undefinedi have a 98 corvette and seem to be having a traction control problem.the service traction control comes across the message board in the dash and reduce engine power.i have checked for codes with an otc scanner and a snap on modius but both scanners give me nothing.it has gotten so bad that i cant even go anywhere with out the damn thing shutting off.if anyone can help me or point me in the right direction i would really appreciate it very much.the dealer cant seem to figure it out either.

This is a fairly common proble, I had the same thing on my 98. Just clean the two ground plugs behind the headlights that are bolted to the chassis. Easy fix -
