Customer concern or upgrade request
Removing the factory electronic damper system for aftermarket adjustable coilovers can trigger suspension warnings and EDC error codes.
Inspection and diagnosis
The recorded installation addressed the electronic damper system after removal of the original EDC control module.
Repair and upgrade work
Owners upgrading to aftermarket adjustable coilovers often remove the factory electronic damper (EDC) system — which then triggers suspension warning lights and error codes on the dashboard. We removed the original EDC control module and installed a plug-and-play Damper Cancellation Kit designed for FL5 and FK8, using OEM connectors so the vehicle runs without suspension faults while remaining coilover-ready.
