Active Handling
Ok now I have one I can't figure out. NO CODES for this problem. Driving along at steady highway speed, DRY ROAD, and all of a sudden, (Frequently) I get this "Active Handling" on the DIC. I have no idea why this is happening. I am pretty darn confident the answer lies on this forum. You folks have never let me down before. Thanks in Advance.

I think I need to be more explicit. No messages about Servicing Active Handling. Just "Active Handling" as if it was being activated. I even felt light breaking.
I'm starting to become concerned.

Keep searching...I remember reading about something similar to this in the past. The AH kicked in at freeway speeds because it thought the car was out of control when the guy was going straight down the road and it forced him into a guard rail I believe.
Don't know why, but I'm thinking something in the steering column (different from the column lock).
Check this thread out...gets interesting around post #6. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...rol-issue.html Steering position sensor could be your issue.

You have wheel sensors at all 4 corners and the AH monitors those and your steering wheel position sensor. If one of those malfuntions or loses contact (bad ground) with the EBCM, your car thinks your sliding out of control and will apply whatever brake it thinks it needs to in order to correct the car's handling.

I had the sensor replaced, but I don't trust it anymore. Now when I start the car, I turn off AH/TC
