Default Helpful Tip for those experiencing TCS issues

I've experienced many TCS related issues on my 98 C5 over the years. Bill Curlee is 100% correct on the female connector problems. 90% of the wss problems are these connectors.

But did you know that while driving and suddenly experiencing the Reduced Power symptom and TCS, ABS disabled, etc. Don't pull over and re-start your engine to clear these codes. If it was a spurious event, just turn you ignition key to the start position momentarily while driving. Your starter will not engage however the error condition will be cleared and diagnostic mode entered. If your condition was a one time event you will be good to go again. I've had to use this method many times on the track and it has saved my bacon most times.
