I need help with this Reduced Engine Power
I just replaced my battery in my 2008 Z06 4000 miles original car. - The car sat for 1 year in storage and now the reduced engine power light is on along with traction (which I understand go hand in hand) There was never a problem until the battery was disconnected. The car will start and after 30 seconds shuts itself off. I can get a scanner and clear all the codes, but will this help? Thanks all.

Where was the 'Z stored? It sounds like maybe a mouse or something could have chewed on a wire/wiring harness.
I had that happen to me when I had stored my Camaro for several months back when I was in the service. There was a harness above the steering column on the fire wall and had been chewed by a mouse or rat or something. The dealer fixed the harness and I never had any problem after that. Kept that car nearly 10 years...
