Thanks guys!
I will try Autozone and a battery disconnect. I was told the disconnect would not clear it though.

You have to leave it disconnected for a couple hours I think for it to work...could be wrong though.

If you already corrected the problem just go somewhere where they
have a scan tool. Clear the code and you are in business again.

after a certain amount of start and stop ignition cycles, the system should reset itself. I think it's something like 15 times..

You can get a OBDII CAN Bus enabled scanner for about 60 bucks or so. Good tool to have since you can't pull the codes in a C6 from the DIC.
Amazon.com has a bunch....
