The Service Active Dampening System message popped up on my dash (2015 Hellcat Challenger). I'm done the reading and tried these suggestions

• Looked for broken or rubbed through wiring. (Didn’t find any and the tires are stock size)
• Looked for leaking shocks. Didn’t see any.
• Check fuse 48, it's good (bugger is hiding in the trunk)
• disconnected the battery for an hour and reconnected.
• Checked for DTC using the dash menu – nothing listed. Same for a basic scan tool.

Can anyone point me in a direction? Are there any cheap scan tools to will read the Active Damping system codes?

Thanks!

You could maybe try unplugging and plugging back in the quick connect. Just follow the wire it’s only like 3 ft of wire of so off the shock to a quick connect. For the rear at least. I haven’t spent any time looking at the front.
tire size doesn’t matter as much as the wheels. Are you running stock wheels?

Thanks. I'll try reconnecting the wiring harnesses..

Yes, stock tires and rims. I had read that wider tires would often rub the wiring.

Well I never had an issue with 20s even with 11in wide and 305s. It wasn’t until I put a 17in wheel on did I have an issue. It is easy enough to zip tire the wire though. There is a lot of slack and it really hangs out.

This happened to me as well. Dealership had to replace the entire rear strut to fix it. It might have had something to do with how much I lowered the car. Not sure. I was also running 20x11 wrapped in 315s

So I scanned the car and I have a code U0139. "Lost communication with active damping control module."

It looks like this. Any idea where it is?

Did you find it? I think it's in the trunk but I don't know how to get the panels off.

Open trunk. Remove enough plastic push pins to peel back right panel and you'll see it.

You were absolutely correct, I pulled the pins and it just fell right out LOL! I was worried about damaging something. Unfortunately it was a fruitless effort. I found that by disconnecting the correct strut the chiming stops but all the wheels combine to one of the plugs on the unit so without the pinout, I can't tell which wires I need to possibly bypass... thanks!
