As per the title. Experienced a hard EAS fault and now on bump stops (dentist booked after drive home). I am trying to run through Wammers diagnostic post in the tech archive. I understand that the system is now powered down. Can I test/run the pump by bridging the pins on relay 20?
What have you got on dash 35 MPH warning and all lamps on? Do you not have diag? Top scenario is that you have a leak and compressor has failed feeding it. Even if you bridge relay and compressor runs it does not mean it will run off ECU.

Yes Wammers I have the 35Mph message of death and all the associated bleeping.
Grrrrr is coming over with his Nanocom this evening. I was planning on running through your diag list in order to make sure that it is a leak rather than poorly performing compressor pump causing the problem.

Best to look at it with diag. Even if the temp cutout has failed you should be able to run the compressor with Nanocom and do the pressure and diaphragm tests that way. Good luck.

It seems the with the air temperature rising these pumps are struggling. I've rebuilt 2 today & another two range rovers are due in with the same problem.
Although the pumps are running, make sure they're sucking in the air by using your finger, thin paper trick.
These pumps respond well to a new piston seal kit.
I've noticed these faults always come around at roughly the same time, when the temperature rises.

I reckon you're right. Comparison of @EntropyUK and my car. Bear in mind his was too short a trace really, just round the block, whereas mine was a decent run. I think the pump is running too much and possibly the front bags might be wearing.

treat ur self to an eas kicker and keep it in the car mine has a fit once in a while plug it in it clears the fault and your back on the road.
He's saving up for a Nanocom but the EAS unlock software with Datatek's lead is the cheaper alternative for emergencies.

Not if you don't have your laptop n lead with you 24/7

If some one could work out the software for eas on an android phone that would be a godsend

Talk to Storey Wilson. I think the original EAS unlock had quite a few people working on it. It is open source so presumably could be recompiled for Android. Hardest part will be getting one of those ELM327 bluetooth jobbies to talk to the EAS computer through the ODB socket. Maybe someone could contact Ian Hawkings of Torque fame and see if he could add it as an add-in to Torque.
I've e-mailed him. You never know.
You press the disk symbol while you are looking at the Inputs screen. Think it was inputs. You take a live trace for as long as you want (or the ignition is switched off). Copy yhe csv to your laptop and then just dump it into Excel and manipulate. Can do that bit for you if you're a bit unused to using Excel. Or just copy the file in the zip, drop your data in and fill down rows as required and edit formulas.
