Default Level Control -34 will not save adaptation

I just replaced my valve block to clear the 01773 error code for valve accumulator N311..now the car is still in jack mode with errors 01781 - extreme vehicle inclined, 01780 - givers for vehicle level and 01437 - rule situation not learned. I tried adaptation several times even after driving the car around a while but it will not save - asks for security code as soon as I try to enter ch 5; channels 1 to 4 vlaues saved fine.

What are the givers for vehicle level?

I also noticed from the measuring blocks - group 5 and Vehicle Level Deviation - group 10 show rear left reading to be way off?

Group 5
Front/Left 109; Front/Right 108; Rear/Left 144; Rear/Right 83

Group 10
Front/Left 0.0; Front/Right 4; Rear/Left 31; Rear/Right -33

Thanks in advance for any assistance!!

Security access number is 31564. Good for one pass. If you make mistake have to start all over again.

Yes I know...I would enter the security code and go thru channels 1-4 saving all the values but when I get to ch 5 it reverts back to security code and does not allow me to save by entering 1??

Does it accept all values (1 to 4) when you click Test?

Could be that it is timed out?

Generally that procedure is weird. It asks for the measured values and than it doesn't accept some of them, so you have to put something not measured in order to complete it. I did it few times and had to improvise with values in order to level the car.

I doubt it is a timeout issue..I tried it several times with the same values given and increasing/decreasing the numbers by 3 so it can just complete the process. No Luck!

No idea. Only thing I can do is to hook up VCDS and check those measuring values.

Here they are:

Group 5

F/L 105 F/R 105 R/L 108 R/R 108

GROUP 10

All of them pulsing from 0 to 2 mm.

I am not sure if we where measuring same values in group 10. If we where than it looks like that something is way off with your rear sensors.

Mishar thanks for your input!!...after you told me your readings I went and read the SSP again and noticed they mentioned that the level sensors were interchangeable amongst the wheels meaning the sensor arms would need to be at the same angles to read correctly...when I replaced the left rear sensor I did not install it back correctly and the arm was a 180 degree off causing all the adaptation issues and errors. I realized the arm angle was wrong when I compared it to the other arm! PROBLEM SOLVED...The issue for the past year was the valve block going bad which finally gave in..
