Default Cags skip shift not working anymore

Gentlemen,


I have installed now 2 Cags skip shift eliminator things.... Both worked for a few months but now the Check engine light comes on constantly (though the skip shift feature still works.)


Any Ideas?


Thanks!

Are you sure your check engine light is related to the CAGS eliminator? what code triggered the light?

Any corrosion on the connectors possibly allowing the computer to see that the CAGS system is unplugged?

These are the FIRST two questions you must ask yourself.
Do that, answer them, then get back to the forum.

No corrosion. Checked after I installed the second one.


If I put it all back stock. No check engine light.


Code is:

P0803
1-4 Upshift Solenoid Control Circuit (M/T)

I can't recall seeing another post where the CAGS eliminator caused any problems. Mine has now been on two different cars and no issues. If you are able to track down the source of your warning light, let us know what you find out.

I don't have one, but can you put an ohmmeter across the bypass to see if it is good or not. And can you get to the resistor to replace it, if necessary? Just a thought.

I'm reading that the bypasses quit working. Right? An open circuit giving the code? Back to stock = normal.

I'm guessing the resistor went bad for some reason... a few cents at Radio Shack should solve it.

I'm thinking about getting one, but I have only it it on e time since I bought the car last Oct. Maybe it's just me but I never shift it that low???
