Default Warming up?

Leaving the 4th leval of a parking ramp tonite,in the DIC, a message flashed" Active handling system warming up" or something like that. About 10 seconds later and other message saying" System ready".
Never seen that before. Any ideas?

I keep getting the message "Active Handling Warming up" - what does it mean? Is anything wrong?

Part of the program for the C5. I have seen mine flash this a few times over the years. Not an issue.

On my very high-mileage '99, I started seeing that message shortly before the high precision steering wheel position sensor went bad. Following those messages, it became worse with codes being dropped whenever I went over a bump. After having it replaced, the warming up messages and codes went away.

Makes sense. I've seen it after washing my Vette and I'm moving it out of the driveway.
