S212 rear strut not rising

[Conor]

Hey guys,

So I noticed the left rear of my wagon was sitting low this evening. After driving it around for a while, it won't rise up and no warnings/codes etc.

I thought the level sensor might be misaligned and was going to check in the morning.. however, I can see on the diag that the car knows it's low down, and doesn't seem to be doing anything to compensate.. or even attempt to. I would expect it to to at least try and pump up that bag and fail, thus throwing an error, due to perhaps a faulty compressor or air spring, but no.

What do you guys reckon?

I'll break out the bigger brother STAR/XENTRY tomorrow and see what tests it has on there.

Cheers

Right..

So I plugged in STAR..twiddled a few knobs and it seems to be level again.

I must go back and measure all and calibrate and check level sensors soon.

EDIT. I did see an error for open circuit 30 that wasn't on icarsoft. I cleared that.

Hi Conor...You seem pretty clued up...have a read of my problem to see if you can advise... Ta Eddie:

Airmatic failure stop immediately message

I spoke too soon, lol. Looks to be a little down on that side again.

I will need to do some more thorough investigation.
