Good find. I never bothered to remove the fuses just Jack up the car enough it disables.

It feels like the sensor for pressure or over pressure valve are at fault. Can you read pressure realtime?

Holy crap!

Success!

I finally got INPA working and going through the Dual Axle suspension settings I went into the "ACTIVATE" "CONTROLERMODES" then went "ALL OFF" and FINALLY the compressor stopped!

Now onto figuring out the rest of the stuff.

Edit: I'm sure I now need to reset height.

This is a really weird procedure with the offset measurements etc.

Any guidance appreciated!

The ride height currently recognised is ridiculous!

It's showing really high but the car is completely on it's belly.

Does anyone have knowledge of using INPA to set the correct suspension heights? I'm changing values without seeing corresponding changes in height.

do I need to write the changes to the EPROM or something?

I've made offset adjustments but not much has really changed? I think the left rear was the only one to move.

Edit: Also I don't understand how when I enter a negative offset to a height the difference between the ECU height and the new value doesn't equal the offset I entered?

For example let's look at the right front.

RF Old was 516
Deviation = -21
New Offset from ECU = 611?

Shouldn't the new offset be 495?

Ok I figured it all out and now all ride heights are within a couple mm max of spec (Front 707mm and Rear 709mm) and all corners are also within max 2mm of each other depending on how the car inflates or settles after the drive.

Ball ache now ended

Well done.... and I must say, you are doing a great job of keeping this thread running largely by yourself!

Seems like a lot of folk have issues with the active suspension that are "one offs" - scenarios unlike anyone else has experienced. Such fun!
