Hi all,
Need some HELP urgently.
I put car down onto bumpstops so I could get the compressor out easier for me.(bad back)

How the hell do I get it back up to normal height and re-enable the system.

Have iid tool.

Compressor wouldn't go up or down when selected on dash, put a kit in from bagpipingandy.

Thanks in advance.

Have you closed all the doors?
The SLABS ECU will not enable the system if the drivers door or any other door is ajar or open.

Hi Strangy,
Yep had all doors closed.. Me outside so it could do its thing, but nothings happening.

EAS control is back on(iid tool)

I tried to put numbers in to each side, but it would only do left front.
Couldn't get any other corners up on screen?

The left front never rose up.

Checked both fuses, all good.
When I put the rear one back in there was a slight hiss of air.

Any other clues to get it back up greatly appreciated.:D

I worked on a tdv6 some time ago with my multivehicle tester and had the same issue, was on bump stops and no reaction to ignition.... everything went back to normal when i selected "reset(or restore) level zero" (or something like that i cant remember exactly) so if you have some similar function in your GAP tool try that route not to inflate bags one by one cos that's only for test purposes and the heights will not be stored anyway... and make sure all the fault codes are erased in the EAS ECU

double check you put all the pipes back on the right connectors?

I did the same thing with mine despite taking photos of everything before pulling apart.

Hi Chaybra,
That was the first thing I checked this morning.

One of the hoses(the smaller one) was not seated properly.:wallbash:

Put it back in, cleared the codes and it started rising.:thumbsup:

Took it for a bit of a test down the back paddock.
Up mode worked good. Went back to normal and then......
Down mode didn't do anything. :censored:
Will try down mode again tomorrow when I go down the shops.
If it doesn't work I might have to get a new compressor.

cheers

What are the 3 lights doing when going down? What was the reason for removing in the first place?

Middle light blinks then stays on.
No lower light

Haven't done it.

Do you think it would help.

Oi! Sort this out. :p

I'm about to buy a kit from BagPipingAndy to be ready for when I need it.

This morning I've tested the access height 4 times and its doing the job silently.:banana::arms::twobeers:

p39a, the kit is worth every penny.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions to get it fixed.

cheers
