Default Service abs, traction, active handling question involving this ground




After fixing a loose start connection. I had a few starting issues due to this ground area being dirty. When I went to clean it this ground cable broke. When I turned the car on the service abs, active handling, and traction went on along with service vehicle soon. I got a new end piece of the ground, crimped it, and cleaned off the dirty area. No more starting issues, but the last 2 times I drove it I'm getting service abs, active handling, and traction. No service vehicle soon though. Could I have blown a fuse due to turning it on with that ground broke? What fuse if anything? And any other ideas appreciated. Thanks again guys!

Ok and I just went to start it and it took about 4 times. It then started 5 times normally. What am I doing wrong? what else could this be? Its very frustrating. How hard is it to change all the cables that go down to the starter? Please help. The only code pulling up is c1214H. But that doesnt explain these starting issues!

Voltage on my batt is right on par. It's about 2 months old.

Check out the Weights, Measurements, Etc. sticky in Gen; there's a section on grounds.
