I would advise to take it to a shop you trust and let them scan your vehicle for trouble codes. From there they can give you an idea as to why these messages appeared. : )

SOURCE: I replaced the rear breaks

Sounds like you may have disconnected or damaged one or both of the rear wheel speed sensors. Inspect the wiring going to the rear hub assembly, just a two wire harness.

SOURCE: Service Traction Control

There are no safety recalls listed for your 2008 Chevrolet Equinox.

The Traction Control/Stabiltrak systems may have a problem of their own. However it is also common for these systems to be disabled and the warning lamps turned on due to malfunctions in the antilock brake system, the engine control system, the transmission control system, or certain body control malfunctions.

Due to the fact that some of these possible causes of these WARNING lamps being illuminated, may present safety issues, or possibly cause severe damage to vehicle components, I would say that assessing the CAUSE and the NATURE of the failure is VERY urgent. Only after the cause has been determined by proper diagnosis, can anyone tell you the urgency of actually REPAIRING the problem.

With that said, I would like to add that it is NEVER a good thing to ignore warning lamps even if the initial cause of them being illuminated has been determined to be a non-safety or a non-vehicle-damaging failure. The main reason for this is because if you are ignoring the warning lamps, you will now have NO WARNING when someting does fail that could cause property damage, serious injury, or death.

It is always best to keep your vehicle in top operating conditions at all times for reasons of SAFETY of yourself as well as others, FUEL ECONOMY, and longevity of the HUGE investment you have made in purchasing your vehicle.
