IID tool... Tips, tricks, etc to get you home... | |
Been asked a couple of times now about how the IID tool can get you home if you have faulty height sensors and the car is on the floor on one or more corners...
This is for the BMW based 2002-2005 FF's, petrol or diesel, the later cars may or maynot be similar...
Very simple but maybe not in the most obvious place in the menu...
Service/test
RLM Suspension
Test Values
(you then have to acknowledge the warning)
You then get the option to Adjust All, front, rear, and the individual corners.
You can raise or lower whichever is needed and level the FF, the act of doing this locks out the EAS system so it will not move.
I drove mine for four days with it like that until the parts turned up, just remember it won't drop to motorway height at 65mph so will not be so stable at motorway speeds...
Replace sensors, clear all codes and the system should reset...
If anyone else has some get you home tips then please share.... Pete
