Default ABS Service

I have been this ongoing problems for months. I will start the car and get Service ABS Or Active Handling on the DIC. I took the vehicle to dealer and they could not find the problem . I disconnected the battery and waiting for over 24 hours to reconnect the battery. I have reset the fault codes. The problem does not happen all the time when I start the car. Example: I started the vehicle this morning to take it out of the garage to wash it and the fault came on the DIC. After washing the vehicle I then started the vehicle to put back into the garage and no fault on the DIC. I check all grounds connections last year.

Thanks In Advance
Gary

Have you tried pulling any codes? It could be your EBCM is starting to go south on you - initially just intermittently.

I did clear all the default codes on the DIC.

When it does it again, search here on the forum for how to pull the codes and see what you have. Mine sets a C1243 quite often on startup - which is a dragging ABS motor. If yours is a 2000 or older that might be the most likely suspect. Of course the bad news for the '97-2000 is no known fix except to buy a $1000 used unit from a wrecking yard, with probably the same problem.
