Subject:Unwanted Active Handling Activation DTC C1282

Models:1998-2004 Chevrolet Corvette



The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

Condition/Concern:

Some vehicles may have a concern with intermittent unwanted activation of the Active Handling System. The Yaw Rate sensor signal can usually be verified to be changing at the time this occurs. DTC C1282 will likely be present in the ABS module.

Recommendation/Instructions:

Check the Yaw Rate Sensor for a missing or loose "Pencil type" bracket. This bracket is supplemental to the main bracket of the Instrument Panel Carrier and is intended to provide extra support. Without this bracket, the sensor will "bounce" under certain road conditions causing the concern. If the bracket is missing part number 10409133 will need to be ordered and installed to correct the concern.

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
