Thread: Another very informative and essential topic

Yes I know my name change topic was one of the best reads on here in a while, but here is another equally as important topic from the new and improved Pete38 ha ha.

I have a Nanacom Evo and unfortunately a while back the screen got smashed in the glovebox. So while I could read what was on the screen, the touch part didn't work so it was effectively useless.

Got it fixed by Nanocom themselves as its hard to source the screens apart from buying like 50 of them from China at a very reasonable price.

So of my unit went to get repaired at Nanocom with a fair cost in postage.

Worked like a beauty when I got it back though and the service was prompt and professional.

But on second use, to lower the access mode for my mum who is a little height challenged and struggled with the 32 inch tyres extra lift, the Nanocom didn't power on.

Lets just say, there were a few swear and curse words, assuming the worst and having to send the unit back at a fair cost....

Usually I'm the kind of person who assumes the best rather than the worst.

Plugged the Nanocom into a USB port on my computer and it powered up. Yippee. Looks positive.

Plugged it in the car and no power. Thought, lets give it power using the usb charger in my car. Powered up. Yippee. But no communication with the car. Damn. So started to think it's not just a power problem on the OBD port as there is still communication problems, so unlikely the fuse I only just recently realised existied.

Turns out it was the 5A fuse, number 33 in the engine bay, and replacement means I can now use my Nanocom again in case of emergencies, like my mum winging its hard to get in without any handles to grab easily.

But one question to everyone is how low do you reckon access mode can go? I'm limited by settings of 50 in the front and 52 in the rear... or there abouts. But there must be more limitations as I had errors when the numbers were above those above. Must be some other limitations other than each corner being restricted by some value, maybe relative values I'm not sure.

At the moment it's sitting on the bump stops on the lowest values I can put in, but let the air out and all corners will drop further (compress the bump stops further). The gen 3 bags are pretty much folded right over though. I don't always leave the car in access mode, but sometimes I might for overnight periods. Don't wanna damage the bump stops or the bags from leaving it too low for too long.

Not sure if you've seen this document. Expected Height Sensor Bit Counts. Maybe you are getting one of the sensors just out of range?

gary - managed to open from the computer - rather than the phone. Yeah - they're the maximum ranges for the sensors that I've been aware of during numerous re-calibrations. The Richard Storey Wilson info provides the range information.
