Default How do you deal with "Service Active Handling " after FI

I guess that it is common to get "service active handling" after installing FI on the Vette. Mine is 09 with Procharger. It is fine in daily driving but under WOT shifts it gives me the Service message no matter what mode I put the car into before racing. Any recommendations on how to deal with it....

but it back to stock... even the tune. It is just what I would do although I have no first hand experience. I just would not give them any reason to deny my car service.

"Service active handling" has never reared its ugly head on my '08. It was stock for the first 6K, cam and bolt ons for the next 7K, and TVS blown for the last coulple thousand. It has spent quite a bit of time going fast in a fairly straight line. Not so much fast time going around curves. Is it common and I'm just lucky?

Jerking the 'charger off and returning to stock would be a tough pill to swallow. There has to be a better way.

I won't remove charger at any cost. I will get it fixed with or without coverage through gm. I road raced it with headers cats vararam intake and tune with no problems . Now with procharger and tune I'm getting issues only at wot shifts independent of corners.

hey i had that like a week ago on my zo6 and the dealer fixed it under warranty. They told me the sensor went bad so its probably just the sensor on yours. Mine would go off after turning hard or a bump then when i turned off my car it went away.

The supercharger isnt causing it. Its common on corvettes and just so happened to do it on your car at this time.

What code is being thrown? If it is P0068, try the following from Mr. Big (worked for me):

Go to Engine Diagnostics > General and set P0068 Enable RPM to 8192. This will disable the test for this code. If you are also getting P0101 then change the Min ECT to 250*F to disable this test.

P0068 would put you into reduced engine power/limp home mode. Not Service Active Handling.

Did for me. I got Service Active Handling on the DIC, and went into limp-mode as a result. Parameter change solved the problem.

Is it "service active handling" or "service active traction"? After I forged and SC's my engine I'm getting the latter one whenever I get on it. But it goes off after a few seconds.
