My 2000 Gremlins
Is this an issue or expected behavior? All of my tire sensors are dead. When I get the Vette up to 50, Active handling comes on and kills the engine power. Turn off active handling and it drives fine. Is the active handling kicking on due to the tire sensors reading zero air pressure?
Any way to keep the DIC from throwing the "Pull key wait 10 seconds?" I believe the car has the column lock bypass as the wheels turns with key out of ignition.
Finally, I get low wiper fluid on the DIC. I checked and I believe the sensor is positioned correctly in the tank. Is there a fuse for the wiper fluid?
TIA!

tires are your active handling/traction control problem
245 45 17 = 25.7"
275 35 18 = 25.6"
Your back tires are shorter than the fronts. Generally the back should be taller by 1" ± 0.5" to avoid that problem.

Well I cleared the codes, drove it around town about 15 minutes with AH on...let it sit overnight and checked for codes...NO CODES!
I do get the "pull key wait 10 seconds"...will the LCM5 eliminate this message?

Stock size should be the following
Front- 245/45-17 8.5"
Rear- 275/40-18 9.5"
However you can fit with no issues on stock rims
275 40 17
295 35 18
Someone put the wrong size tire as others have mentioned on the rear.
The other cause of TC kicking on is if a speed sensor came loose off of the wheel bearing.
