Hey guys for like the last month my car has been putting up a code.The code comes up as SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING.I was wondering has any one else had this code come up?If so what is it. Should i be worried about it.

Here is the place to start reading.

First read the stored codes exactly as they show. Write them down, noting whether a code is H or C

Then clear all codes and go for a drive. When you get home. Repeat the code reading and note taking.

Then post the results to this thread.

FYI. Many codes that get set reflect transitory commo issues that don't recur.

Not necessarily the BCM. It could also be the steering position sensor which will throw a ABS AH light on also. You need the code to determine that.

Could be a few things. If it turns out to be the abs computer- absfixer.com is the way to go.

I have had that come up twice on my DIC. Both times I floored it to make sure the active handling worked (which it did) and the message went away.

When that message is visible active handling is turned off. You still have traction control and ABS but AH is off. So how did you know that AH worked? Just flooring the throttle doesn't mean AH will activate even if it is turned on. To activate AH you have to throw the car into a corner so it is under or over steering by a certain amount. When the right conditions are met it will activate the brake at one of the 4 wheels.

Ya its funny.Theirs days it will be on.Then theirs days it wont.I drove the car all around today.Did not come up with nothing. weird!

Im wondering if theirs a sensor out or lose.I wonder if changing the wheel size or tire pressure could cause this?It was throwing the code before i changed the rims.I just have no idea.

joshlyonsz06

I like your idea.Im gona for sure try it.

joshlyonsz06

Thanks for hooken me up with that site.Its weird it only comes on every once and awhile though.

81c3

Have you pulled the codes yet?

Omaha02Z06

Hmmm I don't know what was going on with my car then as the TC was on both times and each time the backend stepped out the message went away. Might be a glitch? I'm going to the road course Friday so I'll have to try a lap or two in comp mode to see if the AH works.

Dont think of this as a stupid question.But how do u pull the codes?It comes up exactly at the bottom as SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING.

In post #2 of this thread I provide a link to the procedure for pulling codes and wrote the steps you then need to follow before putting the car on a race track.

Good luck. Let us know what you find.

Thanks Ranger and 81c3.I finally got off my lazy butt and checked it out.It pulled up three codes.Two of them i guess i don't have to worry about because they end the letter H?? Here they are, 99 HVAC B0361 HC, A1 RDCM B2283 H. Then 28TCS had two codes witch is 28TCS C1281 H and C1287 H. I guess the only one i need to check out is the HVAC B0361 HC cause the rest of the codes ends with H for the history. Thanks again guys.On that web site i didnt see were to enter the codes though.I was gona look again.I really appreciate the help.

Just checked it out.99 hvac b0361 is a short to the ground.The 28tcs c1281 and c1281 are sensors on the steering column.Thanks guys!!!
