Re: New Owner F.A.Q. Development Thread
My Tour/Sport indicator light is flashing, what’s that all about?:
If you have ECS suspension, you should see a green Tour and Sport indicator light on your instrument cluster. Depending on what setting you have it on, this will adjust the stiffness in your suspension. However, if you notice that the Sport and Tour lights are blinking, that means there is a problem within the ECS system.
The problem is usually the wires above one of the struts being damaged. If you pop your hood, and remove your ECS strut caps (left of the battery and to the right of the plenum), you can inspect the wires. Make sure all of the harnesses are attached. If the front wires look okay, pop your trunk and remove the plastic interior trim pieces that cover the rear struts (right behind the rear seats). Remove the caps and take a look at the wires there.
If you see absolutely nothing wrong, and you’re tired of guessing, you can check your diagnostic codes. Using pin 3 (+) and pin 12 (-), you can help pinpoint where the problem is.
CODE || Reason
11 | G sensor defective
21 | Steering angular velocity sensor open circuited
24 | Vehicle speed sensor open circuited
61 | Front-right damping force changeover actuator defective
62 | Front-left damping force changeover actuator defective
63 | Rear-right damping force changeover actuator defective
64 | Rear-left damping force changeover actuator defective
Chances are, you will only get the 61 through 64 code readings, which means you should go back and check those particular wires again.
