c5 zo6 tcs
Hi hope someone can help 2002 zo6 after I've driven about 10 miles when I accelerate and get to 65mph the traction control cuts the power and a message appears on the DIC traction control/active handling it doesn't leave any codes. When this first started in was intermittent but now happens every time when in competitive mode or traction control off the car runs perfect.cleaned the ground checked wheel sensors plugs etc any ideas help would be appreciated

To elaborate on the response above this one - if you are not running the stock size tires, a shorter overall diameter tire in the rear will create implications on the traction control system. The system functions by monitoring the wheel speed of each wheel.
The system is expecting to see the front wheel turning faster than the rears - if you go with a a shorter tire in the rear, the T/C system will interpret that as wheel spin - and will invoke T/C. It is important to maintain at least an approximate 1/2" of differential of overall height front to rear - with the rear being taller and resulting in less revolutions per mile.

Pull the codes while you are in that mode when its displaying the message. Yes, you can pull them while moving down the road but obviously pay attention to the road or pull over but don't shut it down.
