just so I understand what happened here... you were driving hard and the ABS/AH Icons lit up in the gauge cluster? Or did the lights come on and stay on and throw codes?

They lit up right after the turn Dic message (service active handling l) and icons for abs & traction control. I cleared them as I continued to drive so I didn't retrieve code #'s (my mistake) after a few minutes the active handling warming up message came across and all seemed well?

Your car threw a code and you cleared it while driving. If all is well and it doesnt come back then you have no problems. Next time if it happens, dont clear the code and retrieve it. Then post it here and we can figure out what is happening.

Default Active handling Light.

Several years ago, in the middle of a tight 180 curve, the active handling light came on and wouldn't reset. I found a female socket in a cannon plug under the car that wasn't locked in place. I put the car up on four jack stands and had all the plugs for the active handling system unplugged and used a ohm meter to find the open. You could also find a socket or pin that has been pushed out of the plug visually. My fault was in the wire bundle that started at the left front of the engine at the hydraulic module and continued under the car to a cannon plug. Lots of wires in them thar bundles.
Good Luck, Curt

THAT is serious trouble analysis. Too bad more folks (and even the GM techs) won't go to that effort. Well done Captain.
