4.8is Ride Height Calibration

I am about to give up on INPA installed DIS last night on my Surface hoping that will work.

This sucks.

What DIS install did you follow? Does it run OK? I'm looking for a decent DIS walk-through...

I used a combination of the software included with my cable and a pre-made EasyDIS v44 UNIX VM I stumbled upon torrent. I'm loading it inside my Windows XP VM which has INPA 5.01 and EDIBAS 6.4.3 installed. I understand how it works now (I think) and finally have DIS talking to the Diagnostic Head. My EDIBAS/INPA install appears to be working now as well at the same time so it SHOULD work.

I may have the wrong cable though, which sucks because I only seen to be able to connect to the engine and trans modules even after soldering/bridging pins 7+8 on my cable.

I always used DIS on our 4.8is to calibrate the suspension. There is a whole diagnostic/calibration routine that tells you exactly what to do and when. I found it very easy to use. Just make sure you use the proper measurements mm/cm. I messed that up once and it maxed out the suspension... Looked goofy as hell all jacked up.

If using inpa? on >Calibration/Set Height you have to ignore the deviation figures.

What you have to do is get the truck 100% level.
Then measure from the ground to the fender center via the wheel center.
The difference between that measurement and the stated default is what you are need to correct, regardless of any "Deviation" numbers.

TIP: get a bit of paper & a pen and write down all four corner measurements BEFORE you start to enter them into the system. Ideally you only want to do this once.

With inpa: Make sure that you have cleared any errors prior to entering your numbers.

Engine on
Drivers door ONLY open.
Enter measurements
Close drivers door
Watch car re-calibrate.
Give it a few minutes to finish & settle.
Remove inpa etc.
Turn engine off, remove keys, lock car, wait 15 minutes.
Go back and check that the settings are still good by using the Manual dash switch, to raise and lower the car.

Do you enter the difference between measured values and default values or do you just enter exactly what you measured?

Finally got my INPA working and want to try to calibrate mine. I will follow these steps but I measure from the ground or bottom lip of the wheel?

I measured from the ground vertically up through the wheel centre to the arch.

Hope is working now the link, because i can't upload directly here a pic from my phone, so i have to upload it to this website.

Apologies. It’s the difference between the default and your measured height.
