Check gages warnings - HELP

Just picked up our 02 and the display keeps telling me to check gages, then chimes and says all four tires over pressure, then temp is hot, then oil pressure. All analog gauges are indicating all is normal, tire presssure is good. What the heck is going on. It was stored with the battery disconnected. Is there a master reset other than the one on the dash. I have hit the reset button on the dash to no avail.....

Thx,

Dana

Hard to believe that no one has a answer for you. Did you own the car before it was stored, if so was everything normal then? There are some very knowledgeable people here maybe one will reply soon.

I know from my 2002 Z06 that a weak battery causes some strange codes- keep her on a trickle charger once you sort it out

We owned the car for some time now, it was in storage from 10/10 thru 06-11. Battery indicates good, was on a trickle charger. I have seen some posts dealing with dead batteries in the TPMS units, possibility? I will make sure the battery has a full charge and post any codes if still having trouble. We normally put about 1K miles on this annually so the battery might be going south. Thx to all,

My 01 was doing this too as well as telling me, just a couple of times that the abs, traction control and active handling needed service, I checked all of the grounds and made sure they was clean. the dealer that i got it from put a small Delco battery in it and was not strong enough to keep up witht all the computers. i changed it out to a yellow top battery and all my problems have almost gone away.
