Thread: Llams and Air Up

There is also a hard reset (remove battery terminals and touch terminals together to remove residual charge in the computers - make sure you're connecting the cables, and nothings touching the battery!). Make sure to check the manual on how to properly disconnect and reconnect the battery.

This was used successfully after a water crossing where water had gotten into a sensor and caused the vehicle to lower on bumpstops (and effectively the chassis) on rocky ground, with no movement possible. It complely removed all the air from the airbags. After a hard reset, the fault was cleared and the car slowly rose to normal height again and was fine for the rest of the day. Getting rid of the fault that way (or clearing it with an OBD tool) would be my first option. Then I'd try Llams or an inflation kit, or some other method.

Cheers

I don't know if there are other consequences but if correct that would be another option for "self recovery" for certain types of issues.

Yes, I used Build Mode a lot when my compressor died. I used my compressor and jack to get the car up to the desired height, then stuck it in Build Mode with the IID Tool. Build Mode is a software way of disabling the EAS so it will not throw faults/self level etc. The only message you get on startup is "Suspension not in customer mode" with no recurring messages etc. Great for when you are waiting on parts to arrive, but still need to drive every day!
