Default Need help with c6

yesterday i was on dyno.. after a pull I went to slow down and downshifted with the paddle shifter. Well when I did that the 'service traction control' I believe came on.

When it did that, I can't downshift using the paddle shifters, cruise control don't work and when in D and you give it full throttle, it don't downshift.

I checked some fuses, took battery cable off fr 30 min and nothing.

anybody got any ideas?

By "and nothing" do you mean the problems went away or "and nothing" they didn't?

The dyno will confuse the traction control, especially if the front wheels are stationary.

traction control should be turned off while on dyno

Have you checked for and OBD II codes? Also you might want to do a voltage test on your battery, these cars eat batteries and bad batteries cause issues in these cars

no codes, I think it's the bcm causing all of this.

Battery is 13.6-14 according to the car while running

What code reader are you using? Many generic readers won't even show the chassis codes that typically accompany the Service Traction Control message.

If traction light is on, there should be codes set.

used a tech 2 scanner.. it showed lost comms with sensor but I can't remember off the top of my head which sensor and there's no lights on at all.

something new I learned, the car sometimes takes off in 3rd gear(auto) then shifts fine after that. Just stil don't downshift under acceleration and cruise don't work
