For those who have EAS suspension I now have an assist tool that allows manual control of the Primary control valving and compressor of your EAS suspension.

((for the OPS/MODs) if you think this can be more appropriately placed feel free to post it up, Im posting it here so that should I need to send the box on to some one else while on a trip I dont have to try and print the instructions they are available online)

The insperation was from down at cooma helping out someone with a dead compresor and this forms up part of the project I was doing with setting up remote air out/into the EAS gear.

This bit of Kit is a Free for Hire Item from the Minds of S.T.A.B.R.A.G Mechanics (thats Smash Tear Abuse and Break Rough As Guts)

The Box



What it does..

It plugs in in place of the EAS ECU and gives you direct control over the following Items

  • Compressor (on a time out circut with a momentry reset so you cant over start it OR over run it)
  • Raise valve (toggle switch - up)
  • Lower Valve (toggle swithc - down)
  • 4x air bag valves (4x momentry push button valves)


How to use it.

after disconnecting (but not removing) your EAS ECU plug the Silver box into the harness plug and then turn on the ignition the green power led and the red compressor led should Illuminate and the compressor should start after 3-5 minutes depending on battery voltage (just over 3 minutes at 14.5 v and just shy of 5 at 10.5v) the compressor led will turn off and the compressor should stop.

for diagnostic work on your compressor and valve block
  1. operate the swtich and buttons to operate the valves required (if your doing this you should be able to work out whats going on)
  2. when your done unplug it, turn the key off and plug your ECU back in.

For Emergancy work.(ecu Hard fault, ECU failure/ Sensors lying to ECU/anything else you can dream up that might make your suspension not quite work correctly exculding compressor failure unless you have an additional air supply source)

  1. Park on Firm LEVEL (Get a spirit level if you can) ground
  2. power off the vehicle, disconnect the ECU and plug in the silver box as per previous. turn on the vehicle (If you dont get the Red power led check your fuses, key position and battery voltage) allow the compressor to time out (red compressor led goes out) and reset it, when it times out again (shut down the engine if you have it runnning) continue onto the next step.
  3. select Raise/lower on the toggle switch as is appropriate to your requirements (you should hear 1 solenoid click and possabley some air movement)
  4. press and hold the momentry button for the tyre that is closest to you you should hear 1 solenoid click and that wheels suspension station should start to move. my suggested height for road use is aproximately 10 Cms of clearance between the top of the wheeland the side of the mud guard. A piece of 2x4 laid across the top of the tyre and flat will give about that much clearance.
  5. press the compressor button to cycle the compressor again
  6. Working in a circle move to the next tyre and adjust it to your required height
  7. Repeat steps 5+6 untill you have the vehicle sitting level at the height you require
  8. allow the compressor to time out
  9. Power down the vehicle, disconnect the Silver box and place a sock or similar over the Harness plug so it cannot short out.



How Do I get it if I need it.

Easy, Ask me for it, Pm, Email and SMS (ph number available from a select group of AULROian's) are all acceptable contact methods and at my earliest oportuity I will bag up and post to you COD. The loan time is 3 days in hand and it is expected to be returned by the end of the working week following the week I posted it in. I will alway send it as registered post with a delivery acknowlodgement required and expect it to be returned in the same manner.

The exception for this is if it is required for a long/group trip and then individual circumstance will be considered and conditions will be decided upon.


How Do I pay for it If I need it?

you dont, This is a FREE service to help you get out of trouble. what I ask is that you keep your ear to the ground for more of the silver boxe ECU's that have dead guts in them if you can get one too me then I will make them up as an onforwardable Item, I hope to eventually have one residing in each Capital city and also port headland (just to geographically cover the top end of WA.
