Hello and welcome. the engine reduce power waraning is the key to the other problems. this is normally a problem with the electronic throttle system. the engine control module disables the traction control system when it detects a engine problem, in your case a problem with the electronic throttle system. you shouldnt drive with this concern. this is normally covered under the vehicles 100,000 mile warranty. you need to conteact your nearest dealer for help

SOURCE: Key won't turn in 2008 Chevy Cobalt. Tried moving

now what it sounds like is the key has a sensor built in it the keys cost around 60.00$ but this is most likely what is wrong. the sensor is a security feature with the car if the light glows while trying to turn the car then this your problem :)

SOURCE: traction control off, service traction control,

{: ) 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.

I own a 08 chevy cobalt the traction control light is on and there is no button to turn it on or off that i can see . how can i reset the light or turn it off or on without a button that is visible

Any dash light that comes on after the motor
is running or your moving, is a vehicle fault &
you check for codes,diagnose them,find a problem
& resolve it

We have been doing that for 35 years,nothing new there

Trac Control is embedded into the ABS Braking System

It needs to be fixed, so to speak,you have a problem

How can I get key out which is stuck in ignition of 2008 cobalt. It also won't start

This can happen if the battery is low / dead. To solve, connect a set of jumper cables between the battery in the Cobalt and a running car's battery. Shut off the running car. In the Cobalt, make sure all accessories (lights, radio, fan, etc.) are off. Step on the brake, then move the gear shifter fully into the PARK position. Next, either attempt to start the engine, or turn the key to the OFF position and remove it from the ignition.

I hope this helps & good luck!

You need a code reader to start the process of fining the issue. The traction control is under the vehicle and is tied to the break system. Drivers side on the frame rail. If the vehicle wont start you may have a failing ECM

2008 impala will not start ,when trying to start service traction control light comes on

Does it crank over normal and just won't start or does it seem to turn over slowly or not at all. If it doesn't crank over like normal, test your battery. Low voltage will do strange things.
