ECBM - Traction Control
I searched, but I found only threads about ECBM service message...
What happened yesterday was weird. I was driving slowly, and the traction control warning light went on. I got very scared, because I have had my C5 for only 1 month, and it's too early for a big problem.
So, a message saying something close to "traction control is warming" appeared, a few seconds later, a new message close to "traction control warmed" showed up, and the warning light switched off!
Anyone can say if it is normal or if it is an announcement of something bad coming?

That message can come on if you park the car with the wheels turned and car is cold and just been started
Also check to see if you have any codes

Now, I have "only" 6 codes, but all of them marked with H, that is, History:
B2265 Vertical Position Sensor Circuit
B2285 Battery #2 Circuit
B2287 RH Mirror Supply Circuit
B2283 Battery #1 Circuit
U1064 Lost Communication with 064 - BCM
U1096 Lost Communication with 096 - IPC
They look like correlated, but are they related to the traction control message? Or with the TPMS replacement?

Clear the codes take it for a drive and then pull the codes BEFORE you turn the car off. Most codes go to H after the ignition switch is turned off and back on
Also have your battery load tested

Since owning the '04 C5 for 11 years, occasionally I get the same message. I notice no difference in the car's operation driving and in a few minutes the message reads "warm up completed." I just add this to the many electrical anomolies the car has.

I'm getting to know my first one... The only one I had before was the TPMS service, fixed when I replaced the sensors... I wouldn't treat it as an anomaly...

But, when I got mine, I checked all the maintenance made... But it's still a gamble...

No more codes, I have only the battery load test pending. But everything okay for now! Thank you!
