I am just pulling the ABS fuse, brake bias is mechanical in the hydraulic system.

Are you saying the the active handling warming up msg (c5z) also has to do with ABS?

I don't understand. I did not think abs needs any "warming up".

Not to argue, please explain.



Thought it had to do with steering position sensor.

Froggy, it could be that they told me the self diagnostic mode was hard on the ABS module which may be different from the warm up. It has been a long time ago that I contacted them and had my module repaired. Perhaps Turn 1 may chime in and explain. In any case, something is modified to help with the survival of the module, IIRC. I have been at this stuff way too long and modified so much, changed so much, read so much and have forgotten or remember incorrectly so much that....(now what were we talking about?). Whatever it is, it certainly has been good. I have been been giving it a pretty good work out for several years.
