ABS and Traction Control are the same system; the lights usually come on together when a code is set. The most common repair on your Corvette is the ABS computer replacement, but there are many potential causes; the only way to know for sure is to have the computer scanned for codes. I recommend having a certified technician, such as one from YourMechanic, come out to your home or office to run a diagnostic inspection on your ABS Light issue, and suggest the best path to repair.
