Suspension calibration

Head scratcher... I've just had new suspension arms fitted front and rear and just today had it 4 wheel aligned.

Rear is too high in normal ride height so using guided calibration I have taken to 488 rear and 466 front.

However when I try to apply settings I get operation failed error E 0?

Any ideas before I torch the car!

Thanks

SP Mods so far:

New wheel winch
Instrument upgrade (clock on dash)
D4 fascia + Garmin nuvi
LED side light, interior etc
New FL2 rear wheel arch seals

Check there aren't any fault codes logged before you start the calibration. yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

Already cleared... I've just contacted Patrick at Gap... and suspect fault with one of rear height sensors.. Will update when sorted.

It was the usual Christmas tree lights following the new suspension arms being fitted... the steering angle sensor would also have caused this due to misalignment.

There are currently no other faults showing and no warning lights.

I've just ordered a new height sensor to see if that is the issue... I suspect it is... fingers crossed. Mods so far:

You need the specific fault code that's relative as each corner has different sensor. yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

Had same issue last time I calibrated mine.
Contacted Patrick and sent him a log from iid but nothing out of ordinary


I kept trying and it eventually accepted new settings

Patrick is on the case... he also mentioned about chance of sensor arm being on backwards? Anyone had this? And how is this possible? Mods so far:

This morning I had another look at the issue and decided to make smaller incremental changes to the ride height using the iid and it has worked faultlessly.


I suspect the changes in rear ride height were too great to complete in one stage and this was causing the error? Not sure... anyway glad to say it's now resolved.

485 rear and 466 front.

Thanks
