You need to service the Active Handling. My dealer would help you. Where are you location?

It could be a simple fix or the abs module has gone bad. Mine did after a person backed into my vette...(parked) and the module was 1,200 US. You may not need to replace it, could be a bad sensor, etc...just follow what the bro above said and see what codes are being thrown.

there should be a letter in front of the number, like p1283 or c1283....
http://www.c5forum.com/ayc/2000dtc.php

I am guessing it is a c, which means:

DTC C1283 Excessive Time to Center Steering

Your steering wheel position sensor could have a bad connection, or could be going bad would be my guess...

I'd reset the codes and watch for it to happen again...
