Default Got wierd problem... Need help

Ok, here is the deal. I got a 03 Z. The other day I left a friends house and punched the gas hard when I left. So my check engine light went on and on the DIC, it said Active Handleing Warming up. It cleared up a few seconds later but the check engine light was still on. I came home and cleared the code(it was a history code) and the check engine light went off.

Today I pulled the car out of my garage and again the DIC said Active Handleing Warming up. It drove for over 20 minutes and finally it turned off. Later, I started it up and it happend again. This time it turned off in about 15 minutes.

What the heck is going on??? THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Its normal for that message to come up every once in a while but not that often. I suspect EBCM is going hay wire.

The "active handeling warming up" message is pretty normal. Post the code you pulled from the DIC for the check engine light.

I get the active handling warming up during auto-x events as well.
As i understand it , the car needs to move forward in a straight line a defined number of feet for the system to warm up. During that time if you get into a condition where the system thinks it should apply itself, it does, but gives the warming up message.

Normally it takes just as long to warm up, put everyday driving usually does not put you into a loss of traction at one of the four corners that initiates the Active handling system intervention.
