    EAS issues, updated....

    hi all, i mentioned in a previous post my EAS was being uncooperative. I rebuilt the pump with the kit, rebuilt the valve block with the kit(drama with threaded plastic piece now fixed). put new o-rings in all the airbags...bought easunlock with a cable from ebay and proceeded to play. Mostly ok at start, but drama soon followed. I have gone from all working to now no response or very little fro car when plugged into computer and rear end will not pump up at all. I get the fault.7.vehicle has moved...i clear the fault, read no faults and yet nothing. If i go to read heights i get 123 123 109 109 every time even when car has moved well away and even when sitting on bump stops. if i make the pump work which it does on easunlock it will raise the front only. if i go to read heights page again, it says 123 123 109 109 still. now if i run the car and go through eas unlock i can go to heights and get an array of truer numbers..i swapped the rear sensors left to right previously and now i get 124 123 64 204. The last two are out of tolerance but i have no idea how to fix it. On the same page ..if i press up and down most corners react, front both up and down, rear i hear the solenoid click but no movement..if i hit down on the LHS it feels like the whole side lowers...I have no idea where to look now, still trying to find answers on google...any advice would be great, other than put springs in it...cheers

    Is your compressor running OK?

    Do you have a bypass switch ?

    Does it stay up overnight?

    Sounds as if you may have leaks still so you need to work out where and sort them out

    If I were you I would put things back to how they were and start logicically to find the issue. Vehicle has moved should be ignored. If you have a bypass kit step 1 make sure all the bags and air lines are airtight. Step 2 Using the info on Paulp38a`s website identify the solenoid for each corner and test. once you know each solenoid is working correctly and is attached to the correct corner and you can get each corner to rise and fall only then start playing with heights and swapping sensors.

    thanks Wayneg, yes i agree, i am going to put things back and try to retrace, i will try to find paulp38a as finding out each solenoid would be helpful.I have no bypass kit but have new bags coming hopefully and then i can try to check leaks properly. I can't seam to get air in the rears to check them at the moment but i will keep plodding on.

    Hi Steve, mate she sagged in the front before i replaced everything, now sits down in rear...all the way to bump stops now. I have no bypass switch but have removed the relay under passenger seat to self level and it still went down.I agree that i must have leaks but am having drama getting air to rear bags to tes them..im sure its the bags as i replaced all o-rings and sprayed a lot of soapy water.

    cheers

    Could be the non-return valves. They're notorious (for me anyway) at causing one end or the other to sag uniformily. Were they in good condition?

    But yes, as stated, I'd pull the delay timer with the car pumped up to a level height and see if it drops overnight. Which will involve fitting a manual inflation kit. At least then you'll know if it's valve block related or not.

    Those rear sensors do sound dodgy though. The swapped sensor readings should be in the same range as the originally positioned sensors. Can you get hold of a known good spare pair?

    Pauls website is here mate

    PaulP38A.com | Range Rovers and other Big Boy Toys

    Tough without a bypass or pressure gauge

    Plenty of soapy water and patience helps

    Good luck mate

    I had a similar issue and it turned out that the 2 orings for airlines had one side that was serrated, giving an imperfect seal and sending the suspension to the stops. I pulled them all out and replaced them with orings that are flat on both surfaces.

    Btw, manual inflation kit is worth it's weight in gold. ..
