Hi Keith and welcome to the !!

I'm concerned your post may be overlooked buried as it is on page 3 of the C5 Code thread, so I'm going to break it off into its own thread.

Hopefully that will draw more attention to it and get you some helpful responses.

Are you going to attempt repairs yourself or do you just want to diagnose and leave it for a shop to fix?

First lets pull the codes and see whats up!

We need All Systems currant and history,it helps to see whats been going on for better diagnostics!
Don't reset codes yet,just leave them there for the time being!!

Have a pencil and paper handy!

How to Pull Codes:
1. Turn your key to the "ON" position, but do not start the engine.
2. Clear any present messages by pressing the RESET button.
3. Hold the OPTIONS button down, and press the FUEL button 4 times. (This will get you into the "codes" section of the DIC.
4. The computer will automatically display all the codes your car has created. It will cycle through each code every 3 seconds. (Have a pen and paper handy to write down the codes)

Note: Any code that ends in an "H" is a history code (something that has occurred in the past, but is not reporting as an error currently.)

5. Once the computer has finished going through all of its codes, press RESET to enter Manual Configuration mode. It should start with a module and show "NO CODES" or "# Codes."
6. To optionally reset codes once in manual mode, press and hold RESET until is displays "NO CODES."
7. Press OPTIONS to go into the next module (ie, from PCM, or Powertrain Control Module, to TCS, or Traction Control System.)
8. Repeat Step 6 until you have reset all the codes in all the computer modules.

Note: Only reset the codes if you want to- it is not necessary to reset them every time you pull the codes.

9. When finished, simply take your key out of the ignition.
