Default SYS light on...HELP!

I stopped driving my car about 4 months ago due to a new job and driving farther. I bought a small car to keep the Vette nice. Since then it is having more problems than ever before. The SYS light just came on today. It still has either an opti issue or ICM issue. New opti has about 50 miles on it. What does the SYS light mean. Also every once in a while I get the ASR light on as well. My frekin Escort has fewer problems with more miles!!!!

Could be just a low battery charge.

Have the battery load tested at your favorite auto parts store....put a charger on it if your not driving it on a daily basis. They like to be driven, daily. Garage queens get sick easily.

Battery charge, could be time for a battery. How old is the battery in your vette?
