Thread: 1993 EAS fuse??

ok, had it to bits, got the compressor going.
When you push the button to raise the suspension, it just makes a continual clicking noise from the valve body, can't feel which solenoid it is or what is actually making the noise

G`day ,

how have you got the pump to run ?

Does the pump keep running until it reaches cutout pressure ? ( as in normally )

Edit ..........

Without software i guess you`ll need to try manually to try to find what working and not .

You`ll need three lengths of wire , bare on each end .

Join three ends together so`s it`s one ( for power ), make one bare longer and join the other two to it . This is so the pin socket in the plug isn`t stretched as you`ll only be putting one thickness of wire in .

The other end will be three bare wires .

Remove the plug from the ECU as before with the ignition off . ( but turn ignition on when jumping )

Plug the single end into pin 1 .

To run the pump as needed jump one of the three ends in pin 8 ( there`s no need to run it all the time and you`ll hear what the solenoids are doing if it`s not )

Use another wire to jump pin 10 ( left front spring valve ) and another to pin 26 ( air inlet ) .

After you connect pin 26 the left front should start to rise .

Pin 11 and pin 26 will raise left rear .

Pin 27 and pin 26 will raise right front .

Pin 28 and pin 26 will raise right rear .

After you have it sitting around normal height ( not even , just up ) .

Use Pin 9 ( exhaust valve ) in place of pin 26 and it should lower on each corner you select .

If you do that much it will check some of the workings of the valve block and if one won`t go up or down ETC look there i guess .

i removed the pump & hooked it to the battery.
It ran fine, after plugging it all back together it runs off the car as is it should.
back to where i started with the clicking coming from the valve body

You could try above (edit ) if you like , it may show something .

ready to throw a grenade in it and run....

Before the explosion ....

The clicking/clacking sound you hear is an air valve being triggered, so "something" appears to be working...

Air leaks, no matter how slow, WILL eventually kill a Range Rover's suspension...
Start at the 'bags, then the hose connectors...all the way back to the valve body. - Spray around each of the black round thingies...

Soapy water is fine, as is WINDEX, or go hi-tech and use bubble-mix... y'know, the stuff kids use to blow bubbles with.

I'd start by manually inflating all 4 bags... - You have built up a 'Rescue Set' of air fillers/Schraeder valves.. have'nt you....?

The other Sad News is... unless it's been done by a previous owner, the Valve Body will need an overhaul... new O rings etc throughout.
Detailed instructions -with pictures - are here,
somewhere....

Frustrating YES, however the sense of Satisfaction, afterwards,,,,, is priceless

problem solved....
fitted a set of springs...my dad feels alot better about them too, he doesn't have to worry about the eas letting him down. no pun intended...lol

Yep , that will keep it up for a long time .

Which springs were decided on ?

Has he noticed much difference in ride quality ?

Have you just replaced the air springs with coils or have you removed it all ?
