I put on TopSpeed Headers/Kinetix Cats.

I think it happens after highway (higher speed) driving. But not all the time??? I think it's sensor related, perhaps increase in intake is causing havoc, but does anyone have any clue? Restarting fixes it, until it happens again.

Please don't tell me to bring it to the dealer as I stated the car is modded. I did a search and I haven't seen a definite answer yet

 

Reset your computer. Remove negative battery terminal for about 12 minutes...then drive. You should be clear after that. If not - you may have messed of a harness wire under the car in the process, or not reconnected one properly.

Reset your ECU- its a must, you have to
that should work

 

Thanks guys I will try that and see if it still comes on....

 

something got ****ed up on the install of parts - maybe steering linage or something, i don't know. you're going to need to take it to somebody who can go over the install and see what got ****ed up.

 

This happened to my car as well. The steering linkage was misaligned (Dot didn't match up). Once that was fixed and the ECU reset...I was good to go!

 

Trini, could you please elaborate? Steering linkage? Dot? And dealership fixed it (I assume this wasn't under warranty)? Finally, how would have installing my headers/cats cause the steering linkage to mess up i wonder...

 

i still have that same problem- but mine is because i messed with the Throttle body and i got the lights

 

You have to disconnect the steering linkage "U-Joint" on the driver side in order to get the manifold out and the header in. If the steering wheel or wheels get turned so that the two ends no longer line up to factory position when reconnected, the ECU knows something is messed up and turns on your light.

 

It could be the O2 sensors too. I got dirt on mine when I reinstalled them into my new cats, and that caused problems for me.

 

i was watching the mechanic as he installed my headers...you have to disconnect the steering linkage thats unders the left drivers side...just picture the shaft running from the steering wheel to your suspension and you'll see it...go under car and look up at the header..you wont be able to have a clear view cause the linkage is in the way..simply disconnect and realign so the dots match up...then reset your ecu and you should be fine..its probably not the 02 sensors or throttle body cause you would get a check engine light..not a "slip" and vdc...just have it looked at again...

and as far as messing with the throttle body (referring to other post)...same thing happened to me when i messed with mine..just do the battery disconnect and it will be fine...

hope i could help..pm me if you need more info..

 

Totally right. My bad. I had a friday brain fart.
