Default Active handling does not work

i keep seeing comment that I need to replace EBCM. I talked to a Corvette mechanic who said this is rarely problem. He said it is usually one of the sensors. I can not find anything that show location of sensors so I could see if there is power to them

C1214 Solenoid Valve Relay Contact or Coil Circuit Open.. Most common cause is the EBCM need repaired also check the ground pack on the left front frame rail.

EBCM repair isn't that costly. Maybe even cheaper than replacing most sensors. But yes it's prudent to verify sensors and wiring first before going further .
