If the wheels are stock I'd say it's an active.
Do you have an computer and cruise? __________________ ...steven

It looks the rear skirt has been re-painted. The contrast strip should go around the back.
Otherwise it looks like my Active.

The battery in my digicam just died so I will post interior pics later.
It does have cruise and sunroof.
I'm not sure if it has a computer though. How would I find out
The clock has a button that says S/R, but does nothing when pressed
The temp reads -40 all the time
The rear skirt looks to be original paint/color | | | | | 03-30-2012, 11:56 PM | #7 | | Member Join Date: Jan 2012 Location: Chicago Posts: 39 | Interior pics

Active.
-40F. You are probably missing the temp sensor in your brake duct. __________________ ...steven

I had the car inspected and they said it needed brakes, but I haven't noticed any braking issues while driving. | | | | | 03-31-2012, 12:18 AM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 |

That sensor is brake pad. Could be a bad sensor too. You'll be able to stop but once you get to metal you will score your rotors. The two are unrelated. __________________ ...steven

The two are unrelated. | I'll recheck the fluid. I already bought rotors and pads for all 4 corners from a former ti owner. Come to think of it, the car came with a set of pads (F&R). I only have one sensor, so I gotta research how many sensors I need for a complete brake job. | | | | | 03-31-2012, 01:08 AM | #14 | | Member Join Date: Jan 2012 Location: Chicago Posts: 39 |
So whats the final verdict? Is my ti an "Active"? | | | | | 03-31-2012, 01:15 AM | #15 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 |
