Suspension reset after battery change

Hi

Not sure if anyone can help. I changed the battery in my 997 and followed the instructions to clear the fault lights (turning the steering wheel and driving a short distance). All is fine other than the suspension is stuck in sports mode and the button does not seem to work. The sports mode for the throttle and Psm buttons are working fine.

any advice?

chris

The wires for the front PASM dampers come out of the tops of them and have a plug that connects to an extension cable in that same area as the battery. If the control box senses the absence of any dampener connected to the system it defaults to full firm for safety reasons. Maybe you accidentally disconnected one of the wires or pinched one while installing the battery. I'd start there and if you find one disconnected, make sure the polarity is right when you reconnect it, as it will plug in either way.

Problem resolved

Thank you. In the the end i tried the button when the engine was off but ignition was on and that seems to have resolved it
