Default Need some help please

Very hot here yesterday over 90. Gas guage went to zero and DIC said low fues, then check tire pressure system followed by service engine soon. All this while siting on the driveway after a half hour drive. Started it up this morning when it was 25 degrees cooler and no problems so I can't take it to the dealer because there is nothing to show him.

Any one help?

Hmmm, that is strange, but sounds to me like you might have the infamous C5 electrical gremlins. I would start with the very basics and check your battery and battery cables/terminals and grounds...

good luck

Thanks and I will do that. I forgot to add that least year on a day that was too hot to put the top down I had the gas guage at 0 with 3/4 of a tank. I added some techron and it never returned until yesterday. More techron did not help it, but it's the additional codes that has me confused.
