Dynamic seat troubleshooting....
I have seen a couple posts for troubleshooting dynamic seats. Most are manual methods.
If one has the STAR software is there a way to perform diagnostics on the dynamic seats?
My Dynamic seat lights and controls blink and make clicking sounds when I push them, but nothing happens. This sounds similar to

Just wondering if one has the STAR software if this would simplify the investigation? If so where would one navigate to in the SW to do this?

PM Plutoe he is a DAS Xentry lover who could tell you where it would be. Or wait for him to respond.

AMGAffalterbach - Thx. Will do.
efiftyfizzle - yes both seats behave the same. light will come on, solenoid / valve clicks, but nothing happens.
Via the STAR software I have a code stored stating that pressure cannot be built up possible leak. I am just wondering if the STAR software has a diag routine to help investigate these troubles (i.e. trying to fill each bladder one at a time on each seat to help detect where the leak is). I assume I have a major leak if it cannot even build pressure in the resiviour, but once I fix that I wondering what I can do to see if that was the only problem.
