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.

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.

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.
