Default New corvette owner, need help

I’m new to the car scene, I just picked up this 2005 c6 ls2 corvette about 3 weeks ago and it started throwing these codes recently and i’m curious what I can do to fix it or what to do about it.


Any tips or advice are greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the Forum and congratulations on your C6!
I would suggest asking this in the C6 Tech section https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-2005-2013-14/.
This is more of a hello section so you may or may not have a C6 owner see your question here.
First guess would be a grounding or connection issue in the EBCM, but the folks in the C6 section will be much better equipped to help you.
Best wishes with an easy and inexpensive fix.

Edit: Just noticed Jack beat me to the punch and already got you transferred to the right plact section.

Tip #1 You should have not bought a 2005 C6, you now have an Enigma, I had a 1981 HD sportster it was also an Enigma.

Not so.... I own an '05 since new with now 60K miles on the clock & it's been totally reliable. Nine times out of ten, the problems posted about '05's...or any year for that matter...are due to lack of proper maintenance & care or careless/overly aggressive driving style.

Many of these codes can be caused by a weak or defective battery, I'd check that first.

Start with a fresh battery and clean up the ground points under the hood. The C6 isn't a car, it's a computer with wheels.

Then after re-indexing your windows, clear the codes and drive it and see if anything comes back.

New battery is a good recommendation. Stick? If so, park in reverse. Look up Ranger method. Battery tender is recommended. Check out the harmonic balancer, replace with an after market one if needed.
