My car is an 02 coupe with MN6 and 33k on the clock. On Saturday, I performed a short burnout with the TC off (although I was on the rev limiter for a couple of seconds).

After turning the TC back on, I proceded on my merry way to the hardware store. However, immediately after turning the TC back on, the "Active Handling Warming Up" message came up. This message stayed up for several miles, and then began flashing "Service Active Handling" alternating with "Service Vehicle Soon." I pulled into the hardware store and shut the car off, went in and shopped, and came back out 15 minutes later. Started the car, and all appeared to be back to normal. No more warning message, TC turns on and off like it should, everything seemed fine again.

Is this something I should be concerned about, or did I just throw a code for a condition that did not repeat itself when I started the car back up, and the message went away? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You need to check to see what code it threw.

Thanks. I'll use the search function to figure out how to pull the codes. Any thing in particular that I should be on the lookout for?

Ones that have to do with the TCS. Here's a link:

I thought that it had something to do with the PCM seeing a certain amout of steering input before the car warmed up...Or am I thinking of something else?
