Default Traction Control Problem---Code C1214

I'm having this random problem with the Traction Control and ABS service lights coming on.

DIC Code is C1214, which says Sol Valve Relay Contact or Coil CKT Open. Anyone know what this means or how to fix?

If I shut the car down after the service lites appear and then re-start, the Service Traction Control and ABS lites go away. Tks

Default code C1214

CalHusker...once you get any more info from the dealer...please post a response here. My problem is still intermittant. I do know that this code is related to the EBCM (electronic brake control module) which controls brake solenoids by grounding them. Then the BPMV (brake pressure modulator valve) goes to work to acutally open/close the solenoid. based on what the EBCM tells it to do...I think???

Regards

That BPMV is expensive. Mine is shot. The squirrelly backend is fun, but traction control is a safety thing so it must be fixed.
Check it twice and good luck

Mine just started going from intermittent to every time within the past 2 weeks. Bill Curlee has this post about a possible ground corrosion issue http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...214&forum_id=1

This is going to be a real PITA for me to get to because of the supercharger, and all the hoses going to/from the intercooler.
