Recalibrate airmatic question: Snap-on tool
Hey folks!
Car has been in storage over the winter but now that spring is around the corner I would like to get a few things figured out.
I replaced height control module on the drivers front with an oem part back in October. After replacing the part I lifted the car up and down a couple times just to make sure everything was working properly, I wanted to make sure I didnt blow an airbag when I was driving. I left it overnight and it did not loose any air. I ran my Icarsoft software to verify as well.
Now the issue: The side I replaced will not level out to the rest of the car. I did some reading and found out after that sensor is replaced the suspension needs to be recalibrated. Is this correct?
Now my Icarsoft only gives me the heights but wont let me recalibrate. My buddy/mechanic has the Snapon edge computer he uses for work. does anyone know if it will allow me to recalibrate the airmatic? If so is it straight forward or is there a diy for this.
Thanks guys
Also the car is at home on jackstands I wanted to take the weight off the suspension, tires ext. just a safety precautions as the car is not near me.
I will make a separate thread of the second issue I am having.
