Calibrating Active Handling
I was driving along today when the DIC suddenly read, "Calibrating Active Handling." It then advised it had been calibrated. Has anyone had this happen? If so, how often does the car do this? Kind of nice though.

Usually this is a signal that the battery is experiencing a low voltage situation. This is not normal - the BCM reflash has fixed the early C6 problems.

Its normal for the car to do this, usually shortly after you start driving and make a sharp low speed turn, but it can also do it when the wheels lose contact with the road over a corrugated surface. In both cases, the car is seeing wheel speeds that don't match either each other or the steering angle in a way that does not indicate normal driving or a skid or spin. In other words, the speed varience is backwards from what would be expected if the car were behaving normally in a turn or skid. AH remarks to itself "that's not right" and decides to do a self-check.
