Default DIC Service info

I have a 2002 C-5 convertible. It has ~70K mi.
Lately, the DIC has been reading out three messages:
1. Service Traction System
2. Service ABS
3. Service active Handling
For a while these would go off,then return.
The TCS button doesn't register either on the dash or the DIC when I press it.
Now the three warnings come on every time I start and every time I turn off the ignition. The manual says not to depend on these systems, but, it also says I don't have ABS, just standard braking. Is there a way to see if these are real warnings or an instrument glitch?

Welcome to the Forum.

You accidentally posted in the wrong Forum, this is C6 and you have a C5. I'm going to ask the Moderator to move this to C5. Stand by and good luck.

open the driver's side door the next time that happens. Then follow up
