Never Seen This Airmatic Problem Before (calibration)

Hi Guys. I have calibrated suspension on a few cars using star and launch systems. This time I am trying to do my 2011 E550 4Matic. After I calibrate, it accepts it. Problem is when I hit the raise button, the car goes up 3 times the stock height. It looks like an suv. If I dont hit the raise button, soon as I start driving it raises to suv levels again.

I've used a Launch x431 tablet (not for calibration) and it works well for codes, live data and certain actuations... but some functions just don't work as expected on the W212 . Now as far as Star, you need to be using Xentry and not DAS.

How are you performing the procedure? I've pulled it up in Xentry while doing other diag on my E550, but I haven't gone thru with it yet.

I no longer have star. I am using the launch x431. So you think its the launch that isn't playing nice with the w212?

I have an appointment at an indy for xentry. Even with xentry, when I am in the proper value range, the car sits higher then all the other stock E550 4matics
