LevelPro™ Ride Height Sensor Initial Calibrating Procedures

 

 

 

For systems with height sensors ONLY - 
If you do not have LevelPro™ height sensors, skip to page 12 to program the presets.

(If you are not using ride height sensors, you do not need to calibrate the ECU. ) 

 

 c characteristics of the ride height sensors 

 c” sensors.   

This calibration will only teach the main ECU the minimum / maximum values of the level sensors. 

It will not program the presets.

The goal is to “teach” the ECU the highest position AND the correct 

direction of travel of the ride height sensors.  

Calibrating height sensors for fully raised & lowered positions: 

Start by raising the vehicle to ride height. (About ½ way up.) 

 . 

 

The following steps are time sensitive.

Press and hold the Air Ride Logo Programming Button for 3 seconds. (Fig.1) This will 
illuminate the programming button and will activate the programming sequence. 

3

  Manually raise the suspension to full extension. This can be accomplished via the 

 ate buttons on the control panel.

 

NOTE:  The ECU must sense an upward movement after pressing the Logo button 
and reach full height within 10 seconds.

 

4

  Press preset # 3 and release (do not hold). (Fig.2) This will illuminate the #3 button and 

the ALL height indicator bars. 

5

  Immediately after the step above

,  lower the vehicle to its lowest height. 

6

  Press preset # 1 and release (do not hold). This will illuminate the #1 preset button and 

one height indicator bar at each corner. (Fig.3)

7

 .

8

  Raise and lower the vehicle to ensure each bar graph moves as it should.
