Default My Skip Shift....

Stopped working today..


The Z is an 02 bonestonck with 12,593 miles.Anyone have that happen? Is that something that I should be concerned about? I dont care about the skip shift feature itself but I dont want it to start having other computer problems.

Actually Id take off very slowly and purposely shift at under 19mph.The icon on the dash didnt light up and I was able to go right into second gear.In about 30 take offs the skip shift only worked maybe 4 times.

Today was the first time I noticed it.As long as it isnt an indicator of any other more serious issues I hope it stays gone..It never really bothered me that much anyway.

You are lucky, you didn't have to pay $20 for a CAGS eliminator or have to crawl under the car to install it!!!

The Skip Shift light comes on only when the coolant temp is over 169 degrees, you are going 10 to 19 mph and you are at 21% throttle or less.

I was over that temp eventually and it was still sporadic not coming on more than it worked.
