Default Help with Data Information Center

I have had this problem for two days in a row now. When I start up everything is operating normally, however after 30 minutes or so of driving my DIC comes on with the following messages: Check Active Handling System; Check Tire Mont. System; Check Tire Pressure; and also two warning lights come on: Active Handling and the Security Light.
Automatic door locks stop working and the windows stop operating.
I pull over, shut the motor off, take out the keys and wait about 15 minutes. Start the car up and all of the above goes off and the windows and locks start working.
Can anyone tell me what is happening and how to fix it.
I forgot to say also that the bell goes off that reminds you that the lights are on.
The car runs fine. The battery is only a year old and it is not leaking.
I am stumped on this one.
Any help will be appreciated.

Most all of your symptoms point to the BCM as the common point of your problems. Wet BCM's exibit this sort of problem. Check your passengers foot well carpets and BCM for water or moisture.

Please let me know if you find any. Feel under your carpets and the insulation under the carpet.

No, I did not find any moisture. Yesterday is the first day that I've had the car out of the garage in a week and it has never been driven in the rain or snow.

Check your DIC codes for more details. It does sound like a BCM problem. Since you're in Texas, I assume your AC is on and the moisture could be coming from the condensation drain being blocked and leaking into the passenger footwell.
