Default more trouble



OOOPs!


So I've been restoring the wheels and noticed both these passenger side parts at front and rear are toast. Rear one had the arm unattached to the pivot, this front one has been smacked but good. Arm is busted and the pin connector is fairly demolished (green wire is severed). Haven't gotten my feet wet with the JTIS I downloaded so can someone tell me how much trouble I'm in here?

Surprised you haven't got some kind of warning on the dash, looks like your ride height sensor is goosed.

What codes do you have from all the modules?

And which modules if any are absent when diagnosed yet ought to be there?

Yeah, that's a big question. Hopefully i can get my scanner soon. didn't see anything out of line with the other guy's i930, nor with a professionals scanner with Jag software in it that i borrowed. what module do the leveler sensors feed? CATS system was a-ok no codes there. and yes nothing from mil or led readout or cel.

is this true?
are you having headlight issues ?

headlights are a bit down further on the priority list. I don't use the car at night if i can help it and i suspect the levelers are toast like most of the cars this age and i'll pick up the gear set off ebay eventually (or do a Brutal fix and call it a day as the sensors and all would be a deal breaker) . I was wondering how the car would level itself with CATS struts, and at the same time give you the proper damping.
