wife is stressing over codes
My wifes 01 is keeps getting service traction sys,service abs,service active handling.Could this be a wheel sensor? I recently took all tires off to clean inside of rims could that have caused the problem?Any help would be great.
thanks
thanks

Cleaning the wheels shouldn't have caused this. When is she getting the specific messages, i.e., cold weather at startup and the first slow turn?
Some of these are "normal" depending on the combination of driving conditions.
Also, what codes are being set on the DIC?

Does it do this every time you start the car? My '02 did, and when I checked for codes it had a 1214, which is a
Solenoid Valve Relay Contact or Coil Circuit Open
The dealer replaced the Active Handling Control Module under warranty (thank goodness). I don't know if it could have been fixed less expensively (around $900 I think), since I didn't ask.

You may be able to see this without jacking up the car... then again if your car is lowered you may need to jack..... Look at the wheel bearing, it has two wires coming out of it to a plug in connector that continues into the body of the car... make sure those connections are plugged in correctly.

codes
I just picked up my 01 today after leaving it overnight at the dealer for the same codes.it was the wires that needed to be cleaned and reconnected.bad contact.code for service abs/active handling came on a couple of nights ago.I don't have the work oreder in front of me,but it was nothing serious.oil change and fix's cost me 138 bucks.that would be wires connected to the computer.

I have a appointment at the dealer tomorrow.I'll have to just hope they are honest about whats wrong.I'll ask them to clean the connections first.When I had my 97 my fuel gauge went died and they wanted to drop the whole tank but a forum member said to put some valvoline fuel system cleaner in and use chevron gas .problem solved and saved hundreds.I was just hoping to fix it myself.I appreciate all the feed back .
thanks
thanks

A while back, I had "service TCS" and "service ABS" messages & asociated codes. The codes always related to the LF wheel, so I took a shot & disconnected & reconnected the harness going from the wheel sensor to a harness connector on the frame & the problem went away. I assume it was some minor corrosion on one of the connectors.
