anyone found a final Solution for active handling problem?


Hi ! I live in northern sweden and this authum bought a c6 2005 zl465,
drove it home from where i bought it, everythings fine...
And the next day passing a truck with my new car with about 4000rpm in 3 gear ,
was fine until i really carefull was going in to the right lane again,
then the car pulls really hard right against the ditch.
ive read posts here and wanted to hear if anyone finaly come up to a fix for this...?
wich component is the problem?

got to start somewhere, this is dangerous...i feel i dont want to drive the car.
they have put in the "magical clip" for the
wires asound the steering but that didnt help much as expected....


Im really depressed...had a c4 before and thought that car was dangerous....
but nothing compared to this one..i dont even have the guts to let friends drive it,
its dangerous...i could have there lives on me.


wich components do i need to replace?

anyone replaced bcm for ex? did the problem go away?


so!? any news about the active handling problem ?

feels like its easier here getteing closer to a solution here on the forum than at my gm dealer.

my car does not throw a code for this either.

does not show SERVICE active handling,

Active handling shows up and it just pulls really hard sometimes to the right at about 4000rpm ...always on higher rpms.

 

this also happens in competition mode !

 

Could it be the tires just hit a rut in the road? These cars will have what they call a tram-lining effect. The tires are so wide that they have a tendency to follow even slight depressions in the road.

 

This may not be a cure...but it is a lead:

Look at the wheel hubs and locate the wiring coming out of the hub.
Inspect it for damage or kinks.
Inspect the connector pins where it joins the main wiring harness.
Add some di-electric grease into these connector junctions.

Again, may or may not help.

In the USA GM had a safety recall (no charge) for this; which was just a clip for the wiring inside the car on the steering column. A search of this forum might show the procedure to do this yourself. The clip is very inexpensive.

 

He already has the clip installed. I was getting the AH/TC constant lights on the panel. I took all four wiring harnesses apart at the wheel hubs, cleaned them and put waterproof grease in the connection and put all back together and so far it's been at least a couple of months since I had a light come on.

Only once did I actually have an active handling event and it just about steered me into on coming traffic.

 

The cure for mine was a new steering wheel sensor. Luckily I was going slow when it activated. I wouldn't drive it until you take it to the dealer for a fix.

 

jacke,
I'm going to document the problem you're having. Let us know what you find out.

Are you sure the AH is causing the hard pull to the right? Under hard acceleration you could be getting some rear toe changes that are causing the rear of the car to move to the left which would give you the sensation of a pull to the right. First, pull the ABS fuse. This will disable ABS, TC and AH. No power no function. Then go for a ride and see if it happens with the fuse pulled. If it does then check your rear alignment cams to see if they are loose. Also check tie rod ends.

I was getting the "Service Active Handling" warning and brought it into the dealer thinking it might be the connector under the steering column.

It wasn't a connector issue and they replaced a wheel sensor and steering wheel sensor under warranty and it's been fine now for the last couple of years.

 

could the tire-pressure-sensors cause active handling to come on...?

 

jacke,
It's not impossible. I've heard several other people actually say the issue went away when they had the TPS adjusted or replaced.

Had some time over and started reading the manual, and maybe there something to it thats usefull.

"If the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system detects a flat
tire and the Driver Information Center (DIC) displays
TIRE FLAT, or if the TPM system is malfunctioning and
the DIC displays SERVICE TIRE MONITOR, the
Active Handling System will be affected as follows:

• The Active Handling System cannot be turned off by
the driver.
• If the Active Handling System is off, it will be turned
on automatically.
• Competitive Driving Mode is unavailable.
• The Active Handling System will feel different in
aiding and maintaining directional control.

dont know..but, all mine reads 0kpa or xxx soo...worth a try to fix them when winter have left.

hey mine is a 2005 ! ive heard something to reprogram them with a strong magnet, is this for real?

really big thanx to people here, feels like im not alone in this world with problems : ) .

 

Pld thread so i'd be surprised if this gets seen. But, did you or anyone else ever find a solution to this? Having a similar problem to this and it's unsolved so far. Above 6k rpms for me the rear end will throw itself out about 15 degrees either way while flashing active handling. Traction system will catch this so the car never fully spins out but it is scary given it only happens at the top of my gears.

 

 

Connect a scan tool and log the data while this is happening.
Does it show any anomalies?

 

That's active handling saving you from your shitty driving.

 

I had a repetitive Check Active Handling (3 different times......I disconnected the battery and reset it a couple of times), however, it happened again. I disconnected the steering column sensor took the car for a ride around the block, then reconnected the plug. Then I took a log zip tie and put it around the sensor and pulled it tight. No problems since then (about 8 months ago). Just wanted to share this.

 

I had "Service Active Handling System" alarm come up on mine, then it went away. When it came back on, I hooked the GM Nano scanner, and it pointed to the SWPS as the issue.The comb, electrical tape, etc was on the connector, and zip tied. I removed that, checked and cleaned the pins, put dielectric grease on them, reconnected per the TSB info. Cleared the code, and nothing since.

In what way is it shitty driving? It only happens in a straight line, I have no issue cornering I grew up racing go karts so I know how to handle a car. I'm smart enough to know it's a computer issue and not a driver issue lol. Thanks for the input! I asked for help not your opinion

 

What did you use to scan the codes? A couple people have told me to in various threads but haven't been directed to on what to use.
