Lowers w/ STAR and ECU Reset

Just picked up a 2010 E550. Going to hook it up to STAR since one side (passenger) always sits 1/2 inch lower, to reset everything along with the ECU. Figure while I am there wondering if anyone knows how to set the parameters with STAR to lower the W212 permanently?
Anyone know how to reset ECU at home without STAR?

Thanks for the help.

Just check to make sure the side that sits lower is not at rear of the car. Because that could be airmatic suspension leak if its at the rear of the car. Dealer will replace suspension airbag if that is the case, under warranty.

If it was a leak wouldn't the air bag leak overnight and the car would sit on bump stops?

Also car is not under warranty anymore. No biggy just trying ti figure it out.

It is a consistent 1/2" lower on the entire passenger side. And stays that way ALL the time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Guys

So you haven't lowered it yet and it's 1/2" lower on the right?

I refer lowering via a lowering module. Renntech V3 has worked great for me. Totally customizable

Correct. 100% stock and the passenger side sits about 1 inch lower than the driver side. Consistently in ALL modes alway same amount lower. Do you think recalabration? Thought you (yosheego) posted prior this happened to you and ECU reset fixed it but did not help my situation.

Well for some reason the factory air-suspension settings where lost/deleted? Weird had to get it recalibrated and re-set. Took a while but now I'm sitting lower and good to go. Thanks for the help.

On that note I did get a set of lowering links that I will not be using now due to system parameters being lowered. If anyone wants a set PM me with offer.

So was STAR able to lower the car permanently?
