Default Service Active Handling

I have a 2004 Z06. Service Active Handling comes on my information center. It comes and go on it's own. If I reset it, either by the reset button or by flashing it goes away for a short period time, but the illustrated car picture for the active handling in the speedometer in the dash remains on. It seems that when I replaced my left rear axel short shaft (trans to wheel cracked booth grease all over the place) is when this started happening. I would appreciate any information in what it could be. Is there a service to be performed, a replacement or repair, and where is this located?


Thank you,
Bill

Check the wiring to that left rear wheel speed sensor. Un plug the plug, re plug it after you are sure it is clean.

I recommend doing that to all four wheel speed sensor plugs as well as thoroughly greasing both male and female ends after cleaning and before plugging them back together.

I dielectric grease every connection and ground that I take apart on the car. First started this practice about 20 years ago-

You need to pull your codes, until you do it is all just a big guess.
