How to delete the active air dam?

[HSKR R/T]

Excuse my stupidity but dont want to break anything. Picture of plug going to motor is attached. Do I push , pull pry the white tab??

Should pop out. Might need to use a flat blade.

worked perfect. came right off with flat blade help. Battery disconnected to reset things and hopefully CEL goes away...Thank you

Hard to tell from the picture. Looks like one of those you shove a flat head in and pull out, then remove the plug.

If you read the post above yours you'll see that he got it figured out.

Can you provide the trouble code you're getting? My understanding is that the AAD and Active Grille Shutters share the same trouble code. Are you sure you don't have an issue with your AGS?

dealer told me it was the active air dam. I was there picking it up after it needed a new 1200.00 computer module to get the key fob to be recognized. That is fixed but then he said its throwing this code. Told him I did not have a CEL prior to truck stopping because of key fob module issue.. Told him to reset codes and give it back.

I blame myself, bought used from rental place.

Slide the white tab out then pull out the connector.

Well this is how this ended. Took truck back from dealer with check engine light on. Again, this is right after i paid 1200 for some computer module to get it to start. Now before I took it they said ' Now you are getting a CED pointing at the Active air dam' . I told them this was not an issue until they got their hands on it. So told them to reset the CED light and I will take my truck. Light came back on, took to a small family owned shop here in Cape Coral and low and behold, the fuse for the AAD was missing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My 2019 threw a check engine code and light. Dealer says module motor bad on air dam. Dont care if it goes down when I reach 35mph. Just want light on dash gone. Any suggestions?

Unplug the motor and reset your ecu. CEL shouldn't come back.
