Default corvette c6 problem...

I have a problem :corvette c6 2008
When these lights on. The gas does not react to the speed drops to 30 mph and then put in a difficult car into second gear . Then I have to stop the car turned off and on again . Sometimes it works out and sometimes not .I plugged my computer vehicle garage and it seems there is no connection .

some things you can do for now , until more solutions are provided..

1) disconnect positive cable on battery (loosen nut some and wiggle cable off, do NOT remove nut, just loosen it)
2) leave cable off for 5 minutes or so and while you doing that...
3) add 3 or more gallons of gas in it from gas can if you really think its as low as i am reading it. OR you better have a filling station within a few miles of you!
4) makes some phone calls to autoparts places , name brand places like O'Rilley or other, ask if they will read your check engine light codes and give you a printout of the error codes (for free)
5) reconnect battery
5.1) if you havent added gas yet, get it NOW
6) go to the autoparts place get codes read
7) report back here the codes they gave you

note.... if your having that much trouble , you might have a friend follow you to the autoparts place (and gas if you are going there) to get codes read and back home again. c6 have a "safe mode" that when computer decides it has to save the engine that is having SERIOUS problems, it puts it in "safe mode" and you will LIMP along only. After about 12 restarts (on/off/on/off repeat) and the problem isnt there, you will be taken out of safe mode and it will run fine. mine did that once and scared me! anyway, if check engine light is on, then codes will tell us/you what the problem(s) are

These cars do strange things when the battery starts to go bad. You might consider having your battery tested at a local auto parts store.

Now that the car battery is only one month .. A month ago I changed because I was told that the vehicle malfunctions beams because the battery is weak

More than that I substituted a new alternator that we thought battery charging problem

at this point , post #3 is my solution. (getting codes read is necessary).

you might even be lucky , when you refasten the positive battery cable back on , you will fasten it good and tight and POOOOOOOOOOOOF , no more problems!!!

check negative cable to ensure it's tight too!!
