Default CATS SYSTEM FAULT

I took a apart my center console to work on my J-gate because the stick was loose, I manage to fix that and save a 1000 dollars but some how I tripped a code, maybe coincidence or not but what did I do to trip this and how do i clear it, I tried disconnect of battery also tried positive to ground for a couple minutes no go. I had to dissconnect the sport and traction mode but they are both hooked up know

Maybe worth disconnecting the battery for half an hour to let everything reset.

Make sure the 4 shocks are plugged in and in the shock tower you will see a block with two connectors on it. It looks like two of the same sensor, one on its side and one up and down. Those are you accelerometers. Make sure they are plugged in. If you get your engine detailed, it can cause those sensors to go bad. If everything plugged in, you may have to get dealer to scan it.

I had those unplugged when I was getting at my coils and had the car started with those unplugged so maybe it just need to be cleared because all plugged back in code is still there but goes away if you turn the key but dont start it and wait for fuel pump and other stuff to load then start the code dissappears, but if you just get in and start it will appear. may just have to get cleared, can you not doit yourself, crapy tire could not.

GO to dealer and talk to a tech. Just tell him you unplugged it while doing something and can he clear the code real fast. Give him $20 or $30 bucks and he will. He will also tell you what the code is while he is in there. If you are in So. FL I will do it for you.

LOL.....Techs are techs. Money in their pocket is money in their pocket. Doesn't hurt to ask before getting car written up.
