Ride level deviation fault

Hi Guys
Well I sorted one issue out by replacing the solenoid unit under the car, thanks to those who gave me advice to where it was located.

I also have a ride level deviation issue, I understand the deviation is in relation to the recommended height setting and I have the rear axle at 0 on both wheels. I have managed to get the front right to 0 but the front left throws up some weird figures like -1954 which brings up a fault. I managed to adjust the height and got it to -4 but after a run it went to -10. That is still ok so not touching it at the moment

Question
Does anyone know why I would get a large negative figure and what may cause it?
I have replaced the level sensors on both front wheels and the regulating rod on one. Could it be the regulating rod on that wheel that could be stiff ?

Thanks

Are all your ride height sensors in the correct position?

As always I forget who originally posted these pics...

Yes they are correct but the one on the other wheel was broken so I replaced it, but I did notice it was very stiff as well

I have seen this picture posted before and that was the first thing I checked

I can't remember the height numbers when on level ground but it seems like it was 247mm or so... (l know that's wrong but hopefully Andrew will post the correction). EOD guys do math as in plenty plus more equals enough explosives or the safety formula of sure that looks like enough time fuze....

When playing with height values in inpa, the required height is displayed on screen. So I never bother remembering.

Anyway, what valve did you replace? Fill us in on what you did so that other can follow. Ty.

Yea detach sensor, and see if you can spin the shaft around. You maybe rolled over to wrong side.

Lol... they're mine...

RE the excessive value, I had this with mine. The way I got around it was to go through a series of ride height resets bit by bit with INPA where I adjusted the value on only that wheel to get it back within range.

I then reset the module with ISTA and set the ride heights and all was peachy...

Thanks LVR you might as well keep that statement on your clipboard as I'll forget or screw it up again in the future.
