Default one sick C5

I own a 98 coupe that all of a sudden has lit the check engine light, reduced engine power and service traction sys, I checked the codes and found a bunch of them, can anyone tell me what all of this means?

I would also check your battery very closely. Sometimes they can leak their acid onto the car's computer which is directly below the battery. Additionally, I've heard that weak batteries will wreak havoc on your computer and throw a lot of phantom codes until you replace it with a new battery.

It sounds to me like you are experiencing a battery that is on its way out, they will drive the computer nuts. If it is still the original battery check for leakage underneath when you remove it.
