help - E55 airmatic problem
my E55 AMG with RENNtech ELM v2 installed got into an accident with only passenger side front and rear suspension damaged.
after the bodyshop bought a set of full suspension setup with control arms replaced with the damaged units on my car. i got a call from them saying after they replaced both front and rear damaged units. the front shocks are full of air raised all the way up and rear is just sitting on the wheels. error message "STOP. CAR TOO LOW" is shown.
bodyshop is thinking maybe its my renntech ELM is making this to happen. i jacked up the car and went under to check. seems like the front is bumping air into the shocks but the rear is not getting any air after checking the plastic hose located near the rear axle.
they said they will look at the car tomorrow again and see if they could find the problem but seems like they have no idea what they are supposed to look at.
is there any ways to reset the airmatic?
is it true that my renntech is the problem?
any inputs would be helpful.
thank you.

i would remove whatever settings you have back to stock on the V2. Then go from there. Need to be at stock setting to get a base look at how the car is sitting. Once its good to go, then you go and change to how low you want it.

You have a punctured air strut from the accident and it should be covered. This is an ok place to post as there are MANY E series with the same system and problems and there are more of them than they are AMG's .

The op stated that the struts were changed and that the body shop thought that the Renntech ELM might be causing the problem. Seemed logical to steer him to the AMG forum where cars have that installed.

check you rear suspension link, make sure it pointed up. If it does not work still you might have a broken modules ( the module attached to the link ). The lever on that modules cannot ever be spin more than 1 full turn.
