If there are no leaks why has the suspension dropped? None inflation usually means no air pressure. It has been said on other forums that disconnecting the battery for thirty minutes will reset the EAS ECU. But i have never tried this. If he tries this make sure he has his EKA code handy and knows how to apply it.
 
thanks wammers ,how do you apply the eka code ,and is this the 4 digit no that comes with the car ? cheers wammers .mozz
 
hi wammers , my mate has just told me that yesterday when he hooked trailer up he lowered susspenson on the car using switch on dash , down to meet the trailer height then car lowered and then stayed at lower level and then fault sign showed on dash and still there and susspendsion still at lower height ?????? cheers mozz
 
Engine running, close all doors, tailgate, make sure trailer unhitched, then use switch to raise height again; probably stuck in "memory" with trailer socket wired-up......had this before with mine!

Towing should be done with EAS locked in standard mode. Sounds like there is no air or a faulty sensor. You will have to clear fault before investigate what the problem is. Nothing will happen with EAS locked and message on dash.
 
hi wammers , hes tried taking battery off for 40 mins put back on and still showing fault 35 mph tried raising height and lowering but nothings happening ?????

Disconnecting the battery will not clear an EAS hard fault. It's either an EAS kicker from BBS or download the EAS unlock suite to clear the fault.
The suspension will not move until you clear the fault.
