Service Traction Control

C5 Tech Gurus,

After a long day and night of drag racing my 1998 C5 shows "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" on the DIC and the TC stays on constantly and will not turn off. From the owners manual it seems the only effect will be the inability to have TC on. Since this car is almost 100% drag race I don't want TC anyway! Are there any other effects?

When the plug was connected at the factory, the female sleeve has two tabs that lock it into the plug, the female pin wasn't locked in place and when the two plugs were pushed together that male pin pushed the female pin out and had only slight contact, which I lost and hence the light. This was almost twenty years ago so hope my memory hasn't failed me also no problems since 70,000 miles later.
