Default Warning light after installing bilstein 5100

Hi guys

This is my first post on this forum and hope I can get some help.

I m currently experiencing with warning light on (vsc off , VSC Trac) after installing my bilstein 5100 on front and rear.

I did the meta tech rear conversion kit about 3 months ago and followed all the instruction with pull the fuse out. Everything seems to be fine until today that I installed the bilstein.

My question is should I keep the oem sensor from the old shock ? Or just leave it unplug? I been searching and couldn’t find an answer for this.

What do you guys recommend to do next ?


Thanks !

Read the codes and let us know what they are.

You may need a zero point calibration. I believe it should be done whenever an alignment is performed/ suspension components replaced.

top dampening adjuster can be unplugged.

You most likely damaged your ABS sensor when installing the bils. it only takes a good yank or a small tug to damage it and its common for that to happen if youre not careful.

I was thinking that too, but wanted OP to post the codes to be sure.
