Default HELP...Multiple DIC codes

Hello friends

So my car has intermittently had the "service active handling, and "service traction control for sometime now. Recently it has been setting other DIC errors also. The problem seems to get worse and worse, but there is never really anything wrong that I can tell. Car seems to drive and run fine. I have had it at the dealer many times here lately, but I think theyre stumped

On my last trip in tonight here are the DIC messages:

service traction control
service active handling
service column lock
service fuel system (gauge goes to 0)
check washer fluid
ABS light came on
the green circle on the start buton lit up
Water temp gauge went all the way down to 0
Shocks inoperative (but the car is a Z-51) no F55
Oil preassure went to 0

Im sure there were a couple others, but you get the drift. Turn the car off and re-start...no problems Im actually getting used to it

Body control module has been replaced. Last week I think it was the ABS control module they replaced. Codes have been cleared multiple times.

Any ideas?

P.S. most of this stuff has happened intermittently since Ive owned the car. (I dont think its due to mods, doesnt seem any worse or better since) Ive tried to see if I can pinpoint what makes this happen, but there doesnt seem to be any rhyme or reason. Doesnt matter if your burnin em, or drivin miss daisy. It could go 1000 miles before it happens or it could be every 10

Thanks for scratchin your heads on this one. Wish me luck

I'd check for a low battery or a loose ground.

I had a similar DIC message diarrhea. Try checking the alternator for an intermittant loss of ground. The mechanic who replaced mine at 800 miles said when the alternator/regulator goes south it spouts all sorts of DIC messages that are all electrical related. If your dealer is miffed and hasn't checked this yet, it can't hurt to try.

I hope you find what's causing it before you become stranded somewhere or go nuts first.

Multiple, seemingly unrelated warnings have commonly been associated with a low/bad battery.

I actually had all the problems you are having plus some more.Trunk pulldown motor would not engage,radio locked out,no gauges working,no turn signals,no horn,no brake lights, doors would not open from inside using the button,drivers door window would move up and down on its own .Took it to dealer changed the body control module,no more problems .Maybe the replaced module is bad as you said.Good luck
