    Active to Passive Dampers on GTS with bi mode

    I can't seem to find much on this topic.

    The shocks on my 13 GTS have felt tighter so I figured during my recent bushing overhaul, while I had everything apart, I would throw on a set of BC coilovers to see how they ride. The answer is...fine, BUT they leave the wiring for the suspension controller open-ended. There's an open plug at all 4 corners now.

    The car now throws a traction light on the dash, stays in Race mode for suspension setting (this doesn't matter), and won't allow any changes to ECS mode. I've been told by the Viper Tech that ABS is probably affected as well. One of the solutions is apparently changing the body code of the car to trick it into thinking it's one of the other trims that doesn't have active dampers. This is a bit more extreme than I'm willing to go.

    Has anyone encountered these issues? Surely someone has taken a GT/GTS and put on BC, MCS, Penske, etc. Do I just need to find a resistor to plug in and trick the system?

    I would pursue the resistor as the best overall solution.

    Solved: the state I left the alignment in after reassembling the suspension was so horrible that it must've been tripping up the computer(s). We're back in spec and all of the ECS issues have cleared, for now.

    Use die electric grease and cap the plugs. If you leave plugs open road and dirt debris can cause problems down the road

    Never have any codes or errors with my BCs on my 13 Gen5 GTS, only thing like you mentioned is it stays in "race mode" but doesn't effect anything drivability wise, as far as I can tell.
