Default 2009 Z06 Dead Battery and "PMH" DIC Message

So I went to start my Z06 this morning and it turned over a couple times, then nothing. Next turn of the key produces a "PMH" code in the DIC and then the gauges all reset.

Now it won't turn at all and displays all the warning codes "Service Active Handling", "Service Traction Control", "Ice Possible" "Service Vehicle Soon", etc.

I'm thinking the battery is toast, so have it on a charger. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Well, the battery was obviously dead. Charged it up and the Vette fired up and ran fine. I will probably get a new battery soon as I don't know the status of this one (just bought the car in November).

All the codes are gone except "PMH" in the DIC before it goes to the normal odometer.

Any ideas? I posted this in C6 General, but figured my C6Z brethren would be able to diagnose.

Did the previous owner program in their initials for welcome message? You can program in anything that fits on one line at startup.

Not sure. Never saw the PMH before today. Thanks!

What comes up on the DIC with initial start is synched with the key fob you are using. Key Fob 1 and Key Fob 2 can provide two different messages if previous owners decide to program them in.
