| Warning lights in dash alerted me to the active handling/traction control not working. this is the second failure of the ebtcm module. called the gm dealer for the module only to find out is it no longer available & there is no alternative or replacement available. i am currently driving the car with the fuse pulled to render the safety braking system inoperative. | |||

| The service traction control and service active handling messages appeared on my dash each time the traction control or abs brakes were engaged on my 2000 chevrolet corvette. eventually, the message appeared immediately upon placing the key in the ignition. i had my local shop diagnose the problem. the abs pump was tested and checked out fine. the chevrolet manuals said to replace the ebtcm (electrical brake traction control module). i called fred beans chevrolet and they advised me that gm discontinuted the part and no replacement is available. i tried sending the module to private companies for repair, but after two tries and $800 spent, the module was not repairable. i am extremely disappointed that my 11-year old high performance vehicle is without abs brakes, traction control and active handling (corrects the vehicle in the event of a rear wheel spin). these are extremely important saftey features for such a light and powerful car. many other c5 owners have complained on corvetteforum.com that they have similar trouble and no recourse. | |||
