HELP!!! Traction control/ Brake Question HELP!!!
A good friend of mine and a fellow member took his C5 to the shop yesterday because he was having problems with his traction control not working right, and they told him that his internal brake module was bad so they installed a new one today and now when they get the car to around 30 mph the service traction control message comes up and the dealership has no idea why, and to add to that we are taking the vettes out of town tomorrow for the weekend. At least we are going to if we can get this fixed in time 
Has Anyone had this problem, or know what might be causing this / How to fix it ?????

What kind of a shop was it taken to? You need to run the On Board Diagnostic to see what codes were showing up. By the way there is no reason why the car can't be driven on a trip since the ABS/Traction Control/Active Handling system is an add on over the base brakes. It sounds like the ABS is working anyways so just don't drive on icy pavement or the car might get stuck.
