Cant drop my E55!!! please help!!!

Hi Guys my name is Jason i recently read in this forum that you could drop the air suspension on an 2003 W211 E55, i have an autoboss sytem (spx) v-30 and the lay out is exactly the same a the star program.

The problem is my rear axel sensor never brings up a value, and the front two struts never get to the right voltage level, and the vehicle never actually accepts the settings that i have put in plus the left side of the vehicle always goes lower than the right side.

does any one know what i am doing wrong??? cause i am completley out of ideas............

i hope some one can help

Thanks.....

W211 E55 foruma in the DIY has the steps for the lowering. Some people skip a step and it wont lower or resets later to stock.

The car does go lower but the left and the right do down @ different levels and i can get a reading for the back axel sensor. and even if i get it to the right heights and enter the inclination angles once i configure the settings it doesnt keep the settings.

im not skipping a step either, im using that DIY manual from the forum and it nothing the car still fights me.

im only doing it for its own good you know the pursuit of hotness!!
