Hey so today i bent my exhaust. Long story but this stupid rubber speed bump at the mall hit my exhaust and bent it. Tonight i removed the exhaust including the last cat and back. Before i took it off it was just hanging there. The ATTS light and the malfunction light came on immediately after the little incident and I'm not sure why the missing o2 sensor would make the ATTS light come on. Anyone know for sure or got good guesses?


the two sensor connectors are coming out of the cat

 

Anytime there is a CEL, your ATTS system will automatically de-activate itself. It's a protection function since it can't adequately determine engine loading anymore. Once you clear the CEL's, your ATTS system should be fine.

 

So that means I can reset the CEL's and ATTS will be fine?

 

assuming you don't throw a CEL again and nothing is actually wrong with your ATTS (which is unlikely), yes.

 

it ripped the contacts for the 02 sensor out of the plastic connectors. How do i reconnect these?

 

Is it the connector on the o2 sensor or the connector on the chassis that is broken? If it's the sensor that's busted, you're probably best just getting a new sensor, although if you're handy with a soldering gun you might be able to fix it. If it ripped the one on the chassis, you will probably need to go to a junk yard and clip one off another car and solder it back on so you have a connector again.

 

its the one on the chassis. it like ripped the contacts out lol. And one of the contacts were ripped off the wire and i think is still in one of the connectors
