Default Newbe needs codes read

New to forum and new owner of 2015 Z06/Z07.
I have an issue with the car.
The analog console functions, tachometer, speed, oil pressure. wouldn't read on second day of ownership.
Parked the car for 30 minutes and it was OK. Then today I started it up and the console display and heads-up display wouldn't work period. Parked the car for an hour and was fine. I Used my OBD code reader and got the following codes.
Does anyone know what these two codes mean? P26C8 and P184C ?
I also got the following sequence of messages every time I pushed the button.
MIL off,2 incomplete, IM, Monitrs, EVAP, O2 sensor, 6 ready, misfire, fuel, comp, catalyst, O2 Htr, EDR .

??????? Thanks

Not sure on the codes but sounds like a trip back to dealer.

It is a new car and new cars are not perfect.that is what warranties are for.

Talked to Service today and they said the codes are not serious and if possible hold off until the 500 mile service to change the synthetic oil before bringing I in.
Thanks

Don't know what the codes mean but here are what they are:

P26C8 - Chassis Control Module Requested MIL Illumination

P184C - Transmission Cooling Fan Control Circuit

Thanks. When I gave the codes to the dealership they said that most likely they are history codes from Bowling Green and as long as the check engine light doesn't come on then just bring it in at 500 miles.
393 to go.

That's a simple one - the fan harness was unplugged. Someone plugged it back in without running GDS2 and clearing it. A P184C will cause a P26C8 as it's a request code (logged DTC).

The HUD going off is covered under a different campaign. This can be fixed in one of two ways - the easier of the two is a simple software flash via the USB port (still requiring a service appointment). At least most dealers are aware of that issue by now, so that's a plus.

I really appreciate your response, helps to put me at ease.
I'm sorry for your loss, my sincere condolences.

Thanks, John.

If you have any other codes pop up before you take it in, let me know.

You can also ask a service advisor to print out a list of the recorded DTCs for your own record. The timestamps (in the absence of Onstar/telematics, mileage still works) are recorded, so we can see what happened when.
