Food for the "AHC is unreliable and it can get you stranded in the middle of nowhere" crowd, I guess.
I am in the middle of nowhere in Argentina and I am getting C1762 after trying to rise the vehicle to H. It almost got to the expected height, then aborted and dropped to N. After clearing the code, it made a screeching sound before throwing it again. After doing this a couple of times the Accumulator pressure dropped to 0.
I tried to crack the line between the pump and the attenuator sitting on the chassis rail, as per suggestion in another thread (AHC C1762 - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/ahc-c1762.635036/#post-8001027). Some fluid got out, this almost seemed to work, but then after trying to go to H it suddenly dropped all the way to L and the reservoir is full of fluid pretty much to the brim. Now clearing the error results in it coming back almost immediately and no more screeching noises. Cracking the accumulator bleeders results in almost no fluid coming out, not surprising being in L.
The active test with the diagnostic port in the front doesn't move it either.
The bleeder on the accumulator broke of ages ago, so can't use that. I had bled the system multiple times via only the globes and it was fine. I went through a pump replacement some months ago and could bleed it without touching it either. I have been thinking about cracking the line going into the accumulator next.
I raised the car to H 4 days ago to change the oil and there were no issues or noises.
Any help and advice would be appreciated. The 100 series seems to have never been sold in Argentina or Chile, dealers and mechanics are totally clueless and there are pretty much 0 spare parts available here. I had to wait almost a month to get a tie rod via DHL.
