jstrutt Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Took it for a long drive yesterday and today. The only time I get the Active Handling message is when the cruise is on. Drove it without the cruise and never did get the message during that time. ????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCMSH Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I know there are some funky things that can happen with the turn signal/cruise control assembly and also some issues that can be caused by the hazard switch. All the circuitry would be interconnected so maybe a short in one of those. Go over to CF or Corvettemechanic.com an post it up, I'm sure someone has had the same issue besides you.

Drove it without the cruise and never did get the message during that time. ?????That's why I asked the question. I think Jim may be on to something. You may have a faulty "multiposition" switch.

jstrutt Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 Took IT GOES for it's Federal and Provincial inspections. I read on CF that tires and wheel alignment will cause a no code Active Handling message. Needless to say, the front tires did not pass the inspection as they were worn due to poor alignment. So new tires ordered and then an alignment and we'll see if that cures the problem. I'll keep you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don&Patty Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Damn, this is getting complicated. If it’s not one thing then it’s another, if it’s not that then try this and so on and so on. From the ECBM, the steering wheel position sensor, bad grounds, loose wires, wheel sensors, and little green men from mars. Which actually I’m leaning towards the little green men from mars as the problem, they are really sneaky. Reading all the posts on the CF and talking with other C5 owners this seems to be a pretty big problem one of those it you haven’t had it you will. Maybe it’s something that GM should be addressed. I know that may be asking way too much of GM; just a though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstrutt Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 That car is giving YELLER a bad name! Not really. It's a one owner and he never took the time or drove it enough to get the bugs out. If you need a laugh here goes:Took it in for Provincial inspection. They will not pass it because the door windows were not tinted by GM but done afterward. The tint is acceptable though, not too dark. So to get it passed I pay to have the tint removed and five minutes later can take it next door and have it redone for $400. WTF is that? And I wonder why I'm homeless............

jstrutt Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 Small update. Ordered new front tires as they were so-so and new wheels. Left front wheel was bent. After all the reading on this problem and possible causes I decided that a reasonable cause could be the combination of tires, bent wheel and lack of proper front wheel alignment. This theory is described in detail on CF and Chad mentioned the possible tire problem. Once the wheels come in we'll see what happens. I'll keep you informed.

jstrutt Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Well, I believe the problem is cured. I replaced the tires and rims. Found out one of the old front rims was bent. I've driven the car 1,000 miles since the change with no message or problems..................hopefully, the rim was the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
