Traction active handling system problem

I have a 2005 C6. This morning as I was driving to work doing about 60 mph the car started to swerve left and right for no reason. As this happened the display said that the active handling sytem is disabled and needs maintenance. I was able to get it under control and the car seems to be steering normal but the active handling light on the istument cluster is lit and won't extinguish even if I turn the active handling systme back on. Has any one had any problems like this?

There seems to be a lot of problems posted on the Forum (myself included) with the Active Handling/ Traction Control. I wonder why this is so?? Change of seasons, temperature, rain??

You should post this in the C6 section ... the diagnostics are totally different (and you have a different system) than is on the C5.
