Thread: EAS unlock software knowledge?

By the way Paul, thanks for that very helpful tutorial on the whole process, made the rebuild a lot less daunting. Most of my o rings seemed in good condition and certainly not brittle so I do not know if this will remedy the EAS problem. If nothing else I will know to look elsewhere.
Before I ran the EAS unlock to depressurise last night I ran the faults again and only came up with "7 vehicle moved" and a number 128 in the second box, any ideas?

installed the valve block this morning and fired up the car. No faults came up but nor did anything else for some time.
After about 10 minutes the drivers side front and rear rose dramatically, ( about high setting or higher) the passengers side remained at about access height.Checked height sensor readings and as expected 150+ on the drivers side and 70-80 on the passengers side (readings from unlock software not actual heights).
Check callibration and adjusted all setting as follows
High Front 154, Rear 135
Stand Front 130 Rear 114
hwy Front 114 Rear 100
Access Front 80 Rear 68
After setting and going to various heights selection there was very little movement when going from one to the other.
Ran faults again and came up with nothing...no errors.

Have I missed something or does this mean I failed the valve rebuild test.

Are you sure all airlines are in their correct holes.
Got my front ones crossed up once and got a result like yours.

Yes double checked that all. Could something stuffed up in the valve block cause this. Cars pumps up ok albeit slowly but standard height is all over the place and doesnt seem to react to changing of setting in the callibration, Tried changing standard height settings to no effect ...whats the story with this??

Hi Peter - it is quite likely that you have accidentally swapped the solenoids around.
From an empty tank and on bump stops, the EAS should take around 5-7 minutes to lift the car to standard height. The rear lifts partially first, then the front.
If yours is lifting the drivers side only, chances are that the top two solenoids for the air springs are swapped, i.e. rather than forcing air to Rear Left it is going to Front Right.
The reason it lifts so high is that it is trying to get the Rear Left height sensor to the target height.

Easy mistake to make, having done it myself also

Cheers, Paul.

Thanks Paul,
If that is the case then the solenoids were in the wrong spot from when we bought the car and we numbered everything as suggested before stripping down and all is where it was. I will do the swap over and see what happens. at least I can do it without pulling everything out again

Hi Paul, hope you can confirm for me that there is not suppose to be a square type rubber seal at the bottom of the solenoid covers. I noted a square groove that could house a seal but dont have any on mine and there wasnt any in the packet of O rings sent.
Just wanting to make sure I have all the pieces and not missing something

Tried swapping the solenoids around and tested it resulting in the drivers front and back pumped up so looks like the solenoids were in the right place the first time round. Will replace as original and try again
