How to reset code
I had a (not sure what it is called) thing that looked like a spark plug wire type deal come off. Caused the engine to start ticking like a valve had failed and running really badly. I stuck it back on, but the engine icon is still on the dash. How do I get it to go away.

Not sure on the Corvette, but on my wife's BMW, if the check engine light comes on, and then the problem is fixed (such as a loose gas cap that is tightened), the light will go out after "X" number of ignition cycles. If that doesn't work on the Corvette, then you may need someone with a scan tool to reset it for you.

This is what black electrical tape is for, just cut off a 1" long piece, place it over the orange light on the dash and you will never again have a check engine problem. It also works well on electronic equipment with clocks that blink 12:00 all the time as well.....

Had that happen to me also, I drove it 3 times, have to shut down in between and let sit for 30 minutes at least and it turned off it.
So if it is now running fine and you have no messages pop up at start, ie. Traction control off or active handling off, then just drive it and it will reset itself.
