Traction control, ABS light and service vehicle soon lights are on

Asked by rustysredvette Feb 06, 2015 at 05:21 PM about the Chevrolet Corvette

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Driving down the interstate and active handling light came on and car lost power.  Shut car off and restarted it this is when the lights on the dash came on for the ABS, traction control and service vehicle soon.  After that, acceleration on the motor was fine, but the lights are still on.  I checked power steering fluid and it is low and I'm going to correct this (don't know if this would have had anything to do with this issue).  Any suggestions on how to correct the problem?

Sounds like typical 5th Gen ignition switch problem. An easy fix (time consuming) but this seems to be the root of a lot of these electrical gremlins.
