Why not post all the codes contained in the computer as suggested in post #2? Include the H or C or HC that follow the 5 position DTC:

Then we would have something to work with rather than guessing.

And get the codes you are talking about
They claimed they put it on a Dyno the rear tires were 2 1/2 miles faster than the front... At that point I knew they had No Clue
I'm a first time corvette owner, a year in fact had mustangs before that
If u don't mind I'll get back with u tomm

first, you don't need a stealership to pull the codes. Read this:
http://www.c5help.com/c5_dtc_codes.htm
Once you've pulled the codes, POST THEM HERE. Include the H or C suffix as well.
Plenty of forum knowledge here:

Looks like you need an new steering wheel position sensor
I went through the dignosis on those codes and just waiting to fit the SWPS. It's not an easy job though.

traction control
I had problem with my traction control caused by tyre size ,but it wasn't throwing any codes. Because of the tyre size difference the traction control cut power due to the the speed difference between front and rears. This problem tended to happen every time at a specific speed which 65 Mph. While I was tearing my hair out trying to find the problem I got hooked up to a Tech II and got live readings didn't cost a lot but was able to rule out so many of the things that could be causing it that I was able to pinpoint the problem by simple elimination

Yep that is the SWPS. Call Gene at www.gmpartshouse.com and order from him. It costs about $65.00 and takes about 2.5 to 3.0 hrs to change. I had to replace mine last year. I was afraid of the airbag so I had my mechanic buddy do it for me.

As stated by the others above, those codes indicate a problem with the steering wheel position sensor (SWPS). That would in turn cause the active handling to be turned off resulting in the light for traction control coming on. You may need to replace the SWPS but this could be a steering wheel not centered issue. When you are driving down a flat and straight road, is the steering wheel centered or is it off to one side? If the wheel is not centered I would start with a 4 wheel alignment and getting the wheel centered. Then clear all the codes you have and drive the car for a while to see if the problem is gone. If it returns then the sensor is likely bad and needs to be replaced. This is NOT the same as the "brake module" you mentioned in an earlier post above.
ive taken the advice of a few other members on here if i get offended just blow it off.... lesson has been taught, although here in Texas we talk a liitle funny and that aint changing
anyway thanks for the info with my Z being down a week it gives me time to look into this
