Default 2003 Z06 DIC issue

My z hasn't been started for about 2 weeks. I went out to start it and plan on driving it tomorrow. The DIC is showing up really funny. Not sure how to fix it or reset it. Any help would be great. I attached a pic to give an idea.

How is your battery's condition? If it is low on charge or going bad, it can cause some very strange things to happen. If the battery is OK, perhaps that part of the gauge cluster is going bad. Not sure which computer controls the gauge cluster.

Never seen anything like this... I'd check battery first as well.

pull battery cables and let drain for an hour. while unhooked charge the battery. when charged then reattach cables and check display.

I would say you are not getting proper current.

Could be a battery, or grounding strap issue.

Last time I saw that code--it ended world war 2--sounds like a dead battery-did the car start?
