Xentry/StarDiagnosis Airmatic Levels

Parked in garage, raised car using the button function, lowered back down, let settle. Car for whatever reason is showing rear driver side strut being -25 to -30 below others yet in reality it is not, if anything there's a little more wheel gap. I would think if a level sensor was bad I'd have an active or stored code and do not. This is making the level calibration impossible on the car (goal was to lower down to acceptable "Green" range as far as I could.

Any advice on what I can try different? Is there a way to recalibrate or read how level the surface is you're parked on? Garage is pretty flat.

If there was any issues with the level sensor you would be getting codes for it. So, your car is leveled all around? You have no messages or codes? What exactly are looking for?

Sorry I was unclear. I have the Xentry system and was attempting to level calibrate and hopefully lower within acceptable “green” range. Left rear before I messed with anything was reading way low vs others although in reality it was at the same levels as other height wise. I looked at level sensor and bracket didn’t look bent (pic 1) but bent clockwise to test and it put it further out of range.

Any tips to get left-rear to show closer to in range so I can evenly adjust and lower via Xentry? Not convinced sensor is bad but could be it.

edit: second pic is attempt to bend bracket which actually threw it out of range worse. Thanks in advance.

It could be also the sensor value has drifted.
If you can swap between L and R of the rear, try it.
If you dont want to swap or mounting style are different between the 2, remove both from its mounting place and do full-UP and full-down and middle using your hand.
See if both sensors are showing the same range or not.

thank you! I’ll keep that in mind for next time. I bent bracket more to left and straightened it some. Actually looked at values while car was jacked up and did that until it looked right (for car being in air lol), lowered car back down and it gave me closer readings for the LR vs RR. Looks amazing now, hoping Airmatic doesn’t get angry and reset them all lol
