S mode not working at all

JamesTheBrain · 03-11-2019, 04:09 PM

Anyone else have this issue and got it fixed?

CRiZO · 03-11-2019, 04:19 PM

You have a tune? I've seen others mention their tune breaking s mode.

JamesTheBrain · 03-11-2019, 04:21 PM

No tune that I can tell... bought used but I wouldn't know unless I had an uprev person check.

JamesTheBrain · 03-12-2019, 05:02 PM

Turns out it is tuned on uprev. Having a local tuner check it tonight. Thanks guys, I'll come back if it worked.

Any warning lights, etc? Does your cruise control work?

Had S-mode quit working on mine last summer and it was one of the switches on the clutch pedal. I had just replaced the pedal and CMC and just didn't have the switch adjusted quite right. Readjusted the switch and after a quick drive around the block everything was back to working as expected.

Nope no warning lights or cels. I'll get it checked out! I'm happy I found out its tuned cuz that saves me money.

The other problem I've heard of is when the bezel around the shifter is removed and when reinstalled slightly pushes down on the s-mode button. Never happened to me but I've seen in mentioned around here in the past.

Hate to have to ask but... did you check under the shift boot to see if the S button is plugged in?

UPDATE

I did check thoroughly under to make sure it's plugged in, Kind of just gave it a nudge in the correct direction. Turned car on pressed it on S was finally on the dash. I can only shut off by holding it in but that worked throughout two cycle of starting the vehicle. Gonna drive her now and hopefully it will stay on. TY for any and all info/tips

Yeah went for a drive and same thing it turned off and couldn't turn back on. Probably a connection issue hopefully gonna have it checked tomorrow thx guys

Rule #1 boys and girls: is it plugged in?

You could try a blast of QC electronics cleaner into the connectors.

Also, to turn off S-mode you do need to hold the button down for a few. That is normal.

Happens to the best of us. I once took my car in bc the window wouldnt go up; turns out someone's knee had hit the window lock button during some extracurricular activities in the driver's seat the night before...

was this issue ever resolved? i had the same problem after a really hard shift mess-up and then s mode would not turn on. After un doing the batteries for 20 min and resetting the ecu the problem went away. But it comes back randomly. I usually don't drive with s mode on so its only when i hit the button that i notice its messed up again.

In addition to shifter plug, it happened to me once, after I installed RJM clutch pedal, took it to my shop, there was a sensor on clutch pedal that wasn't connected properly as he reported.
