OR

You can pull the codes using the DIC. Once you get them write down the codes clear them out and drive the car to see if any come back. Post the codes here and you will get some feedback. Also when you pull your codes you may have alot of codes. Some will be history and others will be current. Mostly interested in the current as the ACH issue just came up.

TPMS sensors would not give you the service ACH system. By chance did you change the size of your rims/tires?

c5 z's don't come from the factory with tpms sensors anyway so no worries there

Did you keep the stager from the front to rear wheels? The way the computer is set for the Active Handling their needs the be some stager from the front to rear wheel/tire.

I agree with that but he said it came on upon just starting the car... if it were related to tire diameter I would think he would have to be moving in order for it to think there is wheel spin

Stagger comes from overall tire diameter, not wheel diameter or tire width

However, as neutron said, that would be irrelevant if you hadn't even driven the car yet

Hopefully you're dealing with a sensor and not a BCM issue, but the codes should give us more information on that

if it is the ebcm hopefully it's the simple "resolder the relay" fix... I had that happen to mine out of the blue and sure enough I had 2 bad solder joints on the relay... very easy fix and has been fine ever since

Stagger only relate to width in my mind


But 305/30/19, and 273/30/19 are def overall different sizes in width , height, circumstance etc

I can't pull up a tire size calculator but there is a difference

Soon as I pull codes I'll post them thanks guys

more than likely you're ok on the tires, I ran 275/30/19 up front and 305/30/19 in the rear at one time with no issues... obviously every tire in a given size is slightly different in overall diameter due to the manufacturer but they are usually pretty close to being the same... as long as you have at least a 1/2" more overall diameter in the rear as opposed to the front you should be good

Your tire sizes are right where they need to be; there's a lot of wiggle room there anyway
