HOW DO I FIND THE SPECIFIC CODE DESCRIPTION in a DITC READOUT?
Thanks to the Forum I learned that I should press and hold OPTIONS while pressing FUEL 4 times. I also learned from a Forum member what URL has a downloadable list of what the abbreviations mean--e.g., SDM means Sensing and Diagnostic Module.
However, I don't know how to find the codes, their definitions and what the number preceding them means: i.e., in my readout "58-SDM 2 codes", what does "58" refer to, what does it mean and what do I press on the dash to locate the 2 codes in order to find out what troubles they refer to?
The rest of my readout is as follows:
60-IPC 1 code
28-TCS 1 code
AO-LDCM 3 codes
A1-RDCM 3 codes
Thank you very much in advance!

Ignore the '58' it has no meaning for you.
To retrieve the codes you need to go to manual diagnostic mode. To do this you first press and hold the 'Options' button and press the 'Fuel' button four times as you did before to go into diagnostics. Next press any button and you should go to manual diagnostic.
Next, to scroll thru the different modules press the 'Options' button.
If you want to see the codes for the module that is displayed, press the 'Gauges' button. Scroll thru the codes by pressing the 'Gauges' button.
Press the 'Options' button to go to the next module.

Thank you, C5Diag, but in this video Froggy (what a cute name!) only posted what I'd already done. He said to find out what the codes mean--which is what I need--look around on the internet. However Froggy never gave a URL--I wonder why not--he merely said to find it somewhere on a Corvette forum. .

6SpeedSteve, I have only one more question. On the Stengel DIC list there are the following 45 possibilities for the 28-TCS (for which my readout states there is 1 problem code):
C1214 Sol Valve Relay Contact or Coil CKT Open
C1217 BPMV Pump Motor Relay Contact CKT Open
C1221 LF Wheel Speed Sensor Input Signal is 0
C1222 RF Wheel Speed Sensor Input Signal is 0
C1223 LR Wheel Speed Sensor Input Signal is 0
C1224 RR Wheel Speed Sensor Input Signal is 0
C1225 RF Excessive Wheel Speed Variation
C1226 LF Excessive Wheel Speed Variation
C1227 LR Excessive Wheel Speed Variation
C1228 RR Excessive Wheel Speed Variation
C1232 LF Wheel Speed Circuit Open or Shorted
C1233 RF Wheel Speed Circuit Open or Shorted
C1234 LR Wheel Speed Circuit Open or Shorted
C1235 RR Wheel Speed Circuit Open or Shorted
C1236 Low System Supply Voltage
C1237 High System Supply Voltage
C1241 Magna Steer Circuit Malfunction
C1242 BPMV Pump Motor Ground Circuit Open
C1243 BPMV Pump Motor Stalled
C1255 EBTCM Internal Malfunction
CEBCM Internal Malfunction
C1261 LF Inlet Valve Solenoid Malfunction
C1262 LF Outlet Valve Solenoid Malfunction
C1263 RF Inlet Valve Solenoid Malfunction
C1264 RF Outlet Valve Solenoid Malfunction
C1265 LR Inlet Valve Solenoid Malfunction
C1266 LR Outlet Valve Solenoid Malfunction
C1267 RR Inlet Valve Solenoid Malfunction
C1268 RR Outlet Valve Solenoid Malfunction
C1273 RF TCS Master Cyl Isolation Valve Malfunction
C1274 RF TCS Prime Valve Malfunction
C1276 Delivered Torque Signal CKT Malfunction
C1277 Requested Torque Signal CKT Malfunction
C1278 TCS Temporarily Inhibited By PCM
C1281 Steering Sensor Uncorrelated Malfunction
C1286 Steering Sensor Bias Malfunction
C1287 Steering Sensor Rate Malfunction
C1291 Open Brake Lamp Sw Contacts During Deccel
C1293 DTC C1291/C1292 Set Curnt/Prev Ign Cylce
C1294 Brake Lamp Switch Circuit Always Active
C1295 Brake Lamp Switch Circuit Open
U1016 Loss of Communications with PCM
U1255 Generic Loss Communications
U1300 Class 2 Circuit Shorted to Ground
U1301 Class 2 Circuit Shorted to Battery
Is there any readout which will display which one out of the 45 codes is the culprit or must all 45 be checked?

It will only display the codes which are at fault.
You need to go into manual diagnostic to display which fault(s) have been set. Look at my previous post again or view the youtube vid again to see how it's done.

Thank you, Old School. I printed out your previous post and will always keep it in my car along with the Stengel DIC list.
