Instructions for disabling suspension system after steel conversion
I did some searching via Google and watched the Arnott video on the mechanical procedures. But I can't find instructions for how to permanently disable the air suspension system so I don't get lights on the dash. I'm surprised the Arnott video didn't cover that step but does tell you to put the wheels back on the car. LOL
I already have the steel spring conversion kit sitting in my garage from BLAU but looking to get familiar with what I'll be doing when I find time to tackle this project.
Thanks in advance!

I have no experience in it because I'm still riding on air, It seems that the right way is to look for the correct code that turn off the HCM because you can not unplug it without damaging the BAS communications channel.

Is using rosstech essentially the same thing as installing a EBM? I am looking at the suncore kit for $600 but does not include the EBM but if I can just use rosstech who needs the EBM.

I have a similar coil conversion kit (strutmaster) and I just unplugged the level control suspension module at the CD storage compartment (rear/left).
You do need to bridge a 12V wire in order to power your Xenon headlight auto-level control module.
Btw, if your rear springs are too much lower than the front like mine, try these donut coil spring spacer. $20 Works wonder!

You don't really need the EBM.
