Does EBCM = Active Handling?
Symptom - When braking for a stop, the car jerks hard right and then will "dog track" (You can feel the car running out of line) and I have to keep the wheel turned left a bit just to go straight. It will correct itself in a few hundred feet. I thought maybe it was a brake problem. Then I found when cornering, with no brakes the same thing happens and you can hear the rear tires braking. I assumed this might be an Active Handling problem, but when I de-active it I get the same results.
Now, after several days of research here on CF and retesting I have 2 possible causes. One is a bad EBCM and the other is a possible bad Steering position sensor.
If I turn off the Active Handling, does that rule out the EBCM? I am taking it to the dealer tomorrow. It is an 03 with about 50k on it and a GMPP. Any insight would be appreciated.

An Electrical issue will throw a code and the fact that even after you turn the Active Handling off the symptoms persist keeps on pointing towards something mechanical.

[QUOTE=max'svette;1560170061] it sounds like you have a mechanical problem at hand. QUOTE]
Good point. I had a 4-wheel alignment done about 2000 miles ago after lowering on stock bolts... could that be a possible culprit????

[QUOTE=Bonsai;1560170157]Could very well be, I would give the suspension a good scrub and make sure everything is tightend to spec.
