In it's simplest form, the actuator is essentially two different valves, one soft and one hard damping, with a stepped spool valve that shifts how much of each valve is used for the hydraulic path. So soft is spool valve shifted to only use the soft valve, hard is the spool valve shifted to only allow fluid through the hard dampening valve, and medium is the spool valve to allow the fluid to split between the two valves. There are 16 steps total between full hard and full soft.Stupid AHC question of the day:
The ride comfort selector is an electronic baffling system (or sorts), that switches between different sized chambers, correct? Does that particular chamber remain selected once you shut off the rig?
Use case: when camping in RTT and switching to Sport mode before you shut off the rig - would this give you more stability when moving around up there vs having it in Comfort mode when you shut off?
So the problem with your theory is the damping steps are constantly changing. Changing the AVS switch changes the "scheme" of the spool value settings, but they are almost always changing depending on speed and whether you are turning and possibly various other sensors. I've found that they usually fall to 8 (the middle) when you are in park. I believe this is the case regardless of how the AVS switch is set.
