C6 not changing between driving modes anymore
I can only turn traction control off/on, I can't go into competitive driving mode or turn traction control/active handling off anymore. 
It has always worked fine, the only thing that has been done since I noticed it not working is I had the battery changed. I had to reset my windows & all my radio presets so I'm wondering if it affected the driving mode button. I wouldn't think it would but I've been wrong before. Car is a 2005 C6 z51 m6 3lt

I have a actron OBD ll scanner but it says no codes. after researching through google I finally come across a forum that says if any of your tps sensors aren't reading or it says to service your tps system that it wont allow you to select any mode other than traction on/off due to something with the active handling system. With that being said my left front tire is reading 0psi through my DIC & it has 35psi in it. It was reading fine before I changed the battery because I have a slow leak in my back left tire (have some new tires ordered) so I constantly check it from habit. So once I get my tps sensor reading I will know if that is the problem or not. Thanks for the reply
