Are code P0010, Service ESC and TRaction related?

Check engine light comes on for a few days then goes off, then comes back on a few day later with also Service ESC and Service Traction. Then these go off and come back on some other day. Right now all I have is the Check engine light. This has been going on for about 2 months. I changed oil the first time the light came on and that kept it of for about 3 weeks. I checked for code and it is P0010. I know what that is and how to fix it. What I need to know is why am I also getting the service ESC and Traction. Are these related to the P0010 also?

Yes. What are you going to replace? NOT the sensor.

I believe it's the solenoids. Exhaust specifically but I will get both of them. I had taken them out and cleaned them when I did the oil change so I have done that before.

So, you say the P0010 (solenoids) is also the reason I am getting the message about the ESC and Traction?

These.
I've had them in my parts bin for a month. The P0010 I've had a lot longer. Need to get off my arse and get them put in.
Mines never had the Service ESC or any other lights, just the CEL. Maybe the programming is a little different with the SS and doesn't trigger the other warnings ? Not sure.

At least you won’t get your hands dirty on your SS , maybe a little oil.
