1jester Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I won't get to checking the DIC codes until tomorrow. I've read tons of stuff from that Forum on this topic. There could be a kazillion reasons for the message (all the way down to dirty connections, poor grounds, etc.) Once I pull the codes I will post them. This should end up being a long drawn out affair. Then again, I can always keep it turned off which wouldn't be too smart..God, John. maybe that's why the car is "LEMON" yellow?

jstrutt Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 Nice day here today so I took IT GOES for a drive. Cleared all the previous codes and away I went. 20 miles down the road I get the ACTIVE HANDLING message again so I pulled over, left the car running, ran the codes and nothing. Turned the car off then ran the codes, nothing. So I am thinking that it has to be (like suggested) a dirty ground or connection. Will look at them early next week. The son gets hitched tomorrow so this weekend is bye, bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Y Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Well, if the AH system thinks it needs to intervene and is operating properly, it may not throw a code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstrutt Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 Well, if the AH system thinks it needs to intervene and is operating properly, it may not throw a code.That make sense Ted but it is shutting down the Cruise so one would think it would throw a code, not?

Ted Y Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 It may be that it is supposed to cancel the cruise, such as if you hit ice or something and the AH comes on. Otherwise, I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Is it giving you the active handling message at any other time or only when you engage cruise control?If it does come on at other times as well, I'd look at the wheel speed sensor connections as well.

ChadC Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 shot in the dark.post up what size tires you are runnign on the front and the back. if the difference is too great/little (3%) it can/will freak out the AH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstrutt Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 Front - 245 45ZR 17Rear - 275 40ZR 18Same as the original tire size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadC Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Front - 245 45ZR 17Rear - 275 40ZR 18Same as the original tire size.are you sure?from my memory, you want to keep the tire size under the 3%.searching CF for a link...you have the OEM size, but your issue is decribed in other threads where peeps have aftermarket tires that are greater than the 3% rule fo thumb.

Don&Patty Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I’ve been fighting the same problems for three months now, check out my July 15th posting. It may be the steering wheel position sensor, it’s connected someway to the EBCM and it’s only $70.00. I’m beginning to think that my problem is the EBCM, I’m getting the following history codes 28-TCS U1301, 1214, 1288 and 1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m beginning to think that my problem is the EBCM, I’m getting the following history codes 28-TCS U1301, 1214, 1288 and 1000.U1301 is "Serial Line Short to Voltage"U1000 is "Loss of Communications"Both talk about SOH (Status of Health) and being unable to determine becuase of that loss of communication. Being that it's in history it sounds like a loose connection, faulty/dirty grounds.Sounds like you really need to find something loose. It also talks about star connectors being loose. Where to find them I'm not sure.U1214 and U1288 don't exist in my '99 Service Manuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don&Patty Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I've taken all the grounds I could find, including the ones under the battery and have cleaned them. Have checked for other loose connections and so far nada. What leads me to think it’s the ECBM is the c1214 code. Anyway one of these days I’ll pull the ECBM and send it to http://www.absfixer.com/ for repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
