P38A Adjusting EAS heights using the free RSW software

Henry_b · Jun 17, 2020

Anyone got any wisdom to share before i torch the ****ing thing?

I've made the blocks to put in the body/axle...

When i drop her on to the blocks does it have to have the engine running?

Door open?

Should the values on the RSW software Values change when she is sat on the blocks?

The POS is sitting over at a stupid angle on the NS and it won't self level on that side..

It is really starting to **** me off.

Any wisdom?

Do i have to do a song and dance in front of it with my cock out?

Only used nanocom, but the ignition had to be on to connect to the ecu.
The values shouldn't change if it's not moving

Henry_b · Jun 17, 2020

Right..

So what do i input when the height blocks are inbetween the axle and body?

kermit_rr · Jun 17, 2020

can you see the live/current values? the front values should be same or one digit different max
I've not used blocks, just a tape measure, which means setting the rear values first, re-levelling, then setting the front values

Read the heights, then enter those height in the write panel and write back. You have to do that with blocks for each height. A measuring stick is easier IMO.

I does not matter what order you do them in weight transfer ensures when you adjust one corner it affects the others.

Door shut engine running or a charger to maintain the battery.
Command it to go to access height to drop it to the blocks go to the button which gives you the panel to read heights, click on read all write them down. Now enter those figure in the boxes in the lower panel for the height of blocks you are using and click Write. Repeat the procedure with blocks for each height. Much easier with a measuring stick.

Thanks Keith..

Glad if I helped, bear in mind if one corner is out of kilter, it may be a duff height sensor, corroded height sensor connector or a leak.
Did you read the faults first?

Yep i read the faults, none were found which is a plus!

It seems the entire NS is off kilter..

I've checked the Valveblock for leaks and the Airbags and all is good...

She'll sit for ages off kilter but it won't sag to the bumpstops..

I seem to remember she has always sat off to one side!

See how you go, if it stays level after re-entering the block heights all is good.

Is the ground level as well @Henry_b

Using a spirit level on the bonnet is a bit vague its not flat

Had a friend that restored an old buss and used a level to the signs on the back looked good till he stepped back, it was all on the **** his drive had a nice sideways slope

he had to start again using a tape from a body trim, looked good in the end

A level is only as level as the level it is levelled on.

Trying to find a 100% flat on the bus is quite a task
