Default Active air dam

I noticed my air dam was down on one side. It had bent but after I fixed it, it never went back up. I think the actuator on the passenger side is broken. So I removed just the air dam and left the actuators in place and plugged it. Now I’m getting this message EVERY time I drive.

Is there a forscan fix for this or if I unplug them will this go away?

I removed mine (along with actuators) 3rd day after taking delivery. there are codes if I look for them in forscan but nothing shows up on instrument cluster. so to answer your question, I think unplug + clear codes in forscan should make this message go away.

I don’t know if this will disable the codes, worth a try. Backup the PCM before making any changes.

PCM 7E0-162-02 xxxx xxxx x1--

I also removed my dam and actuators. Never saw a message on the dash. You should try unplugging yours.
