My prelude is for sure a Type SH but my atts light never goes on. How do I know when my atts is kicking in. Am i missing something?

 

The light should come on for a few seconds when you start your car.

 

well yea it comes on when i start it up but when will the atts light turn on when i'm driving because mine never has no matter how manny sharp turns or hard corners i've taken.

 

Why shoud it come on? Wouldn't it coming on imply that there's something wrong with it?

 

If the light is on while driving, there is some kind of fault. It only works while turning. The amount to which it transfers torque to one side is dependent on factors such as vehicle speed, steering angle, lateral-g, yaw, etc. During normal driving you don't feel it too much, but if you push the car some it quickly becomes clear because there is virtually no understeer, plenty of vehicle rotation.

 

It's not suppose to come on dude. If the light was to ever come on that means there is something wrong with the ATTS unit. Whenever the light is on the ATTS unit is completely shut off into safe mode so nothing else will get damaged through the ECM.

 

oh is that the only reason why it would come on? Because i was reading the owners manuel and it says it will flash on while taking hard corners.

 

No it will never flash. If the indicator light ever comes on the ECM is throwing some sort of code saying that there is a problem with the unit.

 

Yea you shouldnt really "feel" it, its not a thing where you should really feel it kick in. But if have have ever driven a base you will feel there is alot less understeer. Most likely if your atts unit was having any problems you would get a cel.

Well actually this is only somewhat true. Atts is tied in with some other things. I know that if your o2 sensors throw a code you will get a check engine light along will an Atts light, even though there is nothing wrong with the unit. Im pretty sure this puts the system into limp mode. But basicly what im saying is that just because you may have an atts light it doesnt necessarily mean that the problem lies in the atts unit.
