EAS Pressure switch cactus

[TheTree]

Hi

Got an EAS fault, nanocom tells me is pressure switch stuck status.

When I checked my pressure gauge it was at 170 :eek: So i let a little pressure out with the schrader valve.

I will pull the compressor fuse so it doesn't run all the time.

Should I put the EAS in manual as well, or just keep topping up the air reservoir?

New pressure switch about to be ordered

Have you carried out the pressure switch test? It's on youtube courtesy of storey Wilson.

Hi

Yes the test and the nanocom agree. Looks like manual EAS for a few days

Hi

Looking in RAVE it mentions F44 and Maxi Fuse 2.

I guess I should pull both of those?

Hi

After more reading I think it's best to pull RL20

Hi

I had a thought that I would try a reset before I disabled things and in true P38 form the fault cleared and has not yet reappeared !

Edit: It's baaccckkk ;(

For what bit's worth Steve a handy mod is to install switch to turn off EAS system. Believe me it's very handy if you need in hurry i.e. before you hit bumpstops. I wired mine in with LED on dash directly above EAS control switch. Save getting out to pull relay.

Hi

I pulled RL20 and switched to EAS manual, cleared the fault with the nanocom and it seems perfectly happy.

BTW rr.net mentions pulling fuse 44 and maxi fuse 2, on my 99 those fuses are for the gearbox!

More switches to disable it entirely may be a good idea!

I did the same on mine, but used the spot on the far left (along side the cruise control switch) and replaced the blanking panel with another EAS inhibitor switch wired up to turn on/off the EAS.

I probably would have done same Gary. But I replaced blank & cruise switches with OE diff lock switches ( all I need now are the diff locks :)) then i'll be real happy.

I also installed a simple on-off isolation switch.
Five minutes to wire and install, works fine.
Dont give a bugger how it looks. KIS.
