Active handling warming up
Started a thread 9 months ago and bought a new to me Avalanche and put the Corvette on the back burner. After having new engine installed , After about a half mile of driving Active handling warming up comes on the DIC and icon on dash comes as if I hit the button on the console. I can stop the car and kill it and then get on it and Traction Control work perfectly. After a half mile the icon and message reappear stop repeat same thing . Not getting Service Traction Control light just the icon that’s associated with the console button..not throwing codes. I’ve driven the car very little since the new motor was installed,but once the message and icon come on it will not go back off until I kill the car….what could be happening?

I think this needs further diagnosis with a Tech 2 device. We can speculate but at this point I think performing diagnostics is the way to go. i.e. with a Tech 2 you could see what value is reported by the SWPS (steering wheel position sensor) and correlate that to the actual steering wheel rotation angle. It will help determine if the SWPS is just misaligned or if it's faulty (or otherwise). Some people might be inclined to throw a new SWPS at it but I think those aren't really available for a 2000 C5.
