The ongoing saga of the EAS.
I eventually got time to plug in the new cable and hook it up to the laptop.
Just to recap - EAS went into soft fault then hard fault. I replaced the block seals and the compressor seals and piston seals.
Here's what happened -
Plug in serial cable into laptop
turned ignition to key position 2
confirmed connection
the 5 centre console lights on constantly
(position indicators and that one to the right - the wheel with a line through it on a switch)
the car and lift arrow light under the speedo is on
35 mph only
EAS Fault
hit UNLOCK
Hit STOP
unplugged cable
switched off car
turned ignition back to 2 -
5 lights still on constantly
car and arrow light on constantly
no fault
read faults - nothing
function - pump on OK pump off OK
height sensor - sending signals
calibrate try to manually instruct car to adjust to Standard - clicking from solenoid - nothing else
same with other levels.
So - the pump switches off and on when I tell it to BUT when I try and tell it to come up to any height on the calibrate page I get solenoid clicks - something is not working.
disconnect the laptop - switch off the car and then start engine.
This time the access indicator ride height comes on flashing with the car and lift arrow light, back lifts slightly, front not at all. attempt to set height to standard - nothing lights and switch don't respond.
Any ideas?
seems to me that for some reason the pump isn't coming on when solenoids are opened.
