''Chassis function restricted" error message?
I have purchase a car that had lowered suspension installed and i wanted to put back the stock springs !!
Brought the car to my local indy shop and they did the work !! But i am now getting that ''chassis malfunction error message'' everytime i start the car... its kinda annoying and i cant adjust my adaptative suspension at all Took an appointment to the dealership to fix the issue under warranty but im just curious to see if some of you ever experienced something like that while replacing coil springs?? My guess would be a broken sensor while the swap out the parts but im not 100% sure !! -Mike |

Received same error code after coilover install due to removing edc sensors.
Though for spring install the sensors are retained, so you shouldn’t be seeing errors. Possibly sensor damaged, or not plugged in. |

I think they did unplugged the sensors so they might have damaged one or forgot to plug them back... i wonder if they are hard to locate if i want to take a look by myself?

Oh WOW! that sucks. So in Canada you have to have OEM parts to Pass inspection or can you just lift the coilover kit back to OEM height and then lower it back after wards?

OP sounds exactly like my experience. A few visits to the dealer, couple hundo in new vertical acceleration sensors, new edc wire and alignment...all good now. It was a pain in my a$$. Good luck!!
