A new BCM module and a new ebcm module; mine went on while idling in the driveway last week, luckily it was still under warranty for 1 more month. They replaced the body control module, electronic brake control module a solenoid and a valve, warranty bill was $3200+.

ugh. This exact same thing happened to me. I did an aggressive maneuver on the highway and the instrument panel lit up like a Christmas Tree.
"Service ABS Module"
"Service traction Control System"
"Service Active Handling"
Now I have these on all the time, and am dreading taking the car to the shop to figure out how much it will cost.

pull your computer codes and post them, could just be a wheel sensor,, or could be like the other post said, ECBM or the like and that is a big$$$ ticket item.
I had the same thing, and mine was the ECBM, thank god i was still under OEM warranty
Also check your ground and connections to make sure they are not corroded.

Pulled my codes today
Under TCS (Traction Control System)
C 1223 LR Wheel speed sensor input signal is 0 (History)
C 1227 LR Excessive wheel speed variation (History)
C 1255 EBTCM internal malfunction (History)
C 1291 Open brake lamp Sw contacts during deccel (History)
C 1234 LR Wheel speed circuit open or shorted (History/Current)
So what could this mean? The LR wheel speed circuit sensor bad or ???

Could be a short. There was a excellent thread (with pics) on this a couple of weeks ago.

new battery fixed problem
My 2000 had been reporting these same errors (service Traction control, ABS) intermittently for several months. I inspected the ground connector and the terminals were very clean. The positive battery terminal was quite corroded, however. Although the battery load test was fine, I replaced this 6-year old battery with a new one and I'm no longer getting the traction control/ABS errors. Total cost for me was $90 for battery and several hours trying to separate the corroded battery terminal from the cable.
Good deal! Hope the lights stay off for you. I didn't try any repairs yet, but putting a new battery in sounds like it couldn't hurt. Thanks

Cheap Fix...
SAME situation for me. Battery was problem. Try this "$100 Fix" first. If your battery is over 4 years old it may the the culprit. Installed Optima Red Top last week...EBCM now happy (getting enough amps) NO more "Service ABS,Active Handling & Traction Control" messages in the DIC......
