Default Service stabiltrac code

Upon starting car today after sitting for 2 months very rough idle and flashing code on display saying "service stabiltrac". I let it iwarm up to operating temperature and then slowly rode for a mile at most at low speed never going past 3rd gear. Shifted not smoothly. Got it back home into garage. It's a 2015 automatic with 15K miles. Tomorrow I'll check for loose wires from coil packs to spark plug and that's about it before getting it into dealer. Anybody out there with a similar problem or any other ideas to check please answer. Thanks

Check your battery. A weak battery causes all sorts of problems.

Stabilitrak is the GM tradename for ESC (Electronic Stability Control). Nothing to do with powertrain, it's your ABS/ESC system. Likely you have a damaged wheel speed sensor. That's the most common failure for ABS/ESC systems.

If the computer can't control the engine's power level then it throws this error. Thus as crazy as it sounds a spark problem can generate a traction control error code.
