Not one code here, and the stealership is probably the reason you're throwing a code.

For sure--they can screw anything up.

I did the $.50 radio shack mod in 8 minutes and no codes.

I've had mine in since May 2002 & no problems. Take it back and see if they can get it right the second time. Good luck..

Nope no codes here! I installed mine with the battery disconnected as with anything electrical in these cars. As stated in other threads that this car needs to relearn any changes within the system.

Default Got the code again

I got the code again after resetting it. Once my 1 to 4 shift light lit up, the check engine light came on. Is it reasonable to ask the stealership for a reimbursement for the hour drive to them from before and after and a knock off of the hour they definitely added on for a 5 min change while they were fixing another screw up they did with my belt. I was going to give them a second chance but when do I start getting results.

4 trips for 2 problems = a pain in the behind!!

Where do you live that the dealership is an hour away? Good luck getting any dealership to reimburse you for your time!! I think it is about time you find a new dealership to have your car serviced!

My 1-4 shift light came on once and only once after I bought it. Ever since then I shift like the car is suppose to be shifted and the light never comes on anymore.

I dont think ive shifted at anything under 4K in 1st since then.

I was away at the time of a belt ripping and Had to go to the closest dealer with the part in stock so I could get home that same day. From then on I had to go back to them for repair on something they messed up on and missed.

Hmmmm, To tell you the truth I didn't even bother to disconnect the battery. I figured something as simple as disconnecting a wire and reconnecting while the car was off is no big deal. My car must be a quick learner.

I unplugged the wire, snapped on the cap and the CAGS dis-abler, wire-tie to the transmission, and vola, done in about 1 minute flat. That is of course after I spent a half an hour trying to install it on the wrong harness..

I didn't disconnect the battery when I installed a CAGS a few weeks ago. I didn't use the plastic wire provided though. I wanted the CAGS to be isolated from the hot transmission. Some have complained the heat can melt the plastic CAGS housing.
I used a rubber insulated ADEL clamp and a 1/4-20 allen bolt to secure it to the same transmission mounting ear.
Possibly, you CAGS has suffered the effects of heat or simply disconnected?
