First off, welcome to the forum from Iowa.
How are you clearing them? Are you able to read any codes on a scan tool? If you have codes, what are they? Autozone will read your codes for free if you don’t have a OBD2 scan tool. Just make sure they give you a print out of the codes they pull.
Under what conditions do the lights come on?
Any work done recently to your vehicle prior to this happening?
How old is your battery?
These vehicles hate low voltage and bad grounds.

Mine did this a couple of years ago. Scanned it to find out it was a faulty rear speed sensor.
The on off switch that turns the stabilitrack and traction control on and off but it doesn’t always allow me to do that. I used a code reader and nothing comes up. And I would assume the battery is around 4 years old I just got this truck 2 years ago. I haven’t had anything done to it since I got it. Just the normal oil change and brakes That’s about it. Thank you for replying

Sounds familiar... when I was freaking the hell out 2 months after getting my truck and all sorts of codes were popping up.
I’ll bet 2 shots of 15 year whiskey it’s the battery!

You may need to get a higher end scan tool that can read more codes like ABS and SRS because there most likely is a code or two associated with the messages.
As has already been mentioned, bad speed sensors can cause this, as well as a bad steering wheel position sensor, and host of other things like a bad battery like Paul just suggested. If your battery is 4 years old, take it to Autozone and have them test it and also have them scan for codes.
When I get 3 things that pop up on the scanner $07E8. $07EA. And $07EB
@swathdiver might have a better idea than I do.

Those aren't GMT-900 codes. An advanced scan tool like a Snap-On Solus or Tech-2 can read Chassis and Body module codes. If you get access to one, have the person also check the condition of the battery, it's Open Circuit Voltage and State of Charge. A four year old battery is ancient and a bad cell in a battery can cause all kinds of electrical gremlins.
Those codes look more like module addresses than trouble codes, but I could be wrong. What type of scan tool was used?
Yeah they are modular codes but when I try to research them online I can’t find anything. Thank you for responding

Hey i was getting this message alot just before the afm/dod lifter in cylinder 4 stuck open causing a loud tick and misfire. I had the afm/dod program removed through an ebay tune. That stopped the constant on/off stabilitrak message. Now i need to replace my o ring on the pick up tube to remedy the cavitation issue that caused the lifter to stick open. Dont know if that helps but i hope it does! PSA....I hope everyone here knows to check vlom or valley plate bolts (most are loose) also a huge potential cause of low oil pressure. Lots of you tube videos on it.
Or 37 other things.

I was getting Stabilitrack and Traction Control faults at random times. Hard shift, not running well (limp mode?) Had it checked out at Midas. Only codes were for air fuel something or other. (Been a while) I cleaned the air intake manifold, mass airflow sensor and problem solved! The manifold was quite dirty (oily). Now I clean it a couple of times a year and have no problems.

I had a 2007 silvy z71. Same codes. It was the brake light switch. Cruise control also didn't work till i replaced the switch.

My 2015 Tahoe experienced the same, StabiliTrak function was inoperative, flashing messages on the center screen and finally shutting down
and not able to restart the engine for at least 5 minutes. After two trips to the dealer, they said that a module in the radio had to be reset. It works fine now. GM came out with an announcement in 2014 about this problem and said this would be fixed at no charge,looks like I'll have to ask the dealer for a refund after being charged $165.00. Good Luck

What was that announcement? Do you have a reference? Just curious as I had those very same issues along with intermittent Service SB/TC. Only had a stored code related to the steering position sensor so I replaced that, cleaned the throttle body and MAF, checked the major grounds and battery connections, and also replaced the negative battery cable (battery was newish) and so far haven't seen them anymore, but it's only been a couple of months. Probably should have done one by one to try and isotate, but all that was pretty easy stuff so I just did it all at once.
