Service ABS, Service Active Handling and Service Traction Control. Don't ask me how this happened I was not doing anything out of the ordinary and the car seemed to run just fine. Any thoughts?

Was your steering wheel turned all the way to one side when the message came up? If so then the ABS sensor connector was pulled on and it will send that message. If not then you will more than likely have to replace your ABS computer. It was about $1300 when I had to replace my ABS computer.

i had the same thing on my display about two months ago. first thing you want to do is check the two cable connections on the computer itself. also, check your codes, you will probably see an active code 1214. if so you probably have a bad ebcm. send it to Brandon at absfixer.com he can repair them in one day for about $150.00 plus shipping.

Yep. You can imagine what I was thinking when I was quoted that price. :lol:

My thoughts would have gone elsewhere and I would not have heard anything else from that person!

I had the exact issue last month. Took it to the dealership and found that it was the steering position sensor. Covered under Xtended-warranty.

Ours has acted up a few times. Why it acts up I don`t know? Just put it in competitive driving.
And the Vette will go like a bat out of hell.
We put a few hundred dollars in the Vette each month and sometimes more. Our Vette requires alot of TLC. Check under the hood for loose wires, or anything out of order every time you drive the car. Get a good look under the car for anything out of order. She is a very expensive
automobile. If you don`t give her the attention
she needs she will break down. Long live our Vettes.

:iagree:
Check to see what codes you are throwing. I think mine was a 1287 indicating a steering wheel sensor issue. Took it to the dealer and had it replaced for around $300.
