I fitted new shock absorbers to the rear of my Z. Now the DTC keeps kicking in for no reason. :!: I have to drive with it switch off. Anyone got any ideas. Were are the sensors that control it. :sos:

Leave the sensors alone.

Get the geometry checked.

Find a local tyres / independent garage that have a hunter alignment system and get it fully aligned. May as well have the wheels balanced whilst your there.

Avoid kwik fit and the like as they are only interested in getting the next car in.

Any additions / work done on suspension will always need an alignment after.
