Service ABS & Active Handling Issues
I recall a few threads about this and though I would share what I found on the http://service.gm.com/gmtechlink/ima.../TLJul03e.html web site.
Owners of some Corvettes have experienced Service ABS, Service Active Handling and Service Traction Control messages. Wheel speed sensor codes may be set. This condition may be caused by replacing the OEM rubber brake hoses with aftermarket stainless steel brake hoses.
It is believed that the metal in the brake lines conducts static electricity, causing confusion in the wheel speed sensors.
The brake hoses must be returned to original rubber ones before the case can be investigated. This is a customer-pay expense.

I have never changed the brake lines. The vette is at the dealer right now with these messages and "Reduced Engine Power", "Service Vehicle Soon", "Charge System Fault" and 16 codes.
