Service Active Handling / Vehicle
I've been reading about the Service Active Handling System issues all over the place. I think I may have a new one. The last two days I've had Service Active Handling System and then followed by Service Vehicle.
Any ideas? Car continues to run properly and message resets when car is restarted. Then reappears minutes later. I called GM and my Corvette isn't up for recall
Help?

This is from one of the other posts that Bill Dearborn posted in!!! The code readers at the auto parts stores won't read the ABS codes, you'll need the scanner that the chevrolet dealer has or stop by the dealer for the troubleshooting
.
First thing you need to do when you get the message is to take the car to an auto parts store that has a scanner that can read ABS codes. Since ABS codes are sometimes reset when the engine is turned off and restarted do not turn off the engine and have them plug the scanner in while the engine is running. When you get a Service Message of any kind it is displayed because certain diagnostic codes appeared in the ECM or the EBCM and you can't do squat diagnosing a problem on modern cars without knowing whether any codes have been set. The code will not tell you what to replace but it will tell you where to look and what kinds of measurements must be made to isolate the problem.
Get your code/codes and post them in a new thread. To do this on your own you will have to know how to read a schematic, know Ohm's Law, read a description of how something operates and be able to use that knowledge to substitute the use of a DVM in place of a GM scan tool.

I'm not a whiz when it comes to electronics.. I'll get the codes and post them. Hopefuly the repair isn't major.
Thanks again for taking the time and I'll be at Chevy this afternoon.

If you already have the "Clip" mod done from the dealer as a service recall...
It may be something else...
Mine turned out to be a fried BCM! Car drove fine with the warning lights though...
Since new BCM in, all WARNING lights are gone.
Cost $625

Haven't shown codes today, when it does it Chevy time. Did you have your work done at Chevy?
