    LLAMS not working

    Howdy All

    I would normally call the distributor (Davis Performance Landies) on this one but it's after hours now and you guys are always up late answering these sort of problems!!!

    For some reason my LLAMS controller has stopped working. The suspension can be raised by the car's switch but nothing happens when using the LLAMS dial. The lights on the dial change colour indicating something is happening but the car stays the same height. I haven't taken the panels off to look at the cable connections, which is the next task but was wondering if there is some other trick I can do first.

    Where is your small red mode push button mounted? Has it been pressed?

    Scott, you have hit the nail on the head with this suggestion. Pressed the button, then dialled in a change and the car moved to the new height.

    I'm wondering how the button actually works then. It seems to be an on/off switch rather than what I thought was an "extend what ever mode your in to something a little more extreme" switch.

    Thanks for your help.

    It activates additional modes.
    There should have been instructions attached to the Llams control box, perhaps inside the lid.
    I copied them into a document that I keep in the car.
    Yours was probably in locked mode.

    RECOVERY mode (for ABS - fault - MED=>on road HIGH=> off-road)
    Enable: set LLAMS height switch to HIGH then press MODE switch.
    Disable: set LLAMS height switch to LOW.

    EXTRA LOW mode (LOW=> EXTRA LOW - 50mm)
    Enable: set LLAMS height switch to LOW then press MODE switch.
    Disable: set LLAMS height switch to MED.

    FADE-OUT mode (height fade-out for MED, HIGH & RECOVERY)
    Enable: set LLAMS height switch to MED then press MODE switch.
    Disable: set LLAMS height switch to LOW.

    LOCKED mode (prevent height changes. Module LED red / green)
    Enable: set LLAMS height switch to OFF, then press MODE switch.
    Disable: press MODE switch again or enable another special mode.

    Cheers,
    Scott

    The LED on the module would have been alternating red and green.

    I had the same problem. Had it installed for me at the same time as my DBS and EBC whilst all the panels were open. Everything worked brilliantly except Llams. The LED colours on the dial worked, but no movement, and thought I had a dud. Till I read about the extra modes, pressed the red button, and presto. The installer must have pressed it without realising, and something for other newbies like me to check first before running for help.
