Default new vette

Hello, I just bought a 2004 CORVETTE with 14990 miles. A week later when the weather got nicer I took my car to the Chevy dealership to get a oil change, while they were changing the oil They found a leak from the oilpan and it was the gasket. The next day I told my wife to bring the back to the dealership where I bought it as she was driving there the auto traction service light came on. The car was garages kept all these years , what could be the issue why the light came on?

Sounds like your EBCM(electronic brake control module) is taking a crap on you..good thing you have an 04 as it's repairable and not a 97-00 where it isn't.

Hang in there!! As those previously had suggested, pull the codes and post them up. You will have plenty of help here to diagnose your issues.

Just DON'T take it to a dealer and have them empty your wallet!!
