Ohlins AutoSport Cancellation Kit – 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS

Ohlins AutoSport Cancellation Kit – 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS

The Missing Piece for Your Focus RS Coilover Install
The Ohlins AutoSport Cancellation Kit is a required companion for any 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS owner installing the Ohlins Road & Track Coilover system. The factory Focus RS uses electronically controlled dampers integrated into the car’s Drive Mode system, and when those are removed in favor of a mechanical coilover setup, the car’s ECU detects the missing sensors and triggers dashboard warning lights and error messages. This cancellation kit plugs into the original suspension control connectors to silence those warnings and keep the car’s electronics clean after the coilover install.

DETAILS

• Designed to work with Ohlins Road & Track Coilovers on the 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS
• Plugs directly into the original suspension control connectors
• Deactivates control lamps and error reports triggered by removing the factory electronic suspension
• Prevents dashboard warning lights when OEM electronic dampers are replaced with mechanical units
• Includes all mounting hardware for installation
• Mounting instructions included

Why the Focus RS Needs a Cancellation Kit
The Ford Focus RS from the factory includes Ford’s continuously controlled damping system, which uses electronically adjustable dampers to vary suspension stiffness across the car’s drive modes. When those factory dampers are removed and replaced with a mechanical coilover like the Ohlins Road & Track system, the suspension control module loses its sensor signals and responds by flagging errors in the BCM and displaying warning lights on the instrument cluster. The Ohlins cancellation kit sends the correct signals to the module to prevent those errors, allowing the coilover system to function without dashboard interference.

Simple Installation, Clean Result
The cancellation kit uses a plug-and-play connector that interfaces directly with the factory suspension wiring harness — no splicing, no permanent modification to the car’s wiring. Mounting instructions are included, and the hardware kit provides everything needed to secure the module in place. Installation is typically completed alongside the coilover install itself. The result is a car with Ohlins Road & Track coilovers fitted, zero dashboard warning lights, and no error codes stored in the ECU.

An Essential Add-On for the Complete Build
If you are ordering the Ohlins Road & Track Coilovers for your Focus RS, this cancellation kit should be part of the same order. Running a coilover system on a Focus RS without the cancellation kit will result in persistent warning lights and potential interference with other electronic systems. It is a small additional cost for a clean, complete installation that works the way it should from the moment you drive it off the lift.

Why Choose Ohlins

Ohlins has been engineering suspension systems for motorsport at the highest levels since 1976, supplying teams in MotoGP, Formula 1, and World Rally Championship. That racing heritage is not just marketing — it is reflected in the materials, tolerances, and engineering decisions that go into every Road & Track unit. The DFV technology, the rebuildable monotube architecture, and the corrosion testing standards are all direct products of Ohlins’ competition experience applied to street and track use. When you put Ohlins under your car, you are getting a product validated under conditions far more demanding than anything most owners will ever encounter.

The RallySport Take

The Focus RS is a genuinely special performance car, and the Ohlins Road & Track Coilover system is one of the best suspension upgrades available for it. The cancellation kit is what makes that upgrade work properly — without it, you are dealing with warning lights and ECU errors that undermine everything the coilover install accomplished. We carry this kit specifically because we want every Focus RS coilover install that goes out the door to be done right. If you are buying the Ohlins Road & Track system for your RS, add this to your cart at the same time.
