    P38A P38A 1996 4.6 Auto HSE EAS slow to lower and rise + random height change to extended height + compressor running too frequently.

    To be fair I didn't consider this. I was under the impression that the bags only received or vented air when changing height via the dashboard button.

    I've checked the height settings via nanocom and watch the sensor values as I raise and lower the vehicle and everything seems in order. No random readings or jumps etc.

    Thanks for replying to one of my EAS threads again! My reasoning for thinking the compressor is running too much is that if the cut off pressure is ~150psi and the start up pressure is ~115psi then it would have to be losing nearly 35psi in 5-10 minutes in order for the compressor to fire up...

    I just rebuilt the valve block and didn't find any traces of desiccant anywhere in inside it.

    Hi All, After my last issue following my valve block and compressor rebuild, I'm still having the initial problems I set out to solve: - The EAS can be slow to respond to height changes on the press of the button. This happens both when raising and lowering the suspension. For example today it...

    P38A 1996 4.6 Auto HSE. driver side bags not inflating after valve block rebuild.

    Update: thanks to Nanocom we were able to diagnose that I'd got the rear right and the front left solenoid coil caps mixed up... Apparently I wasn't as careful as I thought...swapped them back and the bags are all inflating as they should. Thanks again for everyone's replies and suggestions. Now...

    P38A 1996 4.6 Auto HSE. driver side bags not inflating after valve block rebuild.

    I'm pretty confident all the plungers are the correct orientation but I can always double check when I remove the valve block again to check the driver pack plug. I'm still a bit lost why the front right airbag won't fully inflate beyond approximately the standard ride height. Does the ECU or...

    P38A 1996 4.6 Auto HSE. driver side bags not inflating after valve block rebuild.

    As I recall, all the plungers moved freely in the tubes. I'll start by stripping the driver pack to solenoid plug and checking the contact between the pins. After that I'll try some manual testing with nanocom. I'm now wondering if I could try swapping the coil caps to test if I can get the...

    Yes all pipes are in the correct ports.

    Just for clarification, Ive only swapped the solenoid tubes and bases. Not the actual coil caps. That makes sense why you can't swap the coil caps round.

    P38A 1996 4.6 Auto HSE. driver side bags not inflating after valve block rebuild.

    Thanks for the replies so far. You have given me a few things to check. I'm aware of the differences between the air bags solenoids and the diaphragm and exhaust solenoids for example. I labeled up all the solenoid with their original positions before I started the valve block rebuild. Would I...

    Hi All, I've searched the forums and can't find anything posts that quite match up to the symptoms I'm having. I just rebuild my valve block and compressor with the XR8 rebuild kits. Spent a full day rebuilding everything following PaulP38As guide for the valve block and XR8s guide for the...
