I have a 98 that doesn't have the shocks for the ride system. I've tried putting resistors in there as was suggested by someone from the forum. That doesn't seems to have worked out very well. Is there a way to turn off or deprogram the system. It's not hurting anything but I just don't like seeing the codes all the time. Or maybe something different than the resistors. I've been able to get rid of about 8 codes by cleaning grounds and other things. The last code I will have is for lf wheel speed sensor and will replace that soon. Thanks-As always any help would be greatly appreciated. DBH-Vette

Find someone with a Tech-II programmer and have them delete the shocks from the computer system.
But before you do anything, how about pulling all the codes on the DIC and post them up here.

Resistors should have been OK. What guidance did you use?
You can remove the codes with a Tech 2. Here is some additional info on that.
1. Hook up Tech 2, turn car on, make sure module in the rear is plugged in. Do not unplug the rear module.
2. Use Tech 2 to delete the F45 option (F55 does not appear on the menu screen, use F45).
3. Save new configuration.
4. Do not turn car off, do not remove Tech 2. Go to the module in the rear of the car, unplug the grey connector (the widest one), leave any other plug(s) in. [leave the other 1 (F45) or 2 (F55) plugged in]
5. Turn off car, leave Tech 2 plugged in.
6. Remove remaining plugs from module in the rear of car. [never plug them back in again, if you do the F45 turns on automatically]
7. Turn car on to verify the "max speed 80 mph" is gone.
8. Unplug Tech 2.

I thought my question was pretty clear. Properly installing resistors (proper DIY or vendor modules) should have fooled the electronics and throw no codes. I asked you what guidance you used to install resistors.
PS: If someone unplugged or pulled the RTD control module in the trunk then the resistors approach will not work.

Thanks Dadaroo. I didn't pull any plugs in the trunk. I didn't even know it was there.I might try buying new resistors before taking it to a mechanic. What are the best size for this to work.As always thanks for your help-DBH-Vette

If you had the OEM shocks you could pull the interface from them to fool the electronics. I have that info if needed.
