Active Handling
About a year ago I got a "service active handling soon" message. Stopped the car and turned off ignition. Message did not reappear upon restarting.
Same scenario last week. Anyone else have this problem?
Should I spring for the $90.00 diagnostic or wait and see if message gets more frequent?
All imput appreciated.
Thanks,
Darrell '98

Welcome to the Forum, Darrell....first post! 
Regarding your question - I suggest you query the computer and see if there are any codes that related to the active handling. Here's a link to a page that tells you how to do that and deciphers the numbers that will appear. Once you have the codes (if there are any, and I think there will be some) you might be able to determine what wrong and decide your next course of action.

Welcome aboard!
I also agree that you should pull up the codes and see what the computer is saying and if there are any active codes. Once you do this once or twice, you'll find it is pretty easy. I also bought the service manual (actually a three volume set) which has each and every code in it and how to troubleshoot each (usually requires dealership equipment).
I wouldn't take the active handling fault lightly though. If it has problems, you may lose the safety net at best, or it may adversly impact handling at worst.
