I recently had my ECBM replaced. The mechanic installed it and test drove the car with no ABS or traction control lights coming on. When I started the car myself, the lights appeared, but after turning the car off and back on, they went away. I showed him, and he scanned the car but found no codes. I also reset the codes and drove for about an hour in stop-and-go traffic with no warning lights. When I got home and restarted the car, everything was still fine.
However, about a week later, the ABS and traction control lights came back on when I started the car again. When I turned it off and restarted it, the lights went away—just like before. I’m not sure what the issue could be or what to do next.
I've been getting codes like B0-RFA C2105 and C2115. Also have been getting "serv tire mon sys" which I guess is the sensor going bad or it only showed up bc the car didn't have the ECBM and needs to relearn.

I cannot find anywhere where you have disclosed what year your car is. All C5s are not the same.

The codes are for the tire pressure sensors, nothing to do with the EBCM....and the EBCM does not "learn" the tire pressure sensors.
You had a number of symptoms in your other thread:
Check engine light finally correlated to a P0171 DTC
DTCS for HVAC, BCM, ABS
The ignition key being "stuck and stiff in the lock cylinder preventing/limiting rotation + a B2723 DTC
We could have pursued the ignition switch further for the electrical implications, but you indicated you did not have the necessary expertise or tools to troubleshoot.
On the surface, it sounds like you replaced an EBCM for an ignition switch issue.
When you have ABS/TC lights, you need to check fault codes while the lights are on and BEFORE turning the car off. The codes are clearing once the unit is powered down.
I had this behavior on my 2001 (codes would disappear when car was turned off then on). It was an intermittent C1214 which required "rebuild" of resoldering several solder joints on the circuit board.

I ended up taking the car to a Corvette specialist shop near me and they ended up fixing almost everything wrong with the car. My original post on why the car was turning off was, from what was I told was a bad sparkplug wire. Had them do a tune up and they said lose sparkplugs and bad wires. Everything with the car should be good other than the ABS and traction control lights coming off and on. Car is 2004

Yeah so when I would have the light on or any lights I always check the codes. I make sure to clear codes after a job. I cleared the abs and traction one in hopes it would fix the issue thinking maybe the car thinks it still has the issue

No way a bad spark plug wire will shut down the whole engine. Even if it was grounding out, it would still run.

Pull codes from the DIC, I curious what you find.
I had the car towed to the shop since I wasn't able to drive it. But I drove it home after which is an hour away from the shop and didn't stall and had to drive it back and forth for the abs/traction repair on a different day.
It's just B0-RFA C2105 and B0-RFA C2115 in the DIC

So if the shop made a diagnosis for a bad EBCM, and that has not resolved the problem, how are they going to reconcile? Did you keep the old EBCM?

Yeah, I currently have the rebuilt EBCM installed in the car. The shop owner test-drove it and didn’t see any warning lights at the time. However, when I got the car back, the ABS and traction control lights were on. He tried scanning for codes but couldn’t retrieve anything. He also saw that the lights would come on haft of the time when I would start the car. Not all the time. He said he’ll follow up with me once he figures out what might be causing the issue.
Probably going to reach back out next week to him. I'm thinking it might be the wheel speed sensors but I wanted other people's opinions and ideas
