Default Shocks inoperative code - BCM previously reflashed

Hey guys,
After over a year of the car being down due to a broken trans/differential I finally have the car back up and running. However, as soon as I put the key in I get al sorts of error codes for my shocks (Shocks inoperative, Real time dampening, etc...). The car did originally have the f45 suspension (it’s a 97 btw), but It was reprogrammed years ago. I’m not really sure why I’m getting these codes anymore. I don’t have a tech 2, could the programming perhaps reverted?? Any ideas?

After some reading, I think because I replied in the module unknowingly I turned on the f45 system back on, can someone confirm this? And if so, anyone know of someone in Cleveland with a tech 2??

I think you are on the right track. Did someone reconnect the shock controller if they did the system will turn itself back on and you will have to tune it out again.

100% correct!!! If the module was reconnected, it automatically reinstalls that RPO! Its TECH2 Time!
