I think my C5 is haunted
Codes: P1631 C1287 C1296 B2721 B2723
Where do I begin?
Issue #1: When I make a right turn over 5mph, the Service Active Handling message comes on until the next ignition cycle. This happens even when I have the active handling off. Active Handling will also activate at random when I'm on the highway (smooth road, no bumps, no puddles, no ice)
Issue #2: at least once a day, my C5 refuses to start. There is a clicking from the passenger floorboard, but the vehicle doesn't try to start. After 15-20 more tries it fires up perfectly. At first, I thought it was a bad ignition cylinder so I replaced the ignition and programmed the new key, but the issue persists. The keys are all clean and not worn down. The next logical conclusion would be the starter solenoid, but I noticed that when the car won't start, the fuel door release button also wont work. This leads me to believe the cause lies elsewhere. This also sometimes leads to a Service Vehicle Soon message, putting the car in "limp home" mode. All of this goes away on the next ignition cycle. I also tried cleaning all of the electrical grounds, but it still happens. I checked the PCM and there are no signs of water intrusion. I'm at a loss. Can someone help me?
