Default Z06 "Service Active Handling"

Ok guys, I've read most of the threads on this topic. I have one different problem with my '07 Z06. I can start the car, and let it idle up to operating temp with no warning light or DIC message. As soon as I put the car in any gear 1st or reverse, and move the car a couple feet the warning light and DIC message appears. I get no codes, just the dash light and DIC message. Where would you start with no code to lead you in any direction. And no I haven't gone to the dealer yet.. that will be my last resort.

Thanks for any input.

Whats your tire pressure at? Low tire pressure will set it off.

all tire pressures are at 30psi.. checked all plug wires as well... all in good condition and firmly connected. I'll check the steering wheel position sensor this weekend when i have more time.

Battery is new, less than 3 months old. I also keep the car on a trickle charger when parked in garage.

I used to get that on my C5, and after I cleaned off all the grounds in the engine, It never came back.

Hmm...since the other obvious answers have been covered, perhaps a speed sensor on one of the hubs? Maybe unplug and clean up with contact cleaner...free to try minus a can of cleaner.

Does it just say Service AH, or does it also say Service TC and Service ABS as well?

The stability enhancement is failing it's self test and that turns the light on.

Unlike C5, the C6 has no way to display fault codes on the DIC.

In order to get the fault code(s) you need to find a service facility with a scan tester which supports the car's chassis computer.

With C6, in most cases, disconnecting the battery does not clear codes.

This. I had this same issue. Kept coming back even after I disconnected the wheel sensors, cleaned them, reinstalled them. However, (knocking on wood) after I swapped brake pads and cleaned everything real good, it hasn't come back.

I used my HP Tuners software to read the codes.. no codes were given.

My understanding is HP tuners does not read the body codes, Torque Pro app for your phone and an OBDll plug in will read the body codes.
