Default Active Handling error question

So just recently am getting the active handling idiot light on the dash, and a message "service active handling". It's intermittent, and so far only happens when backing up. My C6 is a 6-speed manual. When I start to back up out of the driveway, I can hear a clicking sound from what I believe is coming from the rear brake caliper area after applying the brakes. That's when the light will snap on. Shutting the car off and restarting removes the light. Any idea's how to diagnose? Thought about removing the wheel/tire and inspect for any loose or damaged wires? Maybe check the brake pads? Thanks!

I would start by scanning for codes - they might point you to a defective sensor or at least a wheel to focus on (C0045 for the LR wheel speed sensor for example).

Yes, scan for codes and unfortunately a “code reader” won’t be able to do this.
