Yesterday, I noticed both my ABS and TCS lights had turned on and stayed on. Shortly after that I noticed "Sevice Car Soon" then today, the "Service Ride Control " came on. My C5 and 87k miles. I bought it about 3 months ago and haven't really driven it a lot. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
DJ006

I'll just keep my humor to myself on this one.

When the engine is off it reads 11.9. How do I get to the DIC codes? I following these instruction. Hit the reset to clear all codes, press and hold the gauge button while holding it, hit the fuel button four times. This is what I did to get the code aforementioned.

Press and hold the OPTIONS button and then hit the fuel button. Not the Gages button
Once in the diagnostic mode if you don't get the codes in each module, use the manual mode as described in the link previously mentioned.
Also, what year is the car?

I've finally got the codes. The car is a '97 coupe, automatic with 87k miles. I read the instructions and cleared the codes as per the instructions using the 'reset' button when I observed several in history and not current. Once I cleared the "history" by resetting, I started the engine and then went back into the manual diagnostic mode with the engine off as before. The codes that were still showing history and current are listed below: 10 PCM - P1571, P1644 38 RTD - C1780 28 TCS - No Comm. All other codes were erased that showed history with the exception of: 40 BCM B0844 (which still has an H)
Also the battery before starting the car was at 11.5.
Thanks for everyones patience while I'm in the learning mode. I printed out the DTC listings for the '97 corvette. What should be my next step?

With a No Comm issue for the TCS (meaning the module isn't communicating with the rest of the car) and the other codes I'd start by checking the grounds, the wiring to the TCS module at the back of the car, as well as cleaning the battery terminals and having it tested (11.5V is low).
I don't have the time today to check to see what these might specifically have in common.
