Why would it have deeper engine noise? That's not how the S mode works.

Does the S light blinks?

It used to make a deeper noise, and yes the green light turns on, but it dosent have the noise, like i knoee itz not working , de engine has no feeling wen i press it, de rpm does not even move bit up

All the sport mode does is raise the shift points at partial throttle to a higher rpm, as for the noise, there shouldn't be any associated with the system. Maybe someone before you did something extra to the shift button, or the noise you heard is related to something else.

Try switching out your tcu for another one, and see if the problem persists. As for the deeper noise that it would make when you would press the button, i'm clueless Someone hooked your sport button up to the iabs?

Thnx ima try some stuff out, well it working beforee i dont knoeee why it stopedd workinggg

The sport button only changes where the transmission shifts at partial throttle. It does nothing to the engine, and it should not change the sound... ever. If you were hearing something when you pressed it, something was wrong.

The Sport Shift mode is worthless, and was discontinued in the later models for that reason.

Sport mode helps keep it in second when going up a mountain in D3 or in third in a 25 mph traffic jam in D4. I would contend that it's the third gear, not the sport mode that enables it, which is more useless.

But yeah, just coming home from the store you can't tell the diff. Unless you just moved to 3000ft up a mountain like me.

True. I live in southern NJ... I kinda forget that mountains exist!
