The rebound position should be a minimum of 1/2” from where the rebound stops. Note: Highest height cannot be fully extended, as this will generate a rough ride and may damage the dampers. This small gap is also required to allow for a tolerance as the suspension height is controlled by the ECU. Without this small tolerance, the ECU may not achieve the highest height if the suspension is stopped before the ECU believes the highest vehicle height is reached. When the vehicle is at the rebound height that you determine, hold the program switch in for eight seconds. Both lights on the height selection switch should start blinking back and forth. This will indicate that the calibration height needs to be programmed into the ECU. STEP 5: Programming Calibration Height This calibration step teaches the relative suspension reaction to the IntelliRide system. Specifically this sets the internal tolerance bands and provides a relationship between the voltage that the ECU reads and the suspension height. Lower the height of each corner one inch by either using inflation valves at each corner or jack stands. When the vehicle is at the calibration height, hold the program switch for eight seconds, and then release. Both lights in the height selection switch should be on at the completion of programming. Turn off the vehicle’s ignition, and switch the service switch so that it is all black and not showing red. After the proper airlines are installed and the vehicle’s ignition is turned back on, the system will put the vehicle at standard ride height and pressurized the air tank. 8 OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM Once height programming has been completed, the system is ready for use. The height selection switch is how you will be able to select your height. The switch has two green lenses with arrows printed on them. This is the primary user interface of the air leveling system. If the switch is mounted correctly, pressing up will make the height go up and pressing down will make the height go down. When a height selection is made up or down, the lights will toggle fast during the height change. Corresponding lights will tell you which height you are at. *If the lights toggle slow or both of them blink slow, a fault has occurred, see the Trouble Shooting section for a more detailed description. The system has four modes of operation: Lowered Height - Indicated by a illuminated lower switch lens Ride Height (or standard height) - Indicated by no illuminated switch lenses Raised Height - Indicated by a illuminated upper switch lens Currently achieving Height - Indicated by both illuminated switch lenses flashing alternately. Lowered Height is designed to be used for show, or ease of ingress and egress from the vehicle. The vehicle should not be driven in this mode. Ride Height is designed to be the primary operating position of the vehicle. This mode allows maximum up and down travel of the suspension. A full air suspension can be set flat and level. This mode offers the best ride and handling. Raised Height is designed to allow maximum ground clearance. This mode offers slightly reduced ride and handling. Currently Achieving Height is designed to indicate when the system is actively trying to achieve your last mode change request. This will typically occur when vehicle has first been started and on driver selection. Notes: > Caution should be taken when vehicle is changing heights that the vehicle does not come in contact with any object or person during the height change. > Never have any part of your body under vehicle during height change. > Never lift a running vehicle by the frame without first disabling the system. MAINTENANCE Periodically check all parts for defects. Also check all filters to make sure they are clean and debris free. It is wise to check reservoir for water, which indicates the air dryer may need to be changed as the system may have a leak. 9 COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS What is the lifetime expectancy of the Firestone dryer? If there are no system leaks it should be for good for system life. What type of accuracy is available with our system? The height sensors that we use are capable of an accuracy of 0.67% of 1 degree. Our system with ECU programming is designed to work with 1/4 of a degree of accuracy. For comparison sake, a pneumatic leveling valve can have a dead band of approximately 3/8”. How do electronics help increase the life of the compressor? Mechanical valves waste air when the vehicle goes around corners or stops with a wheel in a hole or on a curb. The ECU recognizes these situations and responds accordingly, not allowing unnecessary air consumption. The situations when mechanical valves cause unnecessary compressor use can be approximately 15% of trip time. Are the valves environmentally protected? The valves are plated for corrosion protection. Are the connectors environmentally protected? Firestone uses connectors that have IP68 moisture protection. This means they can withstand 1/2-meter w...
