I just took my 1999 C5 out for a drive as I was sitting a a traffic light I noticed the IPC displaying Service Traction Control System, what causes this ? Brought car straight home and conducted a code scan with cars IPC, It gave a code the first time 28 TCS 12C 1295 C checked it again it showed 28 TCS 1295 H, Car runs fine. I never had a problem till yesterday I had a Air Pressure Sensor go bad and after the guy at the local tire shop reprogrammed the sensor because it was displaying the wrong tire pressure sensor. I had disconnected the neg battery cablr about 5 mins, are this displays due to battery being diconnected yesterday ? Anybody tell me whats going on ?

Is your battery fully charged? Low voltage can cause a bunch of electrical problems.

Seems to be but I'll put on trickle charger. I was reading a Thread few mins ago about someone having LED taillights that was causing same code and I have LED's but I have had then installed for some time with no problems.

Make sure the negative cable is tight on the battery. I hope that's what it is.. An EBCM is not easy to find nor cheap.. Trust me I know..

Here is a link to the C 1295 diagnostics. Does not appear to be a significant issue to figure out and resolve. Let us know if you need more help.
