question on active handling alert
yesterday my dic started warning me to, ( service active handling ), ( service abs ) ( service traction control )
anyone think this could be a wheel sensor that needs replacing?
pushing the ''button'' doesn't do anything. i just keep getting the warning. may have to visit the local dealer which brings me to my next question. anyone here in the naples, fla. area have any experience with the local chevy dealer? bob taylor chevrolet. may have to take it there.
02 z with about 34000 miles on it. thanks for any info ya'll can give me.

The fresh codes, if any, will tell a story.

trouble codes
My buddy and I both had the same problem and we took our cars to the dealer. Low or bad battery sent these codes. I know it sounds strange but they said the batteries were on their last leg. The batterries were at 3 and 4 years old...haven't had any problems since.. Hope this helps.....

It's probably your battery.
Here's what happened to me(posted on another board):
I had the same problem on my 02 Z about a week ago. Came back to my car after shopping, and the car was dead as a doornail, absolutely nothing worked. Triple A came and gave me a jump start. On my way home, the ABS light, then active handling service lights came on. I was like WTF? Then a few minutes later the car starting acting weird and the service engine light came on. I made it home, turned the car off, then back on, but it was dead as a doornail again. I disconnected the battery and took it to sears. They checked it out and told me the battery was no good, it was very weak and there was a bunch of dead cells. Picked up a new battery from Chevy and everything has been just fine.

thanks guys; hadn't thought about the battery. i haven't had a chance to do anything to it yet. i hope its as simple as the battery. it may be the original battery as its a gm battery so thats probably a very good possibility. will look into it later though and let ya'll know what i find out.

evry once in a while (3 times a year about) out of the blue I'll get the standard warnings. Every time if I shut it down and quickly restart everything is cool for a while. Next time I'd like to test the ABS when it says it needs service.

Same warnings for me for the past week ( service active handling ), ( service abs ) ( service traction control).
Tried all the let it rest, reset and drive for a 15 minutes, disconnect battery...etc. I'll replace the battery tomorrow and see what I get then, since it is 3 years old. If no go then I'll start checking grounds and wires. Not looking forward to that.
