Hi ssmn1234

I haven't managed to do anything else to the car, as it is currently having/had a new airbag at the garage. I was due to pick it up today, but there are still problems with the suspension not budging. i was hoping having a new airbag, might've had some effect. They have run a load of tests, with their software and we seem to be coming to the same conclusion, that somehow the ECU thinks that whatever the height sensor readings are (which seem to be the same ones stuck on all 4), are correct for any height, no matter what ride height is selected. In turn the compressor isn't fired up, because it doesn't think it needs to raise it, if that makes sense?! these are only guesses at the moment, but i could do with borrowing a EAS ECU from a working Rover to narrow down the options a bit. Any ideas,help or suggestions from anyone are still appreciated.

thanks
Kev

Maybe start a new thred along lines of: need loan of working EAS ECU.
 
Yeah, good idea. I'm actually talking to Storey wilson at the moment as well, the guy that designed the EAS unlock software, to see if he can shed any light on the problem. He seems to know the P38 EAS inside out. The biggest problem seems to be the EAS not registering any faults, to point me in the right direction.

Well, sort out one problem and another raises it's ugly head! I changed the EAS ECU today, (as you were aware i was having problems with the compressor not running and the suspension not moving up or down) and everything was superb. Suspension went up and down as it should straightaway and height ride indicator flashed normally for a change! The problem came when i put my foot on the brakes for any length of time (more than 5 seconds). The EAS would hard fault and when i read the codes they were as follows:



FR signal incorrect

FL signal incorrect

RR signal incorrect

RL signal incorrect



I reset it, but it does this EVERY time i put my foot on the brakes. I have taken the brake light bulbs out, but it makes no difference. Even if i don't have the engine running, just with the ignition turned on, it faults exactly the same with exactly the same fault codes!! Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Kev

Have a look at your brake light switch and try doing a continuity test on all brake light wiring if you can.
 
I will when i have a bit more time. I'm back at work for 6 days now! I know the brake light switch is brand new, as i changed it when i was having problems with my cruise control, but i will double check.

Also forgot to mention, that fuse 17 had blown. I replaced it and it hasn't blown again. Even with the EAS playing up. I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
