As a general note - when your getting error codes and 'out of the blue' warning indicators - check your battery.

My 06 used to tell me the tires were flat (not) and then after driving in 'crippled' mode for 10 minutes - everything was a-ok. I'm guessing you still have/had the OEM battery. Mine went south at 18K miles and 5 years (I'm a second owner - original owner put less than 8K mikes on it in 4 years).

Time and duty cycles are your batteries enemy - Vettes drain power continuously and the OEM battery was what they got from the lowest bidder.

Might save you or someone elase some unnecessary pain.
