Hello,

I've spent over an hour searching this forum regarding the adaptive damper module that is mounted at the top of the shock mount on the 2015 is250. My question is, when installing aftermarket coilovers and removing the adaptive damper modules, does it trigger any error codes or warning lights? Ultimately, I wondering what negetive effects can happen when removing the module?

Apologies in advance if there is an existing thread about this but I have tried searching for this.

 

Won't throw any warning lights but will probably show a error code on OBD readings. Just remember to strap it to a secure location so it won't bounce around while driving. You also lose tightening of the suspension on the fly when in S+ mode (biggest reason why I went with the J5 AVS-compatible coils).

 

How does the J5 ride as far as comfort?

 

Switching to coilovers already tightens the suspension, no? Can the modules be removed/unplugged instead of strapping them?

 

To my knowledge, the lightest spring rates that J5 offers is a tadbit stiffer than stock (8k).

 

Yes and yes. In this case, J5 non-avs coils would work and be better suited. The J5 AVS compatible ones just allows you to go from a tight to tighter suspension on the fly when in S+

 

Yes the motors can be unplugged and all you have to do is tuck harness connector out of the way. With motor unplugged it does not trigger any error codes on dash

 

like everyone said. no error code. was hopeing someone had taken it apart already. guess ill be the one lol. im gonna try to switch the inner piece with one that fits in my strut tower to get that option back.

 

pull the relay, it will never know it happened
