My mag red 6 speed 99 has been problem free since I bought it until last night. I've never see a Active Handling Warming message on my DIC. My friend see's it all the time on his 04 and it goes out within 30 sec each time. Well mine last night did not go for about 10 minutes and a check engine light came up while the active handling light was illuminated. The AH light eventually did go out after about 15 min of driving with a message saying the system was warm.
This morning I went to a friends garage to look into the Engine light. While going over the AH warming message came up again and stayed on for about 10 miles. It did go out before I got to the shop. We found a P0113 code. We cleared it and ran the motor. The light came back on after putting about 5 miles. I got a new temp sensor (the one that goes in the bellows just in front of the TB,) cleared the fault. Drove home with no problems. About an hour later took the car out and the check engine light came on again. Same code P0113. During this entire ordeal the AH warming would come and eventually go away. But it would take about 15-20 min for that to happen.
Can these two problems be tied together? I have the download device that connects under the column to get the codes. All I'm seeing is the P0113. If there were codes for the AH systems should I be seeing them there or is there another location to download a different computer? If these are two different problems what else can be causing the P113 code? Is there another sensor I should be looking at? What is actually warming up when this message is being displayed? I've never gotten the service message.
