Had the battery disconnected while the car was in the paint shop. Battery disconnected, back and forth, 4-5 times. The radio pre-sets all came back to the right stations.
BUT, I'm getting the " service vehicle soon" and " service handling system", active handling light is on.
The tire pressure monitors were all showing "low pressure" too, but were overridden by the above 2 messages.

Is ther a reset procedure to go through after the battery has been disconnected?
Never had this problem before?

TIA

Go through the DIC like your were reading codes and clear them.

Did you hit the reset button on the dash to the right of the steering wheel?

LT1vette

Yes, I tried that several times. Had to drive the car to storage today, about 40 miles, and tried all the buttons to get the messages to dissapear

Hi...This is a 99. I'm pretty familiar with going through the DIC. Clearing codes for the key fobs, TPM etc. But I don't think this is accessable threough the DIC, or is it?

Can you give me more info to clear this up?

TIA

I'm guessing you don't know how to check the codes themselves? Push and hold the Options button and then push the Fuel button 4 or 5 times within like 5 seconds. You will get the auto sequence of the code display. You can use the other keys to manually go through it, selecting a particular code and "reset" it with the reset button.

Hi... dgrant3830.....Thank you for the help. This info should get me back up and running with nocodes.

Thank You

I had a service vehicle soon light right after I replaced my balancer.
I saw a members post of the same problem and he said he lowered the steering wheel to its lowest position, and turned the steering lock to lock.
I tried it and it worked.......

Hi Topcthr...i just had my "service vehicle soon light" come on and I also had my harmonic balancer changed by a friend who is a mechanic...i have a 2000 Corvette. I'm not quite understanding the lowering the streering wheel part?...so just move the steering wheel down as low as i can and lock it?...where is the lock located?...and do i go back to to the steering position im comfortable steering with after that?...Could you please explain a little better...Thank You Rick. (PS) im also hearing to disconnect the battery for a minute or so, and it will also go off)
