Default Service Active Handling DIC Message

Had a few Service Active Handling DIC Messages show up while at Summit Point this weekend. Seemed to come on when I would have expected a ABS Active message. Came on when in Comp Mode.

Seemed like the brakes where only working at about 80% after the message came on but that could be psychological.

Message goes away after the car ignition is cycled.

When I pulled the DTCs with my HPTuners Scanner to see more details there was nothing in the records.

Any ideas on what this might mean?

Probably need to retrieve the codes using a Tech2 at the dealer. HPTuners only pulls powertrain and engine codes -- you need to pull the Body and Chassis codes to diagnose this.

I assume you have the telescoping steering column - most people that have the problem do.

There's a TSB on the problem - you can do search to find it, and you could take it to the dealer to get it done.

Butt....here's a link to the DIY fix:

So....hopefully that's your problem, and if so its an easy fix.

I agree, pull the drivetrain codes. Could be the recall, could be a wheel-speed-sensor (in the bearing), could be something in the EBTCM. Hopefully it will occur in street driving as well, so the dealer will take you seriously.
