When transport mode is enabled it should drop to the bump stops so as you described that it was working OK on normal level means that something is wrong, i didnt even think about the transport mode protocol cos that's the only one which will make the warning to flash but as you said that the suspension works fine i though it's not the case
Transportation mode
Transportation mode must be used when the vehicle is transported on a trailer and secured by the chassis. The
transportation mode can only be enabled and disabled with TestBook.
The transportation mode lowers the rear suspension onto the bump stops with the engine not running. When the
suspension is in transportation mode, the SLS warning lamp is continuously illuminated when the ignition is in position
II.
When the engine is started in transportation mode, the SLS system will raise the rear suspension until a gap of 25
mm (1 in.) exists between the bump stop and the axle. The SLS warning lamp will flash continuously while the SLS
system is raising the suspension. When the gap between the bump stop and the axle is achieved, the warning lamp
will illuminate continuously

So if it was on normal level with transport mode enabled better recalibrate the sensors fast cos it might blow your bags or the compressor burn out if you see what i mean

Yep I see what you mean. Good thinking, doing that tonight with some spacer blocks for easy measuring.

I have the idea that the main problem was switching between the two diagnostic tools. We just purchased the Hawkeye and I was too eager to play with it.

I will calibrate again.
 
If the hawkeye is v.6 or more you can simply calibrate with it if you jack up the body to even level and prompt yes when it asks about calibration blocks...more reliable and simpler than nanocom in this area... also after you calibrated and it works set it to transport and if it doesnt drop to bump stops then better install that ECU you ordered cos then this ECU is missbehaveing and it might go mad in the future and blow your bags or compressor
 
Yes, it was that easy the first time we did it. It is indeed suspicious it didn't go down after turning off ignition.

As you say ECU is on the way. Would you trust it if it does all as it should?
 
I'd trust more one which does all as it should than one which is not :cool: ...i remember that once nanocom went mad on mine and enabled transport on it's own then i've got scared when it dropped all the way to the bump stops and had some stress untill i figured it out...at least i know that my ECU did what it was supposed to do:)
