Default wierd issue with my z06

ok guys ive never had a vette before and i bought an 01 z06 the other day, i love the car but heres my problem. i went to chicago to get it and little did i know the guy lived down a little street that hadnt been plowed yet and i spun alot there and i got stuck at a gas station on the way back and spun there too. all the way home it done great. when i came out the next morning to leave i started the car and the abs light, active handling light and both service messages for abs and active handling came on. now heres the kicker the dual climate control center also quit working when they did. now every time i let the car set for a while the lights will come on and hvac will quit till i drive prolly 15 mins and then everything will go off an be fine. ive got a matco scanner but it wont read the abs system..... grrrrrr.... any ideas ever heard of this? i would love to have some input. thanks guys!

I got stuck in the snow with my 05 GTO one time and after that i got a service light with all those abs/traction control codes. I cleared them with my diablosport handheld and they never came back after that. Maybe take a spin to autozone and have them cleared and they may go away for good....worked for me at least.
