This happen to anyone?
I went through a touchless car wash which has the spray that comes up from the bottom and after that the Service Active handling System Light came on and the horn sounded like a Kia Horn. I hit the reset button and the warning light did not come on anymore. Won't do the carwash thing anymore. The past couple days it's been raining, went through a puddle and the same thing happened. Has this happened to anyone else? Anything I can do about it?

Let it dry out and don't do that drive through car wash sounds about right..

Well a carwash is high pressure and that could forced water into a connector but the puddle... I am thinking one of your active handling sensor connector seals is dry rotted or a connector is cracked. Vettes are no more sensitive to carwashes than any other vehicle despite what others on here may have you believe.

I have gone through those touchless car washes a few times with the Vette but never had any problems. The one I use from time to time does give you the option of not having the underspray. Based on what you have experienced I will skip the underspray in the future.

I agree and if I were you, I'd start looking around under the car for something cracked, exposed, loose, etc. re electrical. I don't think this car is any more unusual than any other model.

We've been using touchles car washes on our Corvettes for 12 years, we just take a look at any "tracks" they have before we drive in. Some are ok, some would be a disaster.
Any kind of washing has the potential to scratch the car, probably the worst are those monster nylon brushes. Hand washes can be even worse if the guy drops his rag and continues to use it; I've seen that happen many times and never seen the guy discard the dropped rag.

Seems to me that there was another post about the exact same issue a few weeks back. The OP ran it through the touchless wash and had the same code and also had it pop back up on a rainy day.

You have a better chance of seeing god than you do of me taking my ride through a car wash or let a valet park it.
I would gladly eat a bullet before I do either of those things.

Seems slightly over dramatic that you would rather be dead than have your corvette go through a car wash or have someone park it for you. I mean, I am pretty over protective of my corvette too but lets not go crazy.

I would rather be dead than spend the rest of my life in prison for murdering the A-hole who damaged my ride. I don't accept excuses or give second chances... Period.
