Reset height level sensor - with scanner
2010 E63 123k miles
I recently replaced the right rear hub and had the car hanging on the lift for about 4-5 days. After doing the job and driving the car around, the rear is sagging. Almost like the air compressor isn't working. (I've had the compressor replaced about a year ago. I tested it and it's working).
I did some research, and learned that I should be able to set ride height levels using my scanner. However, after digging thru all the menu's and features of the scanner, I can't find the area where I'm supposed to set the levels.
The scanner I have is a Foxwell NT510 Elite preloaded with the Mercedes data.
I came across this video of someone doing exactly what I wanted to do. However, they are using a different brand/type of scanner.
So, my 2 part questions is;
Can the Foxwell do what I want to do and if so, how do I do it?

No codes ECU? Or no codes all modules?
I still think there is just something wrong with the ride level sensor (like the arm snapped off). Or something along those lines.
Can you bidirectionally control the compressor? Does the system itself seem to work?
Maybe a member can tell you what the ride height reported value is and compare to yours. I could check mine, for example.

I'm going to lift the car again and put eyeballs on the ride level sensors. Hoping there is something there I can see and then fix if needed.
The current values are -78 on the left and positive 51 on the right.
It was the right hand side that I was working on when I replaced the wheel bearing. So maybe I "hit" something during this process.

I had to bend my ride height sensor out of the way to change the rear air bags and same thing my rear wheels are lower then the front even though I can hear my compressor working. Do I need to reposition the ride height sensor appropriately or does it need to be calibrated?
