Hello everybody,
I studied almost every thread on EAS problems on the forum but Im still unable to give an answer to mine:
It began with the truck not lowering to low level after a minute over 100 km/h on the motorway, even if the low light was flashing on the dashboard. And then an eas (soft) fault came up. I cleared the fault but experienced the same problem shortly. The car also wouldnt rise anymore automatically after being in low level. I tried selecting Hi but no reaction, even if the hi light was flashing.
Read the faults an got the following messages:
2 : Pressure signal constantly high
7 : Vehicle has moved
I cleared the errors but shortly I had another eas fault with the same messages.
I'm confident that I have no leaks as the car doesn't drop at all overnight. It just self level a little bit when parking and then it stay at this level even for days.
Last time I had a eas fault I checked the compressor and it was extremely hot. After clearing the fault the compressor didnt pump anymore but I assume this is because it was overheated.
Next day Ive selected all highs with the software on my laptop and everything was perfect. All changes were made immediately and smoothly.
Now Ive been driving the Rangie for 4 days with the inhibit switch on and no eas fault showed up. High changes operated manually are made in a reasonable time.
Having said that, this evening I noticed that the compressor was running almost continuously. When it does stop there is a quick puff of air in the vicinity of the exhaust valve then after a couple of seconds the compressor starts up again and keeps going until the next puff of air.
In the morning sometimes the car rises in 30 seconds sometime it takes 5 minutes.
Ive read that the most common cause of a pressure switch fault is a worn compressor. The second one is a faulty driver pack and that the pressure switch itself is almost never the reason for a pressure switch fault.
My first thought was the driver pack as the car was not lowering itself automatically after 30 seconds over 80 km/h and as the level selection with the inhibition switch was no problem. But now that I noticed that the compressor is always running Im more than confused...
Any ideas on what is to blame would be very appreciated.
