Active damprer System
Hi, Picked up an 07 MDX sport and the "Check Active dmaper System" message shows up occasionally.
It is out of warranty. Not looking forward to getting ripped off by the stealership.
Is this a serious problem. Anybody had similar issues?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

There could be a problem with the struts. They have had a couple of fixes over the years including sensors and replacing the ADS control unit. It's expensive to fix. You should notice a huge difference in the way the MDX handles in sport mode when the light comes on. I've seen prices quoted from $900 to $2200 to fix the problem. Most I have seen are the front struts.

Thanks for the reply.
I bought this from a dealer. Could this problem be a safety issue?
Can bad tires cause this problem (tires are all worn to the limit and I have odered new tires) and if there is a problem with the strut or the sensor, shouldn't the message be coming on all the time?
Sorry for so many questions - I'm trying to find all I can quickly.

I had it done at the White Bear Acura.
Service was very nice.
They ended up replacing both front struts. I also had them replace the front brake pads and resurface the rotors and the total cost was about $1500.

why not pay the check out time to be certain of what the problem could be.

I don't notice a difference at all in my 2009. Except the light in the switch goes on/off...
