Default reduced power message

I have this on the message center of my 2000 vert
It also shows check gages, antilock brakes lite, traction control, and a check engine lites. none of the other gages work if I turn the key on

With the car off, the temp gage reads 260* and the car was only started and idled in the garage. not overheated at all

whats my solution to fix this

Many thanks in advanced

Mike

Sounds like you got the problem fixed. Interesting that it happened while installing the tune.
