Default Active Handling Problems

A buddy of mine recently had his active handling system display an error via the DIC on his '99 coupe. Has anyone experienced this error? Does anyone know of typical problems in this area?

Thanks!

I had mine in three times right after I bought it for "service active handling" error msgs. First time they couldn't find anything. Second time they replaced a sensor module or something like that. Third time the connector to the module was bad. PIA but once it was fixed I haven't had a problem in over a year (knock on wood). Unless he's very mechanically inclined and has the repair manuals I would suggest a visit to "a good" dealer. Also, ain't gonna be cheap!
