Default PSS10 and Pasm Failure?

Finally got one of my guys to install them yesterday. I get sport mode failure and pasm failure. Any common mistakes that my guy might have done that would result in this?

I have them set at 5 all around and while the drop is good, the ride is too firm. I'm thinking I'll loosen off to 7/8.

Thoughts?

Many thanks in advance.

Thoughts: yes - PSS10's are not PASM compatible. Only Damptronics are!

GA5-D598 is indeed the Damptronics (like mine) so you have the right set. Unsure what the issue could be then. I assume you pulled out all the back seats to fit the electronics properly?

ie.

NOTE: these were all taken by my installer so I am not familiar with the procedure myself.

IIRC the Damptronic B16 is the PASM compatible version of the PSS10. If you are able to adjust the damping, then it is the non-PASM version.

Doug is right, damptronics are only ht adjustable. You have the wrong set I think, regardless of the pn on the box.
