Traction control warming up readinf
As post states. I picked my 99 Vette a convertible with 6 speed trans up from the shop that installed my BTR cam and new ls6 manifold. After I got it and drove a few feet the display showed traction control warming. I was told it wil go off from the shop after I drive for a bit but it never did. After driving for 15-20 minutes the light comes on the dash and it read service stability system. It has never given me these type of issues. Once I turn off the car, light is off and it’s fine. Drive a few ft and it does it all over again. Thank you in advance

Low battery is what everybody told me too. Clear the messages off your dash. Take the car out on a back road, slam on the brakes at about 60 a couple times. It frees up the IBCM piston. That worked for me. Haven't had the message since. Now I do that ocassionaly to exercise that system. Can't hurt to try it.

Wouldn’t the battery be charged enough to not cause issues if I had daily driven it for a few weeks without any low battery starting problems ? I have the battery out now for winter storage and it goes in the trickle charger in my shop every 3-4 weeks for the day.

With a voltmeter, with battery ground disconnected (or both cables disconnected) are you getting 12.7-12.9 volts?
Yes you could have enough charge to crank the engine over, but be weak enough to cause electric gremlins, even though it sounds weird.
Everytime I've had a glitch or gremlins on mine, battery is 12.4 or lower, trickle charge until normal voltage and the messages go away.
