Oh, I did finally pull the codes. I got:
1225 RF excessive wheel speed variation
1247 Brake pressure differential switch activated
My "service traction control/service ABS" lights are gone. I cleared the codes and all seems well. But, not sure what triggered the 1247 code?

FYI, I had mine tuned out instead of using the resistor and have never had an issue with it since.

When I unplugged and removed my F55 shocks and started the car for the first time I got the ABS light, that was the first time I ever saw that light on my car. Shut the car off restarted it and it was gone. I think you’re likely fine and what someone said about the car being sensitive to electrical changes is probably right.

I guess I am too heavy footed for the skip shift. I very rarely see it come on. If it does, I just give it a little gas and it goes away. It doesn't bother me at all and I have the kit in the glove compartment. Not enough hassle to install the dog gone thing....

I just purchased a 2003 50th anniversary addition manual coupe. I read much about the shift skip so I went ahead and ordered the overide. Now that I've had the car a week, I'm wondering what all the hoopla is about....I have only seen the shift skip kick in once, I was driving in a downtown 25mph area, taking off from a light. No big deal, I likely would have skipped a couple gears anyway. I don't really drive with a particularly heavy foot either. I have the part coming, but probably won't waste my time installing it.
