Service active handling/traction control
Yes, before I posted this I done a search and could not find exactly what I am looking for.
I did have traction control, active handling, and abs readouts. So, I took my abs module off and sent it to absfixer. Well, he fixed it because my abs light is not flashing anymore. But, my service active, and traction control, is still on.
Is there a fuse for this maybe? Something else I should look at? I dont know what to do, and I do not and will not take it to a dealer. Any thoughts, would be great. thanks

Also, before I took the abs module off and had it fixed. The lights would not come on untill I drove it for a bit. Now the traction control and active handling is on as soon as I start it. Which I dont know if my traction control works at all or not.

The fuse would affect all of the functions. Traction Control and Active Handling are functions of the ABS system. Gotta know the codes. Check them using the DIC.

I had all three warnings flashing at me about a month ago and I took it to the dealer to discover I needed at least one and possibly two of my computers replaced. I believe the work cam out to be around 1200 for parts and labor.
Against the advice of many I had purchased the extended warranty in the car and only had to pay 200. I also got some other issues fixed so my warranty has payed for itself.
I'm not an expert but your situation sounds like mine. Good luck.

just give us the codes...
...and we'll know where to start to help you..
here's how:
with the key in the on position, but the engine not running
push and release the reset button until all messages cleared
next push and HOLD button #4
next push and release button #1 four times while holding button #4
When first engaged the on-board diagnostics go into an "automatic" mode which shows all parameters: PCM-TCS-RTD-BCM-IPC-radio-HVAC-LDCM-RDCM-SCM-RFA. If there are no problems, you will see "no more codes" on the ICP display. The computer will show two kinds of codes, "current" and "history," designated "C" or "H". A current code indicates a malfunction is present in the system whose module is displaying data. A history code indicates a past problem. When the screen displays "manual diagnostics," select the desired module by pressing the "options" button to go forward or the "trip" button to go back. Press "gages" to go forward or "fuel" to go back. To exit the diagnostic mode at any time, press "E/M".
If you want to erase or "clear" codes, press .""reset
