Help - E55 airmatic problem

my E55 AMG with RENNtech ELM v2 installed got into an accident with only passenger side front and rear suspension damaged.

after the bodyshop bought a set of full suspension setup with control arms replaced with the damaged units on my car. i got a call from them saying after they replaced both front and rear damaged units. the front shocks are full of air raised all the way up and rear is just sitting on the wheels. error message "STOP. CAR TOO LOW" is shown.

bodyshop is thinking maybe its my renntech ELM is making this to happen. i jacked up the car and went under to check. seems like the front is bumping air into the shocks but the rear is not getting any air after checking the plastic hose located near the rear axle.

they said they will look at the car tomorrow again and see if they could find the problem but seems like they have no idea what they are supposed to look at.

is there any ways to reset the airmatic?
is it true that my renntech is the problem?

any inputs would be helpful.

thank you.

Check your height sensors and links. Sounds like they might not have them installed properly.

Connect the car to star das. You can run a test on all components of the airmatic system.

LOL

Toadster your a joker.

1. How old are you?
2. Do you actually own a real passenger car?
3. Is posting on forums a type of employment for you?

seriously - do you guys think that everyone has an MB tech in their personal garage? (or wherever you get stranded?)

I don't think this is an obtuse query - if the warning says 'too low, don't drive' then how do you move it?

Serioulsy, aftere seeing your picture, I realize you are a Trekkie. But how many questions do you really have to ask to own a goddamn car. Just go buy a fking E55 already. Glad to see I am not the only one here that is sick of you.

DAS will pay for itself in the end if you actually own an AMG, so count me in as a yes.

Anyway what about answering my questions before posting new ones

Dam right.......... FFS just buy one,,,,,,,,,, then you speak from your actual exsperiences using facts, rather than theory. How the hell did you rack up more than half the number of my posts in 1 month. I joined the forum 4 years ago

On the ground, so is it in the air? You have been watching too much Star Trek!

+1. Bet its a sensor. That is my tech secret trick. Bend the sensor the cars automatically lower more than you can with normal star das.

Sounds like a sensor is out of whack

I have also heard of sensors being put in the wrong way or upside down.
