My service stabilitrak light came on on way to work this morning. I did not lose traction or anything. Just came on out of the blue. Wondering if it's because I need to replace my brakes? Why would it come on?

The computer detected a problem, set a diagnostic fault code, turned the system off, and turned the light on to tell you. Your mechanic will connect a scanner to read the code(s). That will indicate the circuit or system that needs further diagnosis. The more common causes of problems include wheel speed sensors but there are many other potential causes.
