I have a 2009 Saturn Vue XR AWD. For the last 6 months it has been in the shop on and off trying to fix the same problem. My engine light is either on solid or flashing. Which then causes my check stabilitrak and traction control light to come on. Now the vehicle runs fine while it is doing this, but I live in Wisconsin and it is winter. My traction control is not working when this is going on. Any ideas on what is happening?

Thanks for responding to my question. Here's the update...apparently the #2 and #6 cylinders have grooves worn in them from the ring on the piston? Which was causing the sensor to trip. So yay for me, they are replacing the entire engine! Thanks again!
