Default Selective Real Time Damping

I have an 02 coupe with SRTD. Whether I'm driving on the highway or on switchbacks in the mountains, I can not feel any difference between the 3 settings. The dealer tested it using the computer and found increasing electricity in each of the settings. Should I fell any difference and if so, how should the dealer test for the problem?

I have to assume this is a new car for you? The difference in the 3 settings are very subtle. The best place to see/feel the difference is over rough roads or expansion joints, "perf" setting will be quite rough and "tour" setting will smooth things out, "sport" setting falls in between the two and harder to tell a difference.

How many miles on your shocks. They do degrade as the miles pile up.

I do feel a difference even on the highway.
