My 2001 will sporadically throw the “Service ABS/Active Handling/Service Traction” warning. I have just noticed that when I park my vette at work in this one parking space that is on a 15 to 18 degree incline, the warning will come on when I start the car at the end of the day. BTW, most of the time I back into the space with the front pointing down hill and it has never thrown the code(s). Coincidence? Still an EBCM issue? I have recently cleaned ALL grounding points and connectors.
Those EBCMs are finicky little bastards.
My 02 sometimes will fault sometimes, sometimes not. One of these days I'll take it out and send to ABS Fixer. It's a job I'm not looking forward to do as I'll probably have to do it from underneath.
If I park nose down, I am told I have low coolant - not true of course. GM's development for these cars was, IMO rushed - and starved of cash. Early cars feel like Beta versions.
Could be the angle your steering wheel is at and the code is for steering position sensor. When I removed my burnt out sensor there were carbon marks where the contacts touched the steering shaft, but the carbon was only a few contacts.
What are your codes??? Over a dozen relate to different parts of the system.
Simply complaining that GM was “cheap” does nothing except Falsely waste thought. The money spent (that they didn’t have to spare) on the C5 project was more than the entire GDP of some small countries.

That was my first thought. When I was still working full time, I used to be one of the first to arrive, and there was this one parking spot that I used to park in, as often as possible, because in had 4ft. steel posts on both sides of it, protecting two fire hydrants. However, driving into this spot occasionally had me leaving the steering wheel at a very slight angle. And when I'd come out to go home, I'd get one of the "steering wheel error codes"......
