It is not that. Thank you.

If you enter an “implausible” value it rejects it as “implausible”.

I have measured the height as per BMW’s recimmendations. But even allowing for any deviation there, it just does not work. If I enter -50. The car will raise by 50. That is not the issue. The issue is: it is so far out of range I cannot get it back to default.

The BMW documentation I have states: -

The "HEIGHT OFFSET" is adjusted using the DIS or MoDiC. The procedure is as follows:

• Place the vehicle on a level surface unloaded.

• Access the Height Offset program in the service function menu.

• Measure the base ride height from the lower edge of the wheel housing to the center of the wheel hub.

• Check measured height against the specifications listed.

• Use the DIS/MoDiC to correct the ride height if the value differs from the listed specification.


I know you don't have access to DIS/MoDIC but it's interesting that it uses "lower edge of wheel housing to the centre of the hub" as the measurement of interest... I'm assuming lower edge of wheel housing means the fender.

Following. Will be attempting this soon in INPA. Just soldered my cable pins. My compressor is not kicking on at all though. I believe I have at least one bad height sensor based on a previous scan report the shop recently did. I expect the EHC module should report this error code when I am finally able to connect.

I think my compressor may be burned out so I likely will be getting a rebuild kit. I was thinking of directly connecting power to it to see if it comes on (if necessary).

PITA
