It could be that one of the heights was not stable VALID.

Ok So I'll try again with different values. While I was entering values for each corner it saved ok. At this point I just want the light gone.

Default Another go at it..

So I tried again, no dice, following the instructions as written. Any way I set it back to "55" and accepted all the defaults in the adaptation from channel 1-4 and channel 5 was available and changed the "0" to "1" and was able to saved the values, which got it out of limp mode and no DTC errors recorded. I'll revisit this when time permits.

Default Just to recap the Values -

Changed 0015510 to 0011110.

So if 1's will display 396 and 378 as stored values...
Am I'm measuring at 406 and 393..and enter these new values.. TEST AND SAVE..Does these values seem correct? It would seem like a big difference between stored values and measured values.

If it accepts those values it will go down 10 mm at the front and 15 mm at the back. That looks OK, but if it doesn't accept your values go first with something closer to 396/378.

I tried it again, got it to work the first time and decided hmmm maybe a little lower changed "22" to "12" on the coding values and damn.. It didn't complete the adaption and dash light back on.. Can't reset it to factory, maybe I've tried to many times so I've quit for today.

I'll try again tomorrow for "22" and leave it at that.

I think you are missing something. Check again those instructions, especially part on cheating. Bottom line is that if saved (target) value is 400, for example, and you type 402 she will go 2 mm down on that corner. So you kip doing it until she comes to the height you want.

Resetting it a factory value is just the same procedure as any other.
