You posted in the C5 Tech section BUT,,, no worries.. Were all corvette brothers.

If you indeed fixed the issue that caused the DTCs to pop,, the ECU will clear the HISTORY code after a number of driving cycles.

However,, your C6 does NOT have the ability for the owner to pull up the DTCs on the DIC like the C5 does.

You should go to AutoZone and ask them to read the ECU and figure out why the ECU popped a DTCs.. They read them for you for FREE!

I purchased an ACTRON Scanner that is CAN BUS Compliant for my C6. I can read and clear my own DTCs. There are inexpensive and invaluable!
