Part number help on an 96 HSE

My Air Suspension must be made by Microsoft. It has to
go back and be 'rebooted' every month or so as it dumps
me in the 35MPH mode.

It has had new pump, valves, several sensors and a leg
but it still does it. The last time was on a Sunday
afternoon in North Wales just as I was setting off home
to Brighton. <sulk><sulk> I now have a manual bypass
system that I can blow up with compressed air.

Now if all the dealer does is reset the fault code and
then sit and scratch his ba^H^Hhead why can't I reset
the code?

I see the EAS computers going on Ebay for not much and
fettling embedded microcontrollers like that is my
business but which one is it? There seem to be lots. If
I had one it could come to bits on the bench and perhaps
gain a 'reset' button.

The only manual I have is one of the CD ones and it tells
me how to remove and replace things but it is a bit cagey
about part numbers for models and years. Looking at the
currently installed item might not help as I don't know
what the part number looks like.

Can anybody help me? I have a 1996 4.6 HSE and I'd rather
not take things apart until I know what I'm doing.

Nigel Hi,

All previous part numbers for the air suspension ECU have been superceded by
RQT100040

Older part numbers are ANR3773 (this must be on your vehicle) and ANR4499

Hope this helps

Take care

Magic!

I'll get the number from under the front end tonight
and start the hunt. It hardly seems worth getting a
new on to just pull it to bits.

many thanks
