Default Way to supress TCS/AH errors?

My AH/TCS has been out for afew months now because of a blown pump (or so they say). Anyway, I don't mind driving without it, just hate having to press reset 3 times everytime I start the car and constantly looking at the illuminated error lights.

Is there anyway to supress the error so I don't have to press reset all the time or turn the error/warning lights off?

You may want to post in Tech if you don't get a response on this side.

laptrax will not turn off error codes for Traction Control/Active Handling. It will turn on/off the functionality but not the error codes.

Pulled the code and it's a C1214 - Sol Valve Relay Contact or Coil CKT Open.

What do you guys think?

Check out this site. It gives you different things to check to try to correct the problem. Theres a lot of info there.
http://www.klh-racing.com/AH_TC_ABS_Info.htm

Here are fred beans prices(quote taken from website):

"New EBCMs. The two best prices I could find for new parts were Fichtner Chevrolet and Fred Beans. Since Fred Beans was unwilling to ship to my APO, I purchased a new one from Fichtner for $650 + shipping. Below is a list of part #s and estimated prices from Fred Beans to give you an idea of what you should pay.

Part Number: 10343433
All 2003-2004: $465.58

Part Number: 12216561
All 2002: $610.16

Part Number: 12208997
All 2001: $612.80

Part Number: 9367071
All 1999-2000 w/o Control Active Brakes: $486.40

An alternative to buying a new one is to have your original rebuilt.

A week ago I started getting the same warnings: "Service ABS/Service Trac/Service Act Hndlg". The car's at the dealership as I type this getting fixed. I bought my vette from Carmax in 2003 and luckily bought their extended warranty; this is the first repair I'm having done under the extended warranty .

I forgot to ask the service rep specifically which parts are being replaced, but he told me that the bill for the warranty is over $1k .

The extended warranty cost me around 1300 or 1400 bucks...with just one more expensive repair by 2009 the warranty will have paid itself off .
