I did a write up of ahc delete in this thread, there are better resources for deleting ahc than troubleshooting unfortunately Disabling the AHC and AVS systems, no warning lights. - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/disabling-the-ahc-and-avs-systems-no-warning-lights.1164357/page-18

Nope, I spent hours troubleshooting and ultimately deleted the ahc and put in billistien suspension. My ahc system was pretty rusty and not worth the money to replace components of. Basically what I deduced is that the system kicked into safe mode and was not sending current to the pump. I...

Yeah I’ve done a full suspension refresh on my e36 and it was about 100 times easier. I’ve found working on this Toyota to be much more challenging than any bmw I’ve worked on despite common misconception.

I think time to completion will depend on condition of the truck, experience level, and tools available. On a brand new truck with no rust and on a lift it could easily be done in a single day. In a truck with tons of rust where every bolt is a fight, it can prove to be a real pain in the ass...

I recently completed AHC Delete on my 2010 LX, and can help clarify a minimum viable configuration for successful deleting. This may vary depending on the desired height of lift, year of lx, and brand of suspension purchased. I personally went with a ~2" lift from a Bilstein Kit which is...

Good call I ended up cutting the top Mount off with a 9” metal sawzall blade. I was able to get the rusted bolts to the ahc line out with an easy out socket so that part wasn’t an issue. I’m 3/4 way done with the ahc delete, I’ll post a short write up on tools and parts I used when complete.

I’m in the midst of ahc delete and at the best part, the rear shock mounts. I cut down an offset wrench and am able to get it to grab nicely, unfortunately it appears the nut is just about completely seized. If I had it my way if change the forum name to ih8rust. My plan B is to cut off the...

I would agree if I had a newer, lower mileage, rust free rig, unfortunately mine is none of the above. For a fraction of the list price of an ahc pump I can have a proper suspension and never have to troubleshoot hydraulics & electronic gremlins again :)

Just ordered a Bilstein kit and some LC parts in preparation for deleting my AHC on my 2010 LX. I'll report back and to try to contribute towards a finalized conversion parts list.

Here’s a screenshot from earlier, apologies on the poor quality. I’m beginning to think the ecu isn’t sending the signal to the pump whatsoever but I don’t quite understand why. The fsm wasn’t particularly helpful on the u1117 code either, it basically said check for shorts.

It’s certainly too high right now with the suspension empty of fluid but I can’t set the level with it in low and that doesn’t really explain the initial failure.. and yes I am using a light from behind

yes, unfortunately

correct and correct, the code comes back immediately upon clearing the DTC, even in accessory mode. upon startup I am able to select a different height mode but the car gives the "Check 4WD AHC System" in under 1 second before the system changes height. I was able to put the car into low...

I'm having this same exact problem currently and I'm praying that this will be my fix.. funny thing is I've seen multiple youtube videos (mostly in Arabic) where they are tweaking these values after AHC work when getting this error, but I couldn't figure out exactly what they were doing until...

the highest I've seen in my current situation is 0.16, I'm guessing that may be the static number
