How do you know?
I recently reinstalled my repaired ABS/AH/TC module and all my warning lights and messages went away. I did a hard stop to test the ABS and am satisfied with that. But what is good way to be sure that Active Handling and Traction Control are working properly? I'd appreciate any help.

Drive to supermarket.
Purchase any one of the following:
A gallon of water or
A Box of rice or
A box of salt
Find a vacant parking lot with smooth pavement without any poles.
Spread whatever you bought in supermarket out on floor in a ten foot by ten foot section.
Put the box down on the near left corner of that section.
Get in the car, warmed up, seat belts on, drive towards section aiming to pass just to the right of the product box you placed on the floor.
As you pass the box make a hard left turn and press the accelerator down as far as it will go while watching the DIC.

Crazy is . . .relative
But a hard turn from a slow speed with plenty of throttle on a smooth surface with help from something to lessen the traction will surely break the rear wheels in about the least stressful manner I know of.
Even with my A4 with 2.73 rear I can get it loose like that without overstressing anything.
The AH will definitly kick in in that scenario.
