3. Press the OPTIONS button on the DIC several
times until the blank page is displayed, then
press and hold the RESET button for two seconds.

If your loosing the FOB Sync,,your 12 VDC battery is weak and the B+ line voltage that supplies all of the modules is dropping below 9 VDC when you crank your car. It only need to drop that low for a milisecond and you will loose FOB sync. Press LOCK and UN-LOCK on the FOB at the same time and hold them until the horn toots. That is the FOB resync procedure. They should work after that or until the next time that the B+ voltage drops low! If that is the case "GET A NEW BATTERY!!!"

Pull your DTC codes and see if you have a bunch of U series codes or a bunch of NO COMMS codes, that's a dead give away that the battery could be causing the issue. Also see if your average fuel mileage readings reset to also.

This is the absolute best C5 Code web site!!!

Go to “technical data base” and then to “Corvette ECM Computer Codes”. Then select your year car. Read the instructions and then scroll down to the "READ MORE" window to view the code definitions.\

Here is another very good site:
