I just installed H&R lowering springs to my 08 XKR vert. and now on start up Im showing a CATS FAULT.
Is this normal when you have had them unpluged ,I cannot take the car for a ride until spring.??

 

Yep so plug them back in and erase the code. You should be OK

 

That's correct or if you want CATS off, you have to remove the fuse to the module, it's in the driver footwell. Don't recall the number but it is in the driver's guide. I like CATS off as it makes it feel less GT and more track ready.

 

Thanks .I have never had to clear a code before. Perhaps you can explain how.

 

Usually turning the car on and off 3 times will clear the dash warning or you can use a code reader or Jag diagnostics software.

 

By the way, would love to see some pics of the wheels now that it is lowered and any impressions you may have now that it is done. You did the 35mm ones right?

 

I recommend everyone go out a buy a low cost "code" reader . You can get them at most auto parts outlets or on line. They read all generic codes and you want to make sure you get the type that has an "erase" feature which allows you to delete the code. ACTRON is a brand so just look them up. There is a connector under your left knee on the dash where you plug in this reader. It will link up to your management system. I have found that at times sensors due to weather or other conditions trip the MIL but is not a real problem. Erasing the fault will either fix the glitch or if it comes back then you know you have a problem. It also gives me an indication as to the problem so if I can't fix it I know what the dealer will be looking to do.
