Default CATS/Adaptive Suspension

Can anyone tell me how to disconnect the adaptive suspension/CATS from Trunk? Is it a fuse or relay? I know I need to install 4 new standard shocks first. Also I know ADAPTIVE IS AWESOME! Just need to use something cheaper for now, shocks are way worn out and needs it.

The module is in the trunk - left side.

There are 2 harnesses - disconnect both (you will have a permanent CATS Fault message on your dash.

I personally advise against disconnecting the harnesses from the module...

If your looking to disable the shocks only than disconnect each of the connectors from each shock.

Again, you will have a permanent CATS Fault message displayed and the Amber light I believe...

I got rid of the light and CATS System Fault message by unplugging the module on mine.

yes, quartzSTypeR is correct.

To clarify my previous post:

If you have a fault, you need a dealer level reader to read/erase the code.

If you disconnect the 2 connectors from the ADCM module - the CATS Fault and Amber light will go away.

Thanks

Module is in the trunk on the left hand side. It says ACDM on top and you unplug both plug ins from the bottom. I installed non electronic Gas A Just shocks on my Jag and they are awesome!
