Default Active Handling Fixed by dealer
I have a 1999 Corvette with the steering sensor out, or should I say had. I always got the Active Handling Warming Up warning followed by Service Active Handling and then Service Vehicle Soon warning. I dropped car off at dealer where I bought it and they replaced the steering sensor. Now no warnings of any kind, I can turn Active Handling on and off with the button. It is like having a new car. I cannot believe they were able to find the sensor and it worked.

Pretty sure its a readily available $70 part. Its not rare or hard to find. Glad you got it fixed.

I was under the impression that 1999 and 2000 were the ones with steering sensors that were hard to find. I know they had a heck of a time.

I sent an e-mail to the dealer asking where he got the SWPS sensor. I was told it was new. I will post here any info they give me about where it came from.

I'm sure there are lots of early C5 owners looking forward to hearing where the sensor came from.

If this dealer is able to source the part, you have no idea how much heart ache this could save me.

Does this problem effect the 99 coupe without active handling?
