Ride height adjustments (Discovery 3)

Special tool

Vehicle Body Height Measuring Device 204-557B

CAUTION: Check tie rod ends, suspension joints, hub bearings, wheel rims and tires for damage, wear and play.

CAUTION: Make sure there are no heavy objects in the vehicle.

CAUTION: Ride height measurements must be taken with the vehicle's weight fully transferred to the suspension.

CAUTION: With the engine running and the doors closed, make sure that the air suspension is operating and that the air suspension switch allows the vehicle to be raised or lowered.

CAUTION: Drive the vehicle on a level, flat surface.

CAUTION: Make sure the steering is in the straight-ahead position.

NOTE: This procedure must be performed after replacing the air suspension control module or height sensor link, or if the front or rear height sensor arms are removed or replaced. Height adjustment is not required if the front or rear air springs or shock absorbers are removed or replaced.

1. Using the approved Land Rover diagnostic system, perform the ride height adjustments.

2.

CAUTION: Make sure that the vehicle positioned for taking measurements remains stationary.

Place the vehicle on a level, flat surface.

3. Connect the IDS to the data channel connector.

• Connect the vehicle data link cable to the vehicle communication module.
• Connect the IDS USB cable to the vehicle's communication module.
• Connect the data link cable to the data link connector.
• Connect the IDS USB cable to the IDS USB port.

• Select the 'Setup' and 'Configuration' options (Configuration).
• Select the 'Air Suspension Height Calibration' option (Air suspension height calibration) and read all warnings and cautions.

NOTE: Do not install the special tool on the wheel lock nut.

NOTE: Make sure the special tool is installed at a right angle to the outer surface of the wheel rim and the measuring rod is vertical.

NOTE: Take the measurement from the top edge of the slider on the special tool.

Once the ride height measurement screen appears, use the special tool to measure and record the height setting value from the center of each wheel to the wheel arch.



7.

NOTE: IDS will then cause the vehicle's ride height to change.

Enter into IDS a set of altitude values based on measurements taken on the vehicle.

8. Using a special tool, repeat the measurements of the vehicle body height.

9. After successful air suspension calibration, turn off IDS and return to the original position.
