DIC has gone mad!
Alright bought my Corvette about a month ago and everything was going great. All of a sudden in the last couple of days the DIC has gone crazy 
. It started with my air pressure in my tires. Said my right rear needed air, then next day it said they all needed air so I put air in all the tires but now it won’t tell me the pressure of any of them. It’s just says RR___LR____ when you try to look at it. Then tonight I started the car and within about a minute of driving it said service abs and traction control. I hit reset and the lights still stayed on. I turned it off and had it sit for 30min then when I got back in it the abs and traction lights were off and I could turn traction control on and off again...
Soooo any idea what’s going on? Do I need to bring this to Chevy or something?
Thanks guys,
Derek

Get your battery checked. If it's ok check under it to make sure it's not leaking. Also pull your panel passenger side footwell and make sure all is dry. If all of this is good start easteregging grounding.

Vettes are really sensitive to changes in voltage, etc. Check the battery and grounds. Hopefully someone has already switched out the battery for a red top, otherwise that's a must. Do a search on batterys and you'll hear the horror stories. Good Luck!

Well volt meter is above 13...but even when hit the switch to put the windows down the lights fade and the volts go down a bit, then goes back up. So I guess I will look into a getting a red top, it makes the engine bay look a little better anyways 
.
Also my keyless entry will not unlock the doors sometimes unless you push it like 4 times. And sometime it will just unlock one door and not the other. Could this be something to do with the battery as well? Or maybe a new battery in the remote or something?
Thanks again!

Hope you get it fixed without major diagnostic work.

I was getting a group of goofy DIC messages. A dealer cleaned and reattached the ground wires to the ABS and traction controll modules and it cleared everything up. These grounds do seem sensative.
