EHC-II Modules
 
The module itself was around $700. I have all of the tools and SW, but a reliable local shop was able to install and program for $150 (I work two jobs and just didn't have the time).

The way to know for sure is have your local shop guy hook up and watch the voltage readings live while bouncing each corner. You will see the voltage range for normal deflection. What I would see is the LF was out of range (pegged) on the voltage (even after the new sensor was installed).

The ride height deviation error is a direct result. The measurement is out of range and I believe the entire system is shut down as a protection mechanism. Just imagine the pump continuing to inflate the one that is out... Boom.

After reading all the threads (the flat tire monitor is another dead give away) and all of my own work I resigned myself to the module change. That issue has not been seen since, that was 5 months ago.

Good luck on resolving your problems.

can someone walk me through the DIS menus??? I replaced my two front struts, but I noticed the car is "tilted" to the driver side.

Do you have inpa. It is much simpler with that. As far as dis, I haven't fired that shit up in over 2 years, so not sure myself lol.

'ere we go 'ere we go 'ere we go (again)
 
Hi all - I still have the 4.8is

In August was in France for 3 weeks (650 miles away) and due to return with a heavy load of kids luggage, roof box & 1.8 ton caravan.

SLS message appeared day before loading up for return journey. Hunch was it was an erroneous code so I tried to get our French friends (in an auto technics diagnostic shop) a mile away to erase it for the journey home.

They plugged up - Twits could not access it - they said BMW dealer only - derrrr!
Drove all the way back - by time I arrived home the NSR had dropped 15mm.

On return my local guy read the code (074 accumulator waiting).... car levelled itself and code has not reappeared. I realise that this was a compressor one - however with new 'ring' in the comp earlier in year the pressure on his diagnostic was 15bar - all good.
Was just 'one of those things'.....

OK... has anyone tried one of these
iCarsoft i910-II BMW and MINI Multi System Diagnostic tool
iCarsoft i910-II BMW and MINI Multi System Diagnostic tool - scantool-direct.co.uk

I read some blurb on it and it states that it can access & delete codes in the 'Chassis/suspension' area......

Any advice - apart from buy one and see?

Best

So it seems I may have caused more grief than anything.
A few weeks ago I was playing with INPA and ride height values with my left rear. I never saved anything (that I know of) and since then I've been having the low left rear air bag issue.
I thought I was having a slow leak in left rear airbag.
So I just installed my two new Arnott airbags (about 3 hours labor with the help of a friend when it came to bag clips and removal/install) and when I put the fuses back in and lowered the vehicle, the left rear is still low. in the same spot as before making me feel as tho I wasted time and money on this. OOPS. I guess the airbags should have a refresh anyhow.
I guess I didnt realize that my verion of INPA doesnt make ride height changes as soona s I press OK (when putting in different values to adjust height) but next time I startede the X5 it adjusted things. I never put two and two together till after the air bag replacement.

There's an ecu reset....it's combination of keyboard shift and F*......

I'll log-in on my INPA later and let you know.

jopecasa 02-17-2017 05:26 AM

Ok checked my INPA....

got to Chassis>>EHC2>>F7(Memory)....then Shift + F4 (Ecu Reset)

Hope this helps!

If you have DIS there is an air suspension diagnostic/calibration routine that will get you back to normal. Also I found it easier to change ride height using that routine
