ABS? What ABS?
I recently attended a high-speed lapping session at a not-too-distant track from here in Tx. An instructor took my car around the course for a couple of laps before handing the wheel (figuratively speaking) to me. Prior to his laps, I set the handling to "Competitive Mode." When my turn came, I switched on the ignition and received three Service warnings on the DIC: Service ABS, Service Traction Control and Service Active Handling. In the absence of those services, the car was downright evil but, I managed.
I asked our neighborhood Chevrolet dealer to effect a repair. After spending nearly a full day analyzing the problem (according to them), they called and said that my "ABS computer had to be replaced." It was not cheap (4 digits).
Was this a necessry expenditure or could someone other than the dealer when a penchant for computers, Corvettes, and low overhead possiblyu effect a more economical solution?
I'm new to Corvettes but, have been playing with cars since puberty (I'm not a new grandfather).
thanks in advance for your "Monday morning quarterbacking."
