    Default ZR4 rear fales

    I'm having a problem that I didn't have before,


    Under heavy acceleration my rear ZR4 goes off...it doesn't have to be full throttle.


    I think it does it when a puff of smoke comes out the exhaust (cat less)

    at first I thought it was flames shooting out but then I noticed when I do shoot flames my Li's go off with the sun interference warning

    I also had a friend follow me and confirm it is black smoke only.

    is there anything at all that can be done about this?
    seems weird smoke would make it go off.

    I had the same problem with my Zr3. I had sent it back to them twice. For some reason if I stepped on the gas the thing would go off. They replaced it but it still kept occurring. I finally stuck them on E and sold them. I recall once having my exhaust tripping them. It was always the acceleration all the time. I finally am going to get another brand Jammer next month. If nothing else in my life breaks.

    My rear that is mounted on the front just falsed the other day too. And as I think about it, I honked the horn also, wonder why that would cause it to go off?

    I don't know, it's weird, mine has been doing it for the last 8 months atleast. I have a laser tester and it still lights up thru the camera screen when I test it, so I assume it's still working..

    I just installed mine a few weeks ago, so I was hoping it was an isolated incident, but probably not.
