So I'm getting Service Active Handling soon code in my C6 for the past few weeks. Take it in for service - and to service a few other items.

 

Get a call at 2pm today, the names were changed to protect the innocent.

 

Service guy: Hey Terry, I'm calling about your vette. I have a few questions for you as I'm trying to solve the SAH error.

 

Me: OK shoot.

 

SG: So you say you get this under hard acceleration correct?

 

Me: Yes. Not going crazy on it. But seems to happen mostly when I give a good blip in 2nd or 3rd. Mostly.

 

SG: OK well have you reprogrammed the ECM at all with your mods you have?

 

Me: no, I only have a KN airfilter, Borlas, and the hurst shifter. No need for that.

 

SG: Hmm ok... interesting. I'm detecting its getting a lean code as well. Notice anything at all like a lack of power?

 

Me: Well I don't really romp on it. So not really.

 

SG: OK well I pulled the history from the ECM. Seems like you get this issue at or about 108 mph shifting from 3rd to 4th. Does that sound right?

 

Me:

 

SG: I see you had it up to about 149 and you've topped it out at 173 so far. Notice anything when you reach those speeds?

 

Me: Hmmm. That's odd. Really? 173? I could have sworn the HUD had me at 176...but I digress. No - didn't notice anything.

 

SG: OK I think we'll clean the MAF out and retighten down the clamps for the filter. Sometimes if you are pulling hard - and go lean - it will trip a code since the engine isn't operating correctly so it will slow the car down.

 

Me: Do what you need to do...I appreciate it...

 

The rest of the call was uneventful. But he did mention I take very good care of my ride. Was amazed it had 30k on it with a clean bay and no swirl marks and its a 2005.

 

Man, I knew they could pull codes and like the last 10 seconds after a crash. I didn't know it kept a history. Good thing my insurance agent can't see it. :rofl: :willy: :rofl:

 

 

I should have blamed it all on my wife :rofl:

Other than some gas spray on my passenger clam, my Crossflow isnt givin up any secrets about my occasional driving indiscretions:).

How long until the states figure out that this is a great way to generate much more revenue without the need to hide behind bridges with radar guns?

:iagree:But then what would you do with all of those radar guns and Officers who operate them...

Officer, I swear it was on a dyno when it hit those numbers.

I have also heard the rumor that at 173 @ 2:00 AM on a narrow 2 lane moon lit road wives will come unglued. As I understand it was to check out a high speed miss that wouldn’t show up till around 160 in 5th. 173 was also at the RPM redline BYW. The Miura S was reported to be god awful noisy in the higher RPM’s. Sounded like someone cutting a block of aluminum with a chain saw at full speed.

Insurance companies are trying to get access to this info. Interesting arguements about this stuff. I know that the little box in my semi tells everything. Every shift, how long I was in each gear, the rpm I shifted at, idle time, anything you can think of.
