SupporterThe SLS is working fine, adjusted the ride height this morning and on the last trip, with both back wheels spinning the indicator came on that the REAR WAS RISING and the pics bare this out.
However when pressing the ORH switch on the dash, nothing zip zero. Changed out the switch this morning and now after an hour and half on the net, no answers seem to be available. There is no separate fuse that I can see for ORH as such and there are no faults in the Nanocom showing.
This has been an issue for a while and changed the SLABS to D2a with no solution there... As I said the SLS (was serviced a couple of months ago) is working as it should, lowers when stopped and rises on ignition. Doors are checked and they are closed when the button is pressed but no ORH.
Ideas welcomed, solutions preferred LOL
Oh also Hawkeye gave some long number and did not recognize the SLS system at all...

If the system doesnt react to the ORM switch it's a circuit issue or you push it too fast, as about the other thing, when the wheels are spinning the SLS goes to extended mode... it's described in the w-shop manual:
Extended mode
The extended mode is automatically operated by the ECU and requires no input from the driver. Extended mode
operates when the chassis is grounded causing the rear wheels to spin. This information is generated by the ABS
function of the SLABS ECU.
When the ECU senses that the chassis is grounded and the vehicle speed is less than 6 mph (10 km/h), the ECU will
operate the compressor and energise the air control valves for 25 seconds to raise the rear of the vehicle. This
operates irrespective of the mode that the SLS system is in at that time. To inform the driver, the ORM warning lamp
will flash continuously at all times that the system is in extended mode.
The driver can exit the extended mode by depressing the ORM switch for not less than 0.5 seconds or by exceeding
8 mph (13 km/h).

IIRC, manual extended mode only works in low range.
If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

It's officially called "Off road mode" and the range is no factor, only the vehicle speed.

SupporterWhen the engines turned off, you can hear the expulsion of air from the compressor and the rear settles down a fraction. My understanding of this is that the SLABS for test purposes when starting will run the valves and compressor and take it back to the target levels.
As a case in point when the starter solenoid was stuffed, it settled down to the bump stops due to multiple non starts and turning off ignition constantly.

SupporterSuppose that is why I am so confused as to the problem. Had sort of expected a circuit that maybe went to a fuse but if it is simply the wiring back to the SLABS unit, there is not much there that can fail it would appear. Unlikely both SLABS units had the same problem that is uncommon and if it is straight wired back to the SLABS????

SubscriberPossible dumb reply. You are pushing in and holding in the ORH button?

First of all check if there is good earth on the switch's black wire cos if it isnt that's the problem

SupporterCertainly have been holding the button, found the longer it is held, the more swearing it produces, is this standard???? LOL
Will check the black wire and see if this works.
