Default Service ABS

The service ABS, Traction Control and Active Handling lights came on today, does this mean there is something wrong or is it something that has to be serviced. 65K on my 02 Vert. A friend told me it could be a faulty speed sensor.

Yup, could be a few things. Your best bet it to pull the codes from the DIC and see what they say. Follw these instructions:

After you pull them, write them down then clear them all and use the car a bit and see which codes pop back up.

Just to let you know, this is a fairly common problem and doesnt necessarily mean something is broken or has to be changed. It often is a result of issues with the electrical system (battery) or a ground (search for threads on EBCM) and read Bill's post about ground issues
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...ould-have.html.

Could very well be a steering wheel position sensor, wheel speed sensor or the EBCM, but you wont know until you take a look at what codes are being set.

When you get them, post them here.

Good luck

I had all the ground wires on my car cleaned about a month ago... problems seems to be gone.

Yup, very often a simple ground issue causes the system to throw a "hissy fit".

Wonder how Scarinjo is making out?
