Default Coil overs causes check lights

Installed my bc racing coils and a few lights came up, how do I get rid of them and what do we do with the plug that goes into factory struts?

Are you talking about avs suspension that your car is equipped with? If it is there is no way around it. Year and model would also help out.

Did you play with the setting on the sensor? I believe its on the drivers rear wheel, if I am not mistaken if you adjust it, it might be out of adjustment. Im sure someone will chime in about it.

maybe it turned on from the battery still being connected during installation.

YUP! I have zero problems when I start the car, and the car's almost on the FLOOR. I've done zero adjustments to my sensors too! (if anyone here needed to do it anyways). And just like you, I can click on and off my sport mode, with no changes or CELs.

You weren't very specific as to what is popping up, there are tons of warning lights on our cars.

The car's battery can STILL be connected to the car while the installation of the BCR's are going on. I reinstalled my sensors after my shop thought the sensors were a part of the adjustable suspension system. Your shop may have just flipped the sensors backwards upon reinstallation, have you read through the threads the two above linked you to?

okie doke, hope everything works out okay in the end hakisaki

The biggest problem is when they accidentally reverse the arms when installing the suspension. It happens often, that's why we assume, so make sure to jack the car up and check it
