EAS Puzzle

EAs faults, fancy that.

Back end has had an overnight air leak for a while, but usually pumps up within a few mins, I can live with that.

However since the sub-zero temperatures have started I got my first EAS Fault 35mph code.
Ran the EAS Fault finder and it comes up with "7 Vehicle has moved". Reset eas and it sometimes takes 30 mins for suspension to rise whilst software is running. If I unplug laptop and allow ECU to take over I get the Fault again, sometimes!

Comrpessor runs fine. I am suspecting that the airdyer is not doing its job and moisture in the system is freezing and only working once thawed.

Once the suspension is up you can drive around all day as long as laptop is connected and you can put it up or down no problem, from access to high in about 30 secs. Damn this cold weather.

Will re-post once airdryer turns up and is replaced. I may also get a 2nd hand EAS ECU in case that is at fault.

Land Rovers, you just can't beat 'em!

Leaky airbag = overworked compressor = compressor seal shagged. Vehicle has moved is a normal message, the 35mph message is because the thing is not coming up to height in time because of the leak and or the compressor being shagged. First step fix the bloody leak, you know it's there why ignore it?

and people rave when they have a suspension fault oh it's cost a fortune to fix the car ain't worth it! well if you had fixed it when it was a small fault it wouldn't have cost a fortune this time! rave over

got to agree here, why get the soapy water spay out( you have one prepared don't you?) and test the rear bags.

the fault msg is normal when plug in and unplug the cable as the ecu is doing a cycle each time. have you checked the connections to the eas ecu?

maybe moisture has go in there?


i wouldn't drive around with the laptop plugged in, if it happened to drop the eas when you were at speed it could make the car unstable!:doh::doh::doh:

Well, thanks for all of your friendly advice.
Yep i need to fix the leak.
Compressor seal is perfect as I checked it 2 days ago.
