Default Active Handling warming up, doh!

I have had the car for 2-3 months. It never gave this message in the warm months. Now I get it a lot even after arriving somewhere and starting back up. Durring the H/C job I drove it without the hood and it stayed in alert all the time. I figured it was because the IAT was cooler that the computer liked (it knew the hood was off). I think the Z06 front screens may be letting cool air to the IAT thus causing the active handling warming alert. Often it turns the dash indicator on and I have to restart or do a rolling reset to clear it. Any other info or help? Maybe I need to reprogram the tolerance on the system.. becoming a daily annoyance.. TIA :seeya

How are you driving it and when does it clear. If you drive under 12 mph for a length of time it will come on, but usually clears quickly once you speed up.

I've had the message come up before here and there, but only a few times. I don't know why it would come up all the time.

It's explained in your owner's manual.

When I had the dealer install headers, I kept getting this message (and it wouldn't go away). Turns out they screwed a sensor up and had to replace it...hope you didn't do this in your car, but you might want to check.

It's a normal message .. don't worry about it, as long as you get the 'warmup complete' msg a few seconds later.
