Surprise Surprise Surprise. Driving along at about 60 mph , cruise on, radio/usb stick on '60's pop music, the road less traveled and all of a sudden ABS/TCS lights come up on the dash and DIC reading SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE ABS SYSTEM . Wow! Last time I had that was 19K miles ago when I took the ECBM apart and resoldiered some contact points for a relay.
Next was turn in a gravel road to check ABS as locking up my Corvette tires on dry blacktop is something I've yet to do. Well, we slid to a stop with no ABS working.
So. Home and gonna check out the DIC to get a code in the morning. Morning arrives and off to the garage to get readings. Nothing on ABS, 1 code on TCS but no number. Hmmmm. Reset and figured to started the car and check voltage to the battery. Not gonna happen. Motor won't turn over fast enough to start. Wow! Shop Charger on Hi for 15 mins and get car started. VOM says 14V so charging system not the problem. Pull battery and to Auto Zone I go. They test battery as a have to on all core batts. Bad Bat.
$175.11 later , new Duralast battery for 03 Corvette Coupe and me on the way back to home front.
Battery installed and put on Battery Tender to bring up to full charge.
Next day, Tender showing green light, Me and Da Car off for a 97 mile round about and all is back to normal good.
See in files that old battery was 5 yrs 1 month old installed at Goodyear in Fort Worth, Tx for 135 bucks. 1st Owner ( I'm 3rd ). So can't complain and happy camper , again.
Next, Front Wheel Bearings.
Oh, did finally get about 220 miles on the Bandit and 15 miles on the KLR this month on a rare good riding day or two.
