New Accumulators and new rear struts not going into high or low (3 Viewers)

[madmac187]

Hi folks, replaced rear struts and all accumulators, wagon is driving like a dream. I have an issue though it is intermittent on going into high or low on the suspension. I know it’s most likely air in the system, is it a case of just keep bleeding air on the bleed screws?

Does it try to change height (blinking green light on the H-N-L dash display) or just stay solid green when you try to change?
I found the "off" button on mine was sticky and that caused issues when I first brought it home, I think the PO spilled a soda or something that made it's way into the switch. Cleaning the switch fix the solid green light when trying to select a different mode.

The system will not change height if it sees any door open or any of the ABS, ESB, etc lights are on.

If it's air above the pump, you can see it bubble in the reservoir by raising the hood and changing modes. If it's below the pump i think you will need to bleed from the pump and globe side.

Mine was too low when purchased, so I went through the bleed cycle multiple times and kept topping off the reservoir til it was all out. I didn't touch the rams to see if they can be bled, as I didn't want to create a leak in that spot.

If you have the reservoir fully filled and you've bled the system, you can try putting it in extra height mode by apply the brake, putting the system in L and pulling the transaxle lever to 4L, then put it in H. This should force it to go to extra height mode which adds about an inch above regular height and forces more fluid through the system.
