Yes Nanocom can save the height values. There's several threads on this forum showing how to calibrate the heights. There's also a few YouTube videos as well.

I tried looking for them but couldn't find any specific thread on this forum with instructions on how to calibrate? I saw the YT videos with the block method, I'm wondering how does the measuring stick method work?

With Nanocom, you can send the suspension to any height. You will need the engine running when you do the calibration. For the measuring stick a I use a piece of alloy but wood will do, stand the stick on the ground, (must be level ground, put a mark at the wheel center, from that mark measure and mark the 4 heights that have to be calibrated. The measurements have been posted many times, if you cannot find them I will post them again this evening when I'm in the office.

Oh, gotcha, thanks! So I start by putting the suspension as high as it goes with the Nanocom, right? Without the blocks, if I deflate the airbags, it won't rest on the blocks to get to the correct height, is it going to drop down to access level, or how does it work exactly?

You adjust each corner to the mark on the measuring stick so it aligns with the edge of the wheel arch starting at wade height and working down to each of the other 3 levels. With blocks, you have to crawl under the car which IMO could be dangerous if you do not know what you are doing.

Thanks for the info! I see in the videos they're using some kind of a computer program. I have a Nanocom, will I be able to program the new heights with it, without a computer?

You can do almost anything with a Nanocom, so yes.

Found the trail of the front left RH sensor cables.
If its not the sensor is it likely to be these external wires?

The connectors can give trouble and wiring failure is a possibility.
