I am getting P0010 engine code and at the same time it says service traction. I have order the intake and exhaust Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid / Actuators. will be changing the oil first even thought it shows 63% on oil setting. I know the actuators going bad is common but what is with the Service Traction on the dash..Do they go together? Thanks for your input. 2007 HHR with a 2.4l motor

 

When the P0010 sets the traction turns off, thus the warning.
They left a few words out of the name of the test. You need to replace the VVT valves. If you can only afford 1 get intake.
This is for the CIURCUIT so ether the coils inside the solenoid are fried or a wire is loose. No need to worry about the oil.

 

thanks for the information. I have never understood the traction control even after reading about it in the owners manual.

 

It’s to alert you something is wrong.

 

the two actuators are coming in the mail Wednesday, This car has been nearly flawless for the last 3 years can't complain about this easy job.
