ABC calibration

Hi,
I replaced the level sensor on the front of my car (2008 cl63) and now I can’t get it to calibrate.
I assume I have to do plunger, then level, then load adjustment.

the car starts to do a plunger and it goes up and down a couple of times before saying ‘unsuccessful’ and leaves the car stuck in the air. I have to exit software before I can bring car level again.

any help appreciated.

thanks

I had the same thing as you recently. The car was off, with the right front sitting low and Xentry would not successfully perform the calibration. I had to give up and take it to the dealer. They managed to calibrate it, but the right front is still sitting around 3mm low. I gave up and decided to live with it, as the struts are original, and they will have to be replaced sooner or later anyway, and the whole process will start over. I think the dealer managed to get it 'successfully' calibrated while sitting on an alignment rack.

Did you try to calibrate at home? What software did you use?

Was it locking you out? Communication error or voltages out of spec?

Each time I tried, Xentry told me that the action was unsuccessful, without any further information.

Hi, was this for plunger? Height/level? Or load adjustment?

thanks
