It is a ground issue. I have a 2010 CamaroSS that I frequently get that problem. I can disconnect the battery plug it back up and everything is fine. That works every time. Which points to a ground issue. Inspect you ground cables. The battery ground, the ground to the frame, the grounds to the block and so on. Make sure there are no nicks in it shorting it out, the end are clean and making good contact. Also many of the grounds use small gauge wire from the factory, you make try using a heavier gauge and look into gold contact as that do not corrode and excellent conductors.
Worn tie rods ie track rod ends worn or tracking sensor

I would advise to take it to a shop you trust and let them scan your vehicle for trouble codes. From there they can give you an idea as to why these messages appeared. : )

This light is usually caused by a problem in the ABS system. A problem in the ABS system will dissable the traction control system. you will need to have the computers scanned for trouble codes.

Sounds like you may have disconnected or damaged one or both of the rear wheel speed sensors. Inspect the wiring going to the rear hub assembly, just a two wire harness.

{: ) Your stabilitrak system may not work properly. The vehicle need to be scanned for trouble codes. In case you get a C0196 code, the recommendation is to reprogram the electronic brake control module. I hope that's the only cause.

There are no safety recalls listed for your 2008 Chevrolet Equinox.
The Traction Control/Stabiltrak systems may have a problem of their own. However it is also common for these systems to be disabled and the warning lamps turned on due to malfunctions in the antilock brake system, the engine control system, the transmission control system, or certain body control malfunctions.
Due to the fact that some of these possible causes of these WARNING lamps being illuminated, may present safety issues, or possibly cause severe damage to vehicle components, I would say that assessing the CAUSE and the NATURE of the failure is VERY urgent. Only after the cause has been determined by proper diagnosis, can anyone tell you the urgency of actually REPAIRING the problem.
With that said, I would like to add that it is NEVER a good thing to ignore warning lamps even if the initial cause of them being illuminated has been determined to be a non-safety or a non-vehicle-damaging failure. The main reason for this is because if you are ignoring the warning lamps, you will now have NO WARNING when someting does fail that could cause property damage, serious injury, or death.
It is always best to keep your vehicle in top operating conditions at all times for reasons of SAFETY of yourself as well as others, FUEL ECONOMY, and longevity of the HUGE investment you have made in purchasing your vehicle.
If the system fails to turn on or activate, the StabiliTrak®
light along with one of the following messages will be
displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC):
TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE TRACTION
CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK. If you see these
conditions, turn the vehicle off, wait 15 seconds, and then
turn it back on again to reset the system. If any of these
messages still appear on the Driver Information Center
(DIC), your vehicle should be taken in for service.
