Default Service Vehicle Soon

2004 Lemans Commemorative Convertible ...

I had dead battery. Put charger on. When I started got Service Vehicle Soon, Trac light and ABS light. Pulled codes -

P0856 H C - Traction Control Input Signal
TCS - No Comm
U1040 H C - Loss of Class 2 Communications with ABS

My plan:
1) Check Maxi fuse 52
2) Check Grounds at G101 and G104
3) Remove and repair EBCM

Before I dig in, any advice would be appreciated.

Any codes that have returned are the ones that need attention.........
Battery charged and checks good. Same codes ... P0856, TCS No Comm, U1040. Clear them and they come right back. Next step?

Did you check the fuses? The no COMMS needs to be addressed.

I just saw in one of the other posts. There is also a smaller connector to the EBCM. I did not notice it. Will try clean and reseat it. Thank for all help!

Nice color for your car BTW. Examine the connector closely too, make sure nothing's bent/corroded.

Ok, got the EBCM off. Next door neighbor is a nurse. She says doesn't think I need a transfusion but to drink plenty of fluids. I'm thinking Budweiser ... Anyway before I break into this gizmo, question about the connectors. Where does it get power? From the two prong connector? And what voltages should I look for?
