Calibrating Level Control: Notes
- Irreparable damage to control unit
- Damage to control unit
- Fault entries in the control unit
- Control unit programming/coding is aborted
- Malfunctions in the control unit, even during programming/coding
→ Switch off ignition before disconnecting the control unit.
→ Make sure that the power supply is not interrupted during programming/coding.
→ Connect the battery charger with at least > current 90 A to the vehicle battery
- Move ready-to-drive vehicle (full fuel tank with tyre repair kit or spare wheel and tools) onto the measuring platform ("floating").
- > VAS 6918 - Quick-clamping unit
must be fitted on the wheels.
- 2.1 Pull off wheel trim cover with > 9229/1 - puller hook .
- 2.2 Mounting surfaces for the quick-clamping holders on the wheels and the adapter surfaces must be clean and flat.
- 2.3 > VAS 6918 - Quick-clamping device (with the claws first) must be positioned in the center of the rim and tightened by turning the retainer (clockwise) in the rim.
- Connect PIWIS Tester to the vehicle, then start and switch on ignition.
- Apply the electric parking brake.
- Close the doors and tailgate.
Information
If faults are still present after erasing the fault memory, these must be corrected first.
- Erase the fault memory.
Using PIWIS Tester select Chassis control > Fault memory > Erase fault memory .
Information
If an implausible value is entered (actual value is not accepted by PIWIS Tester), the section Procedure: Measured actual value is not accepted should be observed.
- Height sensor calibration must be performed: Using PIWIS Tester, select Chassis control > Maintenance & repairs > Height sensor calibration.
- 7.1
Determine the actual value for the height of the vehicle body at the measuring points.
- 7.1.1 When determining the height of the vehicle body, the height is measured from the lower edge of the wing to the upper edge of the measured-value pickup, dimension X .
- 7.1.2
Then add the radius of the measured-value pickup 32.5 mm to this measured dimension X
.
Sample calculation:
Measured dimension X = 382 mm; measured-value pickup radius = 32.5 mm
X + measured-value pickup radius = vehicle body height
382 mm + 32.5 mm = 414.5 mm
- 7.2 Enter the determined values in FIWIS Tester.
- 7.1
Determine the actual value for the height of the vehicle body at the measuring points.
