It needs to be re-set every time you pump the tires to the correct PSI (32F/35R). Before driving, hold the TPMS button on the center console for a few seconds. The light on the cluster should turn off. The system monitors the tire pressure by comparing revolution of wheels on each axle.
What fault code did you get for suspension inactive mesasge?

I know the the sound of Dinan exhaust . What else do you have on it, Frank?
What plugs on 4.6iS, that you're wondering about?

You'll never get tired of the Dinan exhaust.

Tam

So far that seems to be about it for DINAN. But that shall change!

Plugs- I bought a set of plugs for the 4.6is that I didn't use, was going to pop them in the 4.8is….

BC- Truer words never spoken!

I replaced the ones (original Bosch) in my iS with NGK Iridium IX
Did you reset the TPMS light in the cluster?

Is there a Dinan badge on the rear?

Tam-

Picked up the same plugs for the 4.6is never had them installed.

No luck with the TPS button. Will have to break down and RTFM

BC- No badge, just DINAN on tail pipes, so guess that's all I have for DINAN.

I have all the Dinan mods available for a 4.6 other than the supercharger. They were added before I took new car delivery. Let me know if you are interested in what I would do if I knew then what I know now.

BC- Very interested…Not happy with all the go-fast stuff?

Update on Suspension- After coding it returns to normal operation…for a time. When it has been coded it seems to be higher on one side than the other….I've ordered the two rear bags, should have them tomorrow…TMS light will go off but comes back on when the Inactive light returns…

Speaking of lights….My high beams seem to be slaved to the Zenon and not the inboard lights…they seem to be only for DRLs? Anyone know anything about this?

Back to the shop tomorrow for plugs and fluid flush.

Spacers on today, so alignment tomorrow. Found a twisty bit of country back-road on way to shop (about an hour drive)…This beast continues to amaze me.
