Re: 72* outside, Active Handling Warming Up!?!?!? (TooManyIDs)
I received this for the first time at the autocross last month. The theory about having let the system "calibrate (aka warm-up)" in a straight line of travel would fit the symptoms I was seeing. It would also seem to not calibrate in a stopped situation (of course) as I tried starting the motor longer before each run, but apparently as I was sitting still, it couldn't do it's trick.
At the very end of the run on 3 of my runs I got the message, and this was with the A/H system switched off, but I'm sure it still monitors, just doesn't act.
Anyway, I don't think it is a problem unless it happens all the time but I'd love to get some more details about what all is happening in cyber-land on my car . . .

Asked the same question on a different thread. The common answer I got was that if you are not driving in a straight line (which I wasn't, I was in a parking lot with lots of curves) the AH goes into a warm up mode, after I got out of the parking lot and started driving on the street, it stated that the warm-up was complete. It has not happend again since then and I have not driven through a crooked parking lot after that. Anyone have other suggestions? Would like to hear.

I think this explanation is bogus...If this is true then we'd all be able to duplicate it by starting the car with the wheels turned and immediately start driving figure 8's.
I don't buy it. I have never had The warm up meaage except when I forgot to plug my IAT sensor in.

I had the dealer look at it and they said the steering wheel was not centered. They centered it, cleared the code, I drove off the lot, got the warming up message in about two minutes again, and then went back into full code after about 5 minutes with service AH and service vehicle soon messages.
Going back into dealer tomorrow.
