Default Another EBCM thread

Here we go again... another EBCM thread....
but it happened to me so I need all the info I can get before I have to take it in.
Yesterday when I pulled out of the garage and pulled forward my "DIC" went crazy. service active handling, service abs, service traction control displayed and the amber lights went on. I shut it down and wondered what the heck was that all about. I turned it back on and everything was normal. The next time I started it up, it happened again. Shut it down, restarted and all is fine. This morning...again after I started it and pulled out of the garage it happened again.
So, my question is, where do I start troubleshooting?? I've read some threads on this but where's a good place to start? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I hope you still have your warranty. It cost me $1300 for parts and labor to get mine fixed. Mine started out the same way by coming on every once in awhile so I just ignored it and then it came on and stayed on. I believe there are some people on here that paid more than what I did and some that paid less. Like I said, I hope you still have you warranty. Good Luck.

What year is your car and how many miles are on it? Did you buy it new? Any other problems before?

Low battery? Cold weather?

I ended up pulling the codes yesterday and there was nothing that was current. I did reset all and ever since I did this, I have not had a problem. Could I have had a little demon in there??
By the way, It is a 2000' with 50,000 miles. The day it started doing this was probably the coldest day since I bought it (3 months ago)
....50 degrees... and, no, I don't have a warranty.

Could be your EBCM, could be your battery. I had that happen to my 98 C5 when my battery cables came loose. Tightened the cables and everything was fine.
