Default Service Traction Control/Active Handling

Some quick little background:

Installed a set of Stainless Work's headers on a 2010 LS3.. Forgot to disconnect the battery. Instantly had a TC(Can't remember # code) and warning messages on dash.

Had Cam, Underdrive Pulley + Supporting mods.. All engine codes were cleared when they tuned it and removed rear 02 sensors.

Now I still have the warnings but the CEL comes and goes.. Sometimes it will stay on for days.. Other times it will stay off and the Service messages will go away and I can operate the Traction Mode's.

Trying to figure out what is causing the "Service Traction Control/Active Handling" messages.

If you have certain engine codes related to the throttle control system they can cause the Traction Control function to be shut off which then sets a TC code and displays the message. Get your engine problem fixed so you don't have any more CELs and the rest should be fine.

When I first installed the Vette-Air scoop and the Attack Blue filter element in my 09 Z06, I got the same messages plus the CEL. It was turbulence accross the MAF that was causing my problem.

How were you able to solve it? I have a Vara-ram and it didn't start until I added the headers but I never thought to check the intake since it's been on/off.
