My '04 gives me a "service active handling" followed by "service soon". The message appears randomly while driving. I don't push the limits on taking curves or do any road courses. I do accelerate fast, but i can't say that i get the message after doing that. It just seems random, and sometimes it comes right back up after i clear it from the display. I assume this is the same message everyone is talking about. Someone mentioned cleaning some grounds and checking some connectors. Do you have any pictures or direction to where to check/clean? Also what effects would this have on the car?

Also there is no Current codes for anything on the car other than a seat switch.
Do you get "service ABS" as well ??

No just the service active handling and the service soon. I also get the skidding car light on the mph gauge. The only associated code is c1287. I plan on cleaning the sensor at the bottom of the steering colum soon, I just haven't gotten to it.

you can't. well you could but the labor would be so involved that you may as well replace it at that point.

you can try cycling it. turn the wheel all the way left then right 30-40 times
