Ohlins FK8 / FL5 Civic Type R Active Damper System (ADS) Cancellation Kit

The Öhlins ADS Cancellation Kit for the Honda Civic Type R (FK8 and FL5) deactivates dashboard warning lights and error codes that appear when the factory electronically controlled suspension is replaced with an aftermarket mechanical system. The kit plugs directly into the original suspension harness connectors, requiring no wiring modifications, cutting, or vehicle coding.

Honda Civic Type R models equipped with the Active Damper System (ADS) continuously monitor the electronic dampers. When installing Öhlins Road & Track or other aftermarket mechanical suspension, the ADS detects the absence of the original electronically adjustable dampers and triggers fault codes and warning indicators on the dashboard. This cancellation kit resolves those alerts while preserving normal operation of all other vehicle systems.
