Active Air Dam has been posing problems.

Hi all,

Background:
-1 year ago I removed the Active Air Dam and did not tape up the connection under the truck

-6 months later, when my battery died a CEL came for the active air dam & active grill shutter.

Tried reinstalling the active air dam and did the following:
- Took to dealership to clear it
-Disconnected battery and let it sit
CEL hasn’t gone away in over 6 months now.

Just today, I got my security bypass cable, AlfaOBD, & OBD connector.

I performed the following steps to clear it;
-Car Configuration -> Active Air Dam -> switched from Yes to No.
-Cleared the code
-Changed the mode to engine so it’s not just the PCM but also ECM & cleared the codes as well.

It went away, only to come back later.

I did the same thing again after I removed the active air dam now and I’m having the same output with it throwing codes and the check engine light coming back on.

I bought all the AlfaOBD stuff & a smartphone just for this to clear this check engine light, wasted like $250 so far on just this.

I just want my check engine light gone and my ability to start my truck from my key fob without it shutting off seconds later again.

What else can I do?? I really would appreciate any advice.

Quick question, are you sure it’s not your active grill shutters setting the code?

Quick question, are you sure it’s not your active grill shutters setting the code?

Unsure on this, I’d wanna say no, but is there a way to check and confirm?

I do get both codes thrown for the AGS & AAD but I thought the AAD could cause both to appear if it’s not functioning properly.

I do want to add, when I changed my battery, it was because I installed some new pod lights on my truck (all wired via a switch panel).

I left the lights on and the battery died from that, and the CEL/Code has been there ever since.

Unless the AGS could have gotten messed up from when I killed my battery and had to change the battery, I don’t see how the it could be that given the timing of it all.
