Hi,
I'm posting on behalf of my dad.
He went out in the car today and everything was fine. Drove all the way to Leicester from Coventry and EAS fault flashed up while driving. Pulled over and turned the car off to try and reset the computer but it didn't work. The car refused to start under it's own power. Turning the key just gave symptoms of a flat battery and with a jump starter it was fine although there was still the EAS fault.
Drove off and after a while ABS fault appeared followed by 35MPH MAX appearing on the computer coupled with reduced power but managed to make it home. The car did not drop to the bumpstops.
When I got home and tried to turn it on there was only clicking and lots of faults on the screen(EAS, ABS, Traction - traction failure had not appeared until now) but with a jump start it starts fine but still with the 35MPH limit and EAS fault.
I removed the battery and took it to work to be tested. The test came back saying it needed to be recharged and retested (the tester read just over 11v). I have't been able to test the alternator yet.
I have moved some wires about on my OBDII reader cable so that it will read the EAS faults using EASunlock Suite (from RSWsolutions) on my laptop. However, something seems to be wrong as in the received column I keep getting 80 when it should be reading FF. The connection works as I can read the sensor heights etc but I cannot clear the faults that appear and I'm not even sure they are true faults because the 80 readings. We tried to start the car again but just got clicking so jumped it again. The car ran with the same faults but when we turned it off and tried to start it again straight away it didn't even turn over and the dash electrics faded and died in seconds.
Has anybody used this software before and know how to fix the readings or know another method to read and clear the suspension faults?
The pictures I have included show the readings I got. The first one shows the supposed fault codes.
The second picture shows the height sensor settings the computer seems to have stored for each height level (something seems wrong here as the settings for some of the sensors are the same for more than one level and low profile seems to be set higher than standard).
The third picture shows the current height sensor readings (our driveway slopes down on the drivers side).
