Default Service ABS/Service Traction light

Every time I drive my corvette, the second I reach 83/84 miles per hour the service abs/traction light comes on immediately. When I shut the car off, it goes away and does not come back on. If I reach that speed, it comes on again every time. Wondering if anyone else has had this problem?

If this makes a difference, I have a 1999 Corvette FRC 6 speed manual.

thanks

I have a similar issue. Sometimes when I start my 2003 I get a DIC message reading Service Active Handling Soon. I've found that restarting the car makes it go away and not come back. It also seems that if I let the gauges sweep and return before starting it is much less likely to occur. This only happens once a week or so (my vette is my DD and usually gets out on the weekend too)

check your codes. I bet there is something in the history that will lead to your problem

Do you have stock size rims and tires?

I have stock c6 wheels, I don't remember the tire size off the top of my head but I believe i bought the same size as factory... ill check tonight. In addition, I installed the 01-04 tire pressure monitor system. On my way home from work ill make the light come on and read the codes.

A few were in the history. The relevant one was 28-TCS C1226 H?!

Just adding to what Smoken1 said: Mine had an issue with one of the WSS extension harnesses that go from chassis to the WSS. The extensions are same Rt & Lt so I swapped them side to side & the code followed the bad extension.
