Active Handling Warming Up
Is this normal to happen? I live in FL, hot weather if that matters. Says warming up and then says that it has completed warming up.
I used to have the service abs/tc system errors but now after replacing the battery that has gone away for now, but this hasnt.
Just wondering if I got lucky with those errors leaving and if this is normal or just a sign it still has the problem.
Thanks

Do some searches on the forum. This happened to me a few years ago and if I remember correctly the "fix" was a new battery. Had something to do with the computer having to reset itself. Anyway I found the answer here. Best corvette place in the world.

With the second generation Active Handling it is more prone to happening when, after first starting, you drive at a low speed with the wheels turned. This causes to the computer to attempt to "orient" the Active Handling to determine what a straight line is to allow the system to function properly.

I asked this same question a while back. It is normal. Even though cold can make it go off, it can also happen if the system is confused about the orientation of your wheels. So starting off on uneven terrain or I think even starting with a sharp turn can make it reconfigure. Something like that anyway... don't worry about it. I my case, I had the left wheels up on the sidewalk and the right wheels on the road when I took off (uneven).

They should have made it say something like Active Handling Calibrating.

Mine said that yesterday. I shut it off, because I was going to quickly pull out into traffic where there was barely room for me. It got a little sideways, and the message said "Active Handling Warming Up."
I thought it was weird...Especially since it was off.
