    P38A 97 P38 Gems - EAS issue which seems to have expanded

    Thx for input guys - soldering the white connectors would be such an awkward bugger - got all the stuff to do it though - will check those and continue on EAS issues and return to it when I am closing things up. Looked for matrix - $100 US used / $ 135 - 240 US oem / $400 - 850 US original...

    P38A 97 P38 Gems - EAS issue which seems to have expanded

    Next progress and any more ideas while I have things open? Batt taken off charger - immediate voltage 13.21V - five hours later 13.16V Opened the two side / kick panels - left side / drivers - pristine clean looks like it just came out of factory even the foot rest once I loosened the bolts...

    P38A 97 P38 Gems - EAS issue which seems to have expanded

    Ok Batt on charger 1/2 hr 12.78V So doing some checks from other things that I have read before Can't check voltages - on charger - but the meter has a continuity tester that indicates by volume the "quality" on connectivity. Checked - delay relay connections - Pos 6 to Grnd - good / Pos 8 pwr...

    P38A 97 P38 Gems - EAS issue which seems to have expanded

    Well the battery in this is a big sealed unit - I'm told by the "everything battery" commercial supplier it is basically the same as is put in a "freightliner" The charger is a decent $200 multi batt type / 2A - 13A - engine start modes. Usually the charger can get anything operating in less...

    P38A 97 P38 Gems - EAS issue which seems to have expanded

    Batt was totally fine - so didnt test it in the rain. Couldn't tell you why one day it bleeds out over night - carry out the same process the next day and no following impacts. Probably not specifically material to the EAS etc repair. But will just make sure its fully charged as I progress...

    P38A 97 P38 Gems - EAS issue which seems to have expanded

    Well yes, there was some on and off minor drain, historically. But up until now I could leave it two months with out a starting issue. This EAS issue - on bumpers - has been on going a few months waiting on one thing or another. So I have not been running it that much other than stationary to...

    P38A 97 P38 Gems - EAS issue which seems to have expanded

    The battery was fully charged when I started the RSW sequence, ran engine to check it in process as well as after - the battery is rather new. The oddity was it drained down over night after I left it? So it was charged over night following and ran the subsequent program yesterday - so I will...

    P38A 97 P38 Gems - EAS issue which seems to have expanded

    "I'm back" border services apparently decided they didnt like the OBD cable so that was a 100 days to get the final RSW piece. '97 P38 Gems So fired up the RSW software and there are some other odd issues that never presented before. As for EAS indicated that RR / FR / FL height sensor...

    P38A EAS -prior minor issues then failure - no real accumulating indicators

    Steps - took out compressor - tore it back down & double checked. I had spring metal pair on inlet side backwards and pressure side was correct but was maybe not screwed down tight enough. Lesson in not doing things when to tired. Air pressure dramatic improvement. Ran it for 6 mins and only...

    P38A EAS -prior minor issues then failure - no real accumulating indicators

    Well - guess will pull compressor and see if I messed something in the rebuild. Re try that for results and then the block that was also rebuilt. When I did the block / did each solenoid one at a time to insure no confusion given information available at time. As well as the diaphragm -...

    I was sent wammers old post and am going to go back over the compressor rebuild - see if I messed up something. The bloc was also rebuilt with the X8 kit O ring and diaphragm replaced. With the amount of vehicles - complete - I have done in past I dont get how this is a challenge but will look...

    P38A EAS -prior minor issues then failure - no real accumulating indicators

    THx - yes - thats why I jumped @ relay 20 Rebuilt compressor - looked good but definitely not putting out 150psi maybe 40 - so I guess take out / strip down and see if something or I messed up. As for RSW / EAS just checking which lap top to commit or track down and buy the suggested options of...

    Thank you - I had ferreted around but had not come across this post - ran a copy of that and the RR EAS sheets. Will run copies later - makes it easier when at unit. Had tested compressor for the high temp fuse link etc all good and then tested output which was feable. So got the XR8 kit and...

    Thx, was taking a look at the RSW - will wade through options tonight - want something that answers the questions and just get to it - and I guess just wait on the mail - just a P38 (older rover thing) - nothing like amazon prime. I've seen the RSW youtube stuff as well. I just dont get how the...

    P38A '97 P38 4.0 GEMS - Best OBD readers and EAS software -

    Saw the Nano earlier - its a few $'s - does one add all the "add on's" unlock code options? Yes that was the issue with Faultmate - only one vehicle unless you add yearly license etc. Sorry, accustom to OBD readers for "domestic" vehicles but have never seen the Nano or Fault really at work...

    P38A EAS -prior minor issues then failure - no real accumulating indicators

    Yes, the bloc I assumed but just to remove a question mar - but was all very clean / wiring in great shape etc. Existing O rings etc werent hard or flattened. How much air / pressure should be coming from the compressor? Had tested for the thermal couple in compressor. The rebuild kit...

    P38A '97 P38 4.0 GEMS - Best OBD readers and EAS software -

    What is the EAS software people are referring to - the RSW? For OBD readers? - Faultmate? - only issue is that they are apparently good for the one vehicle. But I guess if it works the $ maybe worth the reduced aggravation of chasing the unknown Or is there something else?
