SDS Height Reset Glich
After replacing my tired, front Valve Block I was able to re calibrate the height settings on each wheel. So here's the problem;
After performing height calibration procedures, I shut the car off, ( and this only happens After you pull the key out not just shutdown) pull the key and on the next restart the front automatically pops up to almost max height and stays there. There are also no error codes
I've tried to overwrite the original settings after I'm done and it sits perfectly until I restart the car and I get the auto lift on startup and no; the console lift buttons are not lit up/ in use either
I'm running out of ideas. If anyone with SDS calibration reset knowledge has any advice, I'm all ears.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

What did you put in for the angle measurements? Have you tried the 'Move to Calibrated Position' to see what happens? Record the car level values (mm and voltage) and the strut plunger readings when it is at this elevated level and I will take a look at it. Also, what happens when you move the car slightly or use the height buttons? Does it return to a normal level?

I can adjust all four corners to height with calibration settings and it did accept angle measurement setting
Moving the car doesn't change anything and using the height buttons only slightly (5-10mm) relaxes the the front struts.
I just need to understand what causes it to lift after re inserting the key and override that. Everything else is good besides it popping up after re inserting the key and subsequent restart after turning off the car and pulling the key.
It has no error codes
