Another Active Handling warm up.
I've read a few of the threads here, so just asking if my suspicion is correct.
I disconnected my steering column from the rack for installation of headers.
I don't THINK I moved the steering wheel too much during all of this, but I'm old and stupid, so I may have.
Rack wasn't moved during install, and column only pulled to side during install.
BUT since, I get "Active Handling Warming up".
Maybe I should just go outside and hit myself with a hammer.

My 2001 will get active handling warming up message if I start the car and not touch the steering wheel for several feet and then start steering.
My nephews 2004 with 14,000 miles does the same thing.
I always get a active handling warmed up message and all seems to be well then. It has been doing this ever since I had my c5.

I get that message from time to time, it's no big deal... it's ok to move the steering wheel a little just don't make complete revolutions or you risk damaging the wiring on the column... and the linkage will only go on the rack one way so there's really no need to worry about that either... the first cam I did I was over cautious and had the steering wheel strapped down
... but now I don't even bother with doing anything, as long as you are aware of it then it's no big deal
