Ahh but you will, grasshopper, you will!

We have some very nifty schnitt coming!

We try. Usually support through regular channels has been very good too. Don't know what will happen if the IIDTool/EASControl get to iPhone levels of popularity, though.

For Hawkeye do you not need the red or green cable (the one that doesn't come as standard) at an extra cost.

We have the red adaptor which will let us look at height sensor data, but we have never seen anything about suspension calibration on the bearmach hawkeye. But we may have missed something?

Hi Steve, we have the complete unlocked version of Hawkeye, but cannot find any menu that will let us calibrate the height sensors on a L322, if you know how to get the system to do this, can you let us know as this would be fantastic.

Many thanks,

Stephen

Hi Stephen,
I have to admit that I've never actually used a Hawkeye. I was going by the official Bearmach literature ( http://www.mailorder4x4.com/acatalog/Hawkeye_Mod.pdf ) which lists 'programming' as an option for the earlier L322. I am also positive that I've also been told by someone that the Hawkeye can do calibration. But I just took the time to look through the manual as well. I seems it can't do calibration. I wonder what they mean by 'programming' then.

Sorry if I've caused any confusion.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your reply, i will recheck the meu structure when i am using it today - just in case it is there. Suspension calibration is definetly something we would love to see on the Hawkeye.

Have a great weekend,

Stephen

Am I being smug? - since buying my IDTool I have messed around with the suspension heights to my hearts content - yes, I am being smug because initially I paid for 1 dealer adjustment and it cost me £120  Geoff

My 04 TD6 is running about 30mm lower on the rear than the front (which seems to be correct running height) - I'm playing catchup on posts to try to learn about all this, but am I correct in thinking that the cheapest way of proceeding is to recalibrate the suspension height which can be mot cost effectively achieved by the GAP IIDTool..?
many thanks

If you only have a height sensor down and the lights are still functioning then you only need to replace it and it should work without calibrating

The original poster stated he needed a new height sensor, so thats what i was answering:thumbsup:

Craig - this thread is from February 1 1/2 years ago.

James, Craig is referring to the height position lights in the console.

Actually, this is not completely true. There are numerous issues that you can end up with if you replace a sensor w/o a calibration.

Height sensors are simple potentiometers and in a best case the new sensor will match the old one closely enough so that everything works properly, But this is hit or miss - which is why the official LR procedure is to do a calibration after a height sensor replacement.

Yes, the EAS will function after a sensor replacemnt - you can always be parked with one wheel on a curb or whatever, so the EAS can not throw a fault immediately even if new and old values do not coincide.

But if the values between the old and new sensor do not coincide, 2 of the more likely scenarios are: that l
- if the values are close, the EAS will continually try to adjust the height to bring everything back in line - resulting in premature compressor wear
- if the values are further out, sooner or later the EAS will throw a 'height plausibility' fault

A calibration is a worthwhile investment.
