Default Service traction system?

I got on it a little leaving Wynn Dixie this morning, the car bucked then the DIC read
"service traction system".
WHY?

Can't tell you why.But mine comes on and off all the time.It seams like if I hit certain bumps in the road it displays service active handling.Just remember if the active handling is off due to the message they say you have no Abs.

Others have told me it is either a sensor loose or something to do with the steering.

Are you still under warranty? If so make an appointment with your dealer. The have a faulty AH or TC or even ABS system is dangerous.

I had a similar message - "Service Active Handling." Turned out the steering wheel positioning sensor was faluty and had to be replaced.
