I had given someone a jump with my car and the next morning all these messages started flashing on the dash saying service Stabil track, brake, and traction control. Did I blow a relay or screw my PCM or what could have possibly happened. All things listed have recently been looked at before this happened when I purchased the vehicle last year.

It sounds like you had a voltage surge which could have popped a fuse, so we need to check those first.

This guide will help please check the fuses with the key on:

If all fuses are okay, we need to run the codes by doing a CAN scan. You can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) from Amazon.

Here is a video to show you how:

Here are the fuse locations. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
