Default Service Active Handling/Engine

Ok so, it seems every time I take the car out when it's cold I receive something new on the DIC.
The Service Active Handling System (SAHS) indicator came on along with Service Engine Soon. My SAHS button works but the little car indicator on the DIC stays lit. Hmmm. I unhooked the battery hoping it might clear, Nope.... I've heard this is common but any ideas other than taking it to my Corvette shop? Thanks

The first thing a shop that knows Corvettes will do is pull the dic codes. You can do that yourself for free. Post the codes and people can advise you what type of problem you may be facing. This link describes how to pull the codes using the dic in the car. http://www.stengel.net/diccodes.htm

Does the service active handling clear on the next ignition cycle?
My 2004 has done that even when it was new. If the car sat overnight, especially when cold, I would get the error, but it has never done it two ignition cycles in a row...

As noted, you can check and clear codes from the dash display;
