Default Quick 3 Week Review on the Z06, also a quick question

Well the car has been phenomenal. I love this thing. I just got my windows back from being tined (limo) and it looks amazing. The place did a spectacular job on them. Ill be SURE to post up some pics in the next few days.

and my question is, twice, when i started the car up, the service ABS light and the Service Traction/ or something light popped on. both of them at the same time. After the car was shut down it went away. Im not too worried about it but when it poped up i was kinda like, wtf
any input would be great!

im having a blast with this car and ill have pics and vids up soon!

When does this light come on? ON start up?(I know you said it happend twice on start-up) If so, every single time? Or does it happen after driving? If it happend while driving, where you driving the car hard?...if you where driving the car hard, did you have traction control on?

Soo many different variables man....give us as much info as you can....

If you grab the code from your D.I.C...post it,..and i'll research it for you.

It could be anywhere from a speed sensor, to brakes...to etc etc etc

Do a search for "EBCM" of on corvetteforums. Mine started doing the same thing, hopefully the extended warranty on mine will take care of it because if is it the EBCM that is causing the problem you can look forward to a pretty fat bill from GM.

Very common issue. You may have a bad ground, you may have bad rotational sensors or some other sensor.
