Change access height only with IID BT tool?

As per title. I can do it on my old non BT on my TD6 but a YouTube video I saw this morning suggests that changing the height affects normal height and access at the same time.

Well that’s a bit crap isn’t it? Thought the BT tool was all singing all dancing!

It is not a fault of the tool it is the difference in how the EAS system is designed between the model years

I guess so. I think I automatically assumed the basics on the car were the same throughout.

Nope the EAS is very different and so are a few other bits and pieces the 2006 to 2010 ones are really a hybrid interms of systems between the BMW era and the Ford era.

The beauty of the Wabeco EAS is that each height setting has it how specific height in the system where as the later one the heights are basically relative from one master height.

I too was disappointed with this. I’d planned on lowering the access height quite a bit to assist with getting the kids and seats in and out. In reality it didn’t really matter much as the front doesn’t go down all that low, even when dropped to bump stops. The back goes very low though.

I thought you can set the 3 height modes on the BT by calibrating the normal height (185??) and setting the 3 heights in + steps and minus steps...? Be aware I'm not a tech at all.

Apparently not. One height setting only

@ Robert

Yes, if you up /down the normal height setting on later cars then it also adjusts the offroad and access heights accordingly .

I produce an add-on kit that uses a rotary switch to select low, off, medium raised or high raised with any height mode which makes it easy to go lower in access height. However its costly just for occasional use but if the need is pressing enough then maybe worthwhile. PM me for details if interested.
