99 6 speed c5. instant codes.
Just bought a 99 c5. LOVE IT!!!
Drove it about 200 miles after buying it, and instantly one morning, upon start up, both "service traction" and "service abs" came on before i even left the driveway.
Checked the codes and I have a c1255 and c2110, both current.
anyone want to help out a new c5 owner?? MUCH appreciated guys.

i understand what the codes are, I just dont understand what they mean, and where a good place to start looking into correcting this problem may be before taking it in to a mechanics shop.
Any takers?? again, MUCH APPRECIATED!

battery always reads high, good charge, so I dont believe thats the issue, although it would have been nice 
I have to get up under the car today and try jiggling some wires apparently.
Is it common for both the ABS AND traction to light up simultaneously? and before I even start driving? Im pretty sure they turned on AS I started up the car in the morning.

According to what absfixer.com told me when I called them, the repair on them involves re-soldering bad/poor connection(s) at the circuit board level and is extremely difficult to do, much less guarantee, and they have chosen to not offer their service for these.
