Default Need Help With DIC - Active Handling

Old guy needs help with 2001 C5 Auto Trans.!
My Active Handling button may be hung in the down position, It don't seem to do anything,.and when I check the codes I find the following;
TCS showed C1214H
LDCM showed B2282H, B2284 H, U1064H.
RDCM showed B2283H,B2285H,U1064H.
I was able to reset the LCDM and the RDCM.
When restarting the car the DIC showed, Service Traction System, Service ABS, and Service Active Handling System. Sometimes
this does not showup, I can push reset and sometimes get the DIC to clear, sometimes not.
When I go back to check the codes, the TCS still shows C1214 H, and the LDCM and RDCM are clear with, no codes,
This situation has been happening for some time and I guess it may be the result of the Active Handling button being hung.
Does this sound real or am I on the wrong track? The Owner's Manual says that a message is suppose to come up when starting
about the Active Handling, but I have never seen that. So do I start seeing if the Active handling button is hung up or what?
Has anyone else experienced a situation like this? Any advise is appreciated !

I had a similar problem with the traction control and abs lights on. Removed the center console and the button but if the EBCM needs repair the button doesn't do anything. After I fixed my EBCM the button started working. Here's a link for the ebcm:

If everything is working correctly button will give you an immediate response and a sound and the d i c will show the status traction control on / off or competitive driving mode depending on your selection. I am no expert hopefully this point you in the right direction

You're welcome
I had the exact same problem and put it off for 6 months it got to the point where the car was all over the road without active handling and traction control. Finally just decided to take it on one day and it took about an hour. Magically the button works again and now I have a problem pushing the button so often that I need to buy new rear tires :-) good luck on your project. This is what mine looked like
