Active handling light is illuminated all the time, and button on console does not work to turn it off. Is there a reset, or a bypass to solve this issue without having to take it to Chevy;shrug?? Thx for input.:thumb

If the problem exists after you turn the key off then back on, you either need to diagnose the problem with a scan tester or the factory service manual or take it to a dealer or independent service facility experienced with C5 electronics.

Thank-you Hib, I was afraid of that.

You can read the codes from the DIC on the dash. Here's a link to the procedure and the codes.

C5 DTC Code Meanings

If you have a 1214 code its probably the ECBM module. There is a relay in it that fails. I just had this happen, it's easy to pull out the module. Send it to absfixer.com and for $150 its fixed. It sounds like there are other cheaper alternatives to fix it as well, do a search here or corvetteforum.
