several certified mechanics and After 2000.00 worth of repairs NOBODY can tell me what is causing this. I am 100% sure Chevrolet knows what is causing this issue. I am beyond exhausted with this issue and the money it is costing me to try and locate!

Try replacing all the spark plugs at the same time and all of the miss fired call packs at the same exact time because it seems like there’s low voltage or something which is why all the lights in the stability track light continues to come on. I had that problem in my suburban I replace these things all at once and I’ve never had a problem since then .
