Hi..

Made up a cable, downloaded software, connected up, software running good.. maybe some of you can help with understanding the values..

Codes i got when reading faults were:-
0:FL signal incorrect
2:FR signal incorrect
4:RL signal incorrect
1:Vehicle speed fault
7:Vehicle has moved

and when i read the heights FL=255 FR=114 RL=115 and RR=104.:doh:

Now the 255 on the FL cant be right as it is not 1.5 times higer than the RR.. am i right in thinking that the sensor is shot? if i press the up button it goes up some and when DWN is pressed it goes down, when i re-read height 255 does not change but the others do.. these were all taken in the standard height mode... which when on the other page should read Front = 107 and rear = 97...

Whats the best way to calibrate?

Sorry for the very long first post.... help appreciated.. thanks

Hi Iceblue,
Checkhttp://www.rswsolutions.com/
Loads of info on Storeys site and he wrote the EAS software.
Good Luck.

Front left sensor knackered. Check the connections to it first though.

As Wammers says, the FL sensor is either knackered or there is a bad connection, 255 = open circuit.
To calibrate I use a piece of wood stood on the ground with the correct heights marked from wheel centre to wheel arch on it and adjust at each setting in small steps until it's correct.

My fiver says he is going to ask what the height settings are next. Any takers?

Datatek,

I had a play around with the heights on my rangie the other day as the ride is a bit loose. They all measured high to the recommended values so I set about changing them gradually. I didn't seem to have much luck which was either due to my small increments being too small or my total impatients (probably) as the truck didn't seem to move too quickly to the new high settings. For the record - the lead was connected correctly and the readings were all good.

Just a question though - when you hit the 'go to height' button on the software, is it an instant movement or a slower gradual one?

There is another section on the EAS software allowing you to up/down the sensor height settings in one go. I had a play with this but ended up with a fault and the truck going onto the bump stops!!!

I was short on time when I started to mess about with the heights and read somewhere on here (probably you or Wammers!) saying it is a couple of hour job. I must allocate a decent slot one fine weekend! Any further advice to aid me would be grateful!!!

Cheers,

Topboy

Sorry S**t out of luck there mate... this wififixer is already one step of ahead you... already know the correct heights settings buddy..

Thanks for your replies.. going to go out and check the connections first.. was too late last night..

Piece of wood on ground with markings on, an excellent idea thanks Datatek...

make sure the grounds level,bugger,could have taken a fiver off Wammer,and its a white one!:5bcheers2:

I go in steps of 5 or 10 depending on how far it has got to move. When I write back the new setting it moves almost immediatly. You use the "go to" function to select the height you are going to adjust, the write function to change. Changing one corner will affect all the others to a degree, so it's necessary to keep tweaking one corner at a time and measuring all corners each time until it's right.

Should be instant, but you need to have air in your tank to raise it. Going from Access height to Offroad height uses a lot of air so you will need to run the compressor periodically to recharge it. Don't do it too often though as you'll stress the compressor as they're a bit weedy at the best of times. Let it cool down between runs.

Is that the screen where you can change the values for each wheel in realtime? It's irritating as it looks really useful, but I'm pretty sure you can't store the settings from that screen which is irritating.

You do need to put aside a lot of time for this. I spent a few weekends trying to sort mine out and had all sorts of problems with a dodgy height sensor that needed almost out of range values to get the right height on.

Keep a pen and paper handy cos when the EAS ECU throws a tantrum it wipes everything you've just put in and replaces them with default values. Or it kept doing it on mine anyway!
