Calibration of Suspension leveling sensors

Hi,
Can the 4 sensors for 4 corners leveling be calibrated with INPA or Dis. Say from 0 position to +\- 15 degrees position and align with the voltages signals seen on DIS.

Thanks Ted

I've calibrated using INPA and DIS but I prefer INPA and I only have rear air ride. I imagine it would be the same for 4 corners though. Involves a tape measure and inputting your values. Not difficult at all.

I did it this last week (rear axle). Wasn't obvious to me using INPA, but was quite easy using DIS.

I think you mean 15 mm ... That's should be easy.

That's how I lowered my iS using DIS.

Hi,
Thanks for all the replies, I was more referring to the actual level sensor arm when at the straight position the voltages on dis should align to the center, as I look in the dis display for all 4 sensors, with arm as straight ( 0 position) the voltage position should be relative close to center position and very close to each other. I find they vary greatly, looking to see if they can be aligned

I've never played around with the sensor itself.
