CDC / IDS+ error codes by OP COM

**wannabegtc** · 28th December 2016, 08:30 PM

Today I did diagnostic with OP COM on my own Astra H GTC 1.9 cdti 150hp and found this error codes, any help or suggestions how to fix this?

Is it possible to turn off IDS+ system by OP COM, cuz IDS+ light is ON permanently and I have feeling like suspensions are in Sport ( HARD ) mode all the time.?

If I turn off IDS+ system what's gonna happen with suspenions, would they become just like "normal" gas suspensions or they still be like steel rods?

best regards

I've turned it off for a few cars (with Tech2) some time ago though, and I believe it reverted to standard shocks.

Just disable IDS everywhere you see it, variant config of the IPC will turn the light off.

Hello pecky, can you give me tips where IDS+ need to be disabled?

**pecky** · 29th December 2016, 07:28 PM

You just need to go through everything in the car, on tech2 you just unset it in one module then run the ECU Presence Check function and when it asks if fitted, you say no.

Opcom it is manual.

And shocks will be reverted to normal soft mode?

It has on cars where they were functioning correctly. They already were soft.

As yours are faulty, then who knows, I would suspect they will stay as they are.

Unprogram and remove wiring from the shocks will be all you can do.

So only I can do is disable cdc and change to standard shocks?

not sure if all of this applies to the astra as it does a vectra but check

EHPS (for dynamic sports mode) or such
ABS module
BCM (variant config (this should actually deactivate the switch))
CIM unit (high speed can)

as well as IPC as Pecky as said,

not sure how much of this is relevant to the astra..

I've never really rated the ride with the IDS shockers after i retrofitted the entire system, so ditched it and went back to sri shocks / springs

What is your recommendation for shock absorbers? Obviously I need to buy new set, btw. I'll keep springs from these CDC GM shocks.

Its all down to what you want really....

Some B4's which are equivalent to OEM or B6's which are similar to SRi, then B8's or more for anything stiffer.. Do some research on google and you shall find all about them
