Got the dreaded Service Active Handling System message again for the umteenth time. What a POS system. Has anybody figured out how to disable remove the system completely and permanently?

I hate it and I don't need it to spin me out again, with the one wheel lock up BS it likes to pull.

There has to be a way to disable the system in the CPU or something..anyone know how?

I thought if you held the button down for 6 sec. it turned off TC and AH ?

Did you check the steering wheel position sensor in the column?

Has it been in to the dealership to have the TSB for this done?

If you installed a very aggressive (race) pad , that indication will come on. Ounce you turn the engine off, it resets but never goes away. It does not cause any harm.
I had my car scanned by GM , it had a DTC C0137 code , which means ABS is above maximum THRESHOLD. According to my tuner, C codes cant be dissabled.

Bring car in asap,Local gm service manager(good friend) told me about TSB 060235002 which is a steering position malfunction that throws code service active handling system.
This could be very serious and lead to terrible things!

Just curious if your car is out of warenty, Will it cost to perform the TSB work.

Please don't take offense but a couple a hundred bucks spent is well worth the investment considering what could happen otherwise.

I'm not taking any offense. I just didn't know if that was a known broblem that they just took care of , or if you had to pay for it. I don't have the issue yet. I was just curious.

It does work that way, but you have to turn it off every time you start the car. I would rather have it turned off permanently if possible.

Maxx Schlick

It has been to dealer several times. Once did the repair of steering colum connections as per the TSB, once replaced the steering position sensor, once said no codes found. IMO the system can't be trusted, hence my preference would be to permanently disable it, and not have to hold down the button for 5 seconds every time I start the car.

Have you tried simply disconnecting the SWPS? It is sort of a pain to remove the shroud around the column to access it, but once you do the sensor is easy to find and just has a simple coupling to the wiring harness. I have not tried this but might in the future when I get my car back on the road. I'm not taking any chances in the future, either, so I am going to figure out some way to disable it as well. Let us know what you decide and what works. Thanks

please forgive my ignorance....
but is this happening on all year z's or is it only on newer models?

I've considered this since way back when I bought my first Z06. You'd end up removing the EBCM and changing the brake lines to get the pedal feel you'd need to brake at impending lockup - the stock rubber lines aren't going to cut the mustard once the ABS system is gone. I'm not sure what computer edits would need to be done, but certainly someone has that information. It sure would be nice to be able to order this car without that crap to start with, but they have to protect themselves since they let anyone who can buy the car have one and a lot of people seem to sue someone when they get in over their head rather than accepting the consequences of their own stupidity.

I'm getting this and I did the tsb myself with the connector and zip tie.It has gotten so wierd in my car that if I do a holeshot it powers the car down and bogs. this is with traction control off. It fells like trying to do a burnout with TC on.

Do a search in this forum (the Z06 forum) for "service active handling" you'll get a truckload of eye-opening threads. I recommend you read them all.
