As strange as it sounds, fully charge the battery then, remove the battery and have it load tested and checked for reserve capacity and recovery rate.

When you crank the engine "especially a cold engine" the starter draws the most current. If your battery is not up to par, the battery output can drop really low and cause module issues and lots of U series DTCs

Give that a check.

Before you fully reconnect the battery obtain a DC Amp meter and do a sleep mode current test and see what your sleep mode current is. Should be 20 milliamps or less.
If its much above 20 ma it can pull down a battery a lot faster than it should.

Ok checked batt and amp test draw and all checks out but the problem is still there. When i first start car every morning it goes through this. Then then it clears up and all the gauges go back to normal but the trackion stays on but once i clear the TCS code then that goes away as well. Any ideas is there somewhere to look first i checked doors ok now cause my pass side had a loose connection but thats been fix.

The only other thing that I can think of would be a carboned up ignition switch. Once its used first start it makes better contact on the successive ignition cycles.

Give that a look:
