Since the valve is unresponsive to the computers commands wouldn't that apply to the CG as well?

That’s a good question because you still have to plug the OEM wiring into the CG and then CG to actuator. I figured the way it worked is it would bypass the system but they cannot be true if the OEM plug is connected. Keep us posted if the tech can figure it out.
