Active Handling
Hopefully someone else has had this problem to, but when I'm driving my brakes will randomly jolt (probably not the right word for that), and then a service message comes up and says "Active Handling", sometimes even when I'm not even pressing on the brakes but usually when I'm braking.
Another problem I have is when I'm also driving a "Service Active Handling" message shows up and then the traction control light lights up. But, when I turn the car off and get back in its gone.
Some please help, I have no idea what to do or what the problem could be.
Thanks

Check your codes. It sounds like the classic Steering Wheel Position Sensor failure. (i.e. P1287)
this link will show you how to do it.

This is after a day of driving and sitting in the garage turned off. I erased them all and will see what new ones pop up and check the codes while the car is still running.
10-PCM ----- P1416 C ----- AIR Bank 2 (Didn't throw a check engine light)
28-TCS ----- C1287 H ----- Steering Sensor (Probably the culprit for this thread)
A0-LDCM ----- B2282/84/U1016 H ----- Battery Voltage out of range. (Changed my battery recently.)
A1-RDCM ----- B2283/85/B2265/U1016 H -----Battery
B0-RFA ----- C2110 H ----- Right Rear TPM ----- Just got 4 new tires all-round.
Like I said, I deleted these. The only ones I expect back are the P1416 and the C1287. I bet the OP has C1287 as well. Let us know OP! I'm going to price out a steering position sensor.

If you ship it to your house you get a $25 AutoZone GC right now.
Looks like a lot of work to get in there and change this out.
Here is how to check the sensor, from Bill himself!

Pin 1 is GRY and it will have a 5 VDC (4.9) reference sig from the EBCM. It also feeds the YAW rate sensor and the lateral rate sensor. i would also check for the voltage there. It is also a GRY wire.
Pin 2 is ORN/BLK and it will have a LOW REFF (sensor ground) Sig. It also goes to the YAW and lateral sensors as the same color wires.
Pin 5 is the Steering wheel position sensor signal phase A. It goes directly to the EBCM Lite green wire
Pin 6 is the Steering wheel position sensor signal phase B. It goes directly to the EBCM Lite Blue wire
If you disconnect the sensor plug, you should read (if i read the procedure correctly) .2 VDC on pin 5 & 6
Read the 5 VDC ref voltage to the Low reff pin 2, orange/blk wire should see 5 VDC. if you measure the low reff pin to ground it should not read any higher than 5 ohms.
If it were me,, I would hook up a jumper wire to pin #1 0n the sensor and when the steering wheel is straight, you should see The same output on pins 5 & 6. As you turn the wheel all the way right and left, you should see one pins voltage smoothly increase while the other one smoothly decreases.
Hope this helps.
