Hi All,
I’m after some help with an EAS issue.
For the past few weeks my P38 has been sitting low on the OSF wheel. Starts, drives, able to raise lower suspension with no faults. I suspected a height sensor issue even though out of both front ones that corner is the newest. Also I keep getting a hard fault sometime (cleared with NANOCOM) with message relating to height sensor. Anyway, bought a replacement and is still causing problems.
After fitting, and when connecting my RSW EAS unlock tool (v2) to calibrate the new sensor, whilst it connects and has good transmit/receive signals, the calibration tool is totally unresponsive. The only way I can get the suspension to work is to go into the settings and manually alter them.
In this screen the OSF is low and the NSF high. The software allows me to drop NSF and raise OSF and the suspension moves accordingly. When I hit ‘get sensor height’ it resets itself back to low OSF and high NSF.
Putting in a very large value for the OSF and very low value for NSF in the calibration screen, writing these then sending the car to that setting has no effect whatsoever.
Things I have done/checked outside of the EAS software:

Things I have done/checked outside of the EAS software:
- The OBD2 plug under the dash was replaced not long back and works fine, evidenced by the perfect transmit/receive signal
- White multiplugs in passenger footwell checked and both are clean. No corrosion on any wires/connectors.
- Multipin connector on the EAS ECU under passenger seat checked and is clean. No corrosion whatsoever.
- Both 3-pin connectors to each front ride height sensor checked and all female connectors on both as clean as a whistle.
- Activated all solenoids/valves at the multiplug inside EAS box manually (pins 1-6 and 8) as mentioned on another thread and all solenoids returning a very strong click.
- Both front airbags and airline inlets drowned with soapy water and no leaks. Same with pipes into/out of valve block. Airbags were replaced by previous owner with Dunlop items not long before I bought her coming up 6 years ago. No perishing/cracks.
- Swapped new sensor from OSF to NSF and still same. I even tried swapping both original 'old' sensors but problem persists.
- Both 'old sensors' bench tested using ohms on DMM. All okay.
- Tried NANOCOM and that is showing that the OSF is significantly lower.
- Yesterday I took the car out for a short drive and on return it was sitting nice, although a little high on rear wheels. Did the same again this evening and it is back to looking like a drunken sailor.
- Compressor appears to be working fine (input and output) and is not running continually.
