While making a tight left turn to gain entrance to the i75 on ramp south of gainsville fla. The driver side front brake caliper locked up causing the car to swerve violently to the left. Fortunately no other car was alongside so an accident was avoided.. Since then this malfunction has repeated itself multiple times but fortunately at slower speeds.

While entering the south bound on ramp to I 75 at gainsville fl. The driver side brake locked up pulling the car hard to the left. The designation "service active handling" appeared on the drivers information screen above the steering wheel. I was able to turn the ignition switch to the "off" position & restart the car. Once done the notification in the dic was eliminated & the car drove fine.

Electronic brake control module (ebcm) controls the anti-lock braking system, traction control system, & stability control system. My ebcm module has failed, as with the vast majority of most all corvettes made from 1997 through 2004. The module requires electronic re-soldering of the printed circuit board. Module failure has no correlation with care of car, age of car, use of car, mileage of car, or any other know factors, just a bad electronic component. General motors charges approximately $ 2000.00 for the repair. There are now many "after market companies" that will do the repair, though general motors denies there is a problem with this electronic module. This company: http://www.absfixer.com can do the repair. Contact this company for much more information such as the problem nature & how many car ebcm modules have been repaired by them so far ... Thank you

Abs service light goes on. Abs system failure. Results in disabling of ABS, traction control and active handling. Has happened 4 times. Chevy had initially advised shutting off car and restarting: it gets rid of code and car will function normally. If the random event occurs during emergency situation it can result in loss of control of car, I.e., that brakes can lock.
