today i started my car and i drove out on the road (dry pavement)and my check engine light was flashing and my stability trac light came on there was not much power when i stepped on the gas then about 3 minutes later both lights went out and it was fine ?

Voltage droop from the battery can cause that issue. Did all of this happen soon after cranking the car? And was it an exceptionally cold day? I ask since I noticed in your signature you're in Canada.

Was the air very humid? Was it cold out?

My Gen7 has had that happen when it's very humid, and worse when it's cold.

Read the "fretting corrosion" thread in the Gen7 sticky section. It could give you some good guidance.

yes it was cold and it just started

My 2017 doing the same thing but it want start unless I get a jump. At first I will get the battery light, engine light and the two swirl road. Now I get the engine light and the stability light.

Your engine light is on solid or blinking/flashing?

It’s on solid. Advance auto don’t see anything wrong with battery

Just a heads up for you and future readers:

That icon that you've described as "two swirl road" is a yellow light letting you know that TC (traction control), ABS (anti-lock brakes), and/or ESC (electronic stability control) are not active. It's still safe to drive the car, but if you jam on the brakes, such as during an emergency stop, the tires will skid if ABS has been deactivated.

If you always need a jump to start the car and it doesn't die again while driving, the charging system is likely ok. It's probably just the battery in need of replacement. At 4-5 years it is due. I would get a code scan to verify codes while you have them. Depending on the outcome plan to at least change the battery. Engine light on solid is a problem that needs attention but not an emergency like the flashing light described by the initial creator of this discussion.

Ok thanks. I brought it new so I haven’t replaced the battery since I brought the car. Advance auto said my battery was reading good. But I noticed I started getting the abs light, brakes, engine light and stability tract light once I got new tires and alignment. Also got mounts and struts done too. But they will come one then when the car starts they will go off. It happen maybe ones a week.

But this past Friday it did the same thing. Got a jump then it started. But this morning I got the stability light and engine light only and wouldn’t start but got a jump started. Check my car on lunch break wouldn’t start. Got off at 5 hesitant to start but started up

my code was miss fire cylinder 3 changed the spark plugs also the air filter and cleaned the mass air flow sensor and then replaced it and no lights flashing anymore but my check engine light stayed on ; December 11 /21 check engine light went out i read it takes 200 miles for the computer to reset it self
