Default Traction Control System service

Dear sirs, I was driving along when my C5 stopped running, the information display was Traction Control Service. It also indicated low power. The engine had trouble running and would stop. I tried to start it several times and it would run very rough then quit. After a few minutes It started normal power and I drove it home. What do I do to correct this problem? This is the second time this has happened but the first time I was in a heavy rainstorm and thought it was flooded. Today there was no rain. I am hesitant to drive the car until I find a solution. Thanks for your response. Alan Trueblood

Have you used the DIC to see what codes are set?

Before you clear them write them down. Clear them then drive the car for a good amount of time and pull the codes again BEFORE you shut off the car. Those will be the codes you will want to fix.
