CATS Fault after HR Springs Install
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Just picked up the STR after having new H&R Sport lowering springs installed. Although the car now sits perfectly, I have an annoying beep whilst driving and a warning about an error with the CATS. Any suggestions on what to do? I drove 2-3 miles to see if it would self-clear but it was too annoying to continue driving. Is my best bet disconnected the battery and resetting the cars memory or simply disconnected the CATS module? I would prefer to avoid the latter obviously as I want to keep the electronic damping. Thanks in advance.

Resolved the issue myself with no mechanical knowledge as the garage I had the springs fitted at were a backstreet one who close early on Saturdays. I did some reading on this forum and the uk one and found that often when lowering springs are fitted to CATS equipped jaguars, mechanics unfamiliar with Jaguars (as the one I used was) don't connect the wires at the top of the shocks properly inside the engine bay. I had a look and the front right wire had been forced on which had bent the pins. I simply aligned them using a screwdriver, reconnected the wire and restarted the car. No error codes or warning beeps and the car drives perfectly now. The HR springs have done a great job at improving the look and handling of the jaguar with no adverse effect on ride quality. I'll upload pictures once I work out how. Thanks to those who replied and the forum which allowed me to fix my STR for free!
