If you’re near Bethel Park take your car to Danner Automotive…”Danner” who is Paul Danner’s brother owns the shop…Paul (Scanner Danner) is one of the best diagnostic techs in the country…sent a few Corvette owners his way…the 2 warnings are a result of having a P0300 misfire…when you get the misfire fixed they will go away.

Service stabilitrak and service rear axle are often due to communications issues caused by a weak battery. Have your battery checked or just replace it if 5 or more years old before looking for other problems.

Also check that your spark plug and coil wires have not come loose as this can cause a misfire.

Stabilitrak and service rear axle warnings are a result of another problem as the ECM starts to shut down modules when it detects a major fault , while a low battery will cause it, clearly in this case it is caused by the missfires ..
