Hey all. After getting Techstream set up I wanted to figure out the status of my AHC system. It is a 2006 LC with 198k. Very well maintained, little to no rust. My only issue since getting it has been a somewhat *heavy* suspension. Driving with the shocks set to comfort the ride is pretty nice but even in comfort mode I get more road feel than I would think I should be getting. Anyway, I hooked the LC up to Techstream and these were the results:
Those tests were done going *up* from Low setting to High setting. I then went back down from High to Medium to see if that mattered and I got really high values after going from H to N. I waited a couple of minutes to see if the values would go down but they did not. I then went back to LOW and then back to NORMAL and the pressures then looked like the original settings in the first table above. (ie. 7.9 / 7.1 / 10.3)
I also observed the ACH fluid levels in the reservoir and from LOW to HIGH it seems to dip 7-8 bars.
Anyone have any recommendations on how to massage the AHC to get a better ride and lower the pressures?
Thanks!
