"Chassis Settings Service Required"
Last week I got this message for the first time and in less than a week is now appearing almost every time I drive the car.
I read through the threads that came up via search (found several threads) but found limited info in those.
I jacked up the four corners of the car yesterday and inspected the struts/shocks and wiring including the two accelerometers at the front struts and all looked fine. I did have some damaged wiring on the front driver strut earlier this year but the repair still looks ok from the outside (protective covering/tape still in place) so I'm assuming that's not the issue for now.
I couldn't see any accelerometers at the rear shocks but the wiring from the shock disappears up under the body so not sure where they are exactly.
Checked in the trunk next to the NAV unit but didn't see anything there as noted in one previous thread/post. Anyone know where the connections are under the hood? I looked at all connectors that were visible and appeared to be coming up from under the car into the engine bay and didn't see anything obviously loose/disconnected.
Anyone else deal with this themselves or at least completed some investigation on their own before taking it to the dealer? Where are the other sensors located? Anything else I can check myself?
The front struts were replaced under warranty 18 months ago at about 72K miles and the rear shocks were replaced in early June 2012 and have worked fine since then. The car has 92K miles on it now (2006 SR GT).
Other issue I have is that the car has been feeling progressively "sluggish" with less "get up and go" but I put it down to the 95-100 degree weather/high humidity in July but even on some cooler evenings the past couple days it's the same. I think my gas mileage has worsened as well so I have to start tracking via the info centre for a few days. I'm sure it's not related but want to deal with the chassis settings message first.
