    C7 S6 Air Suspension Calibration with OBD11

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Was anybody able to successfully perform Air Suspension Calibration with OBD11 on C7 S6? If so, can you please share detailed procedure (again for OBD11)? Instructions I found are confusing (telling not to do something and then doing it for example). And in many comments on you tube people say that it did not work for them.

    Yep... done it several times with OBD11. Works great.

    Go to the Ross-Tech site. Find the instructions on Calibrating the Air Suspension and go! Takes about 15 minutes and couldn't be easier. Just follow the instructions line by line!!!

    And before you get on the "I'm using OBD11, not VCDS!" horse... the only difference between the two is how is accesses the modules i.e. Go! instead of Press and Hold. The modules and entries are all the same. Promise!

    Cheers,

    Thank you for procedure confirmation and building confidence. Yes, it was easy when following Instructions.

    Why do you want to calibrate AAS?

    Trouble codes:
    C104807 - Level control system sensor mechanical malfunction
    Intermittent
    After quick inspection did not show anything I recalibrated. New calibration showed that some position adjustments were required.

    Calibrating suspension isn't going to fix that code. You need to replace the level sensor.

    It would be logical but trouble code did not specified which level sensor. So far drove 250 miles after re-calibration and code did not come back.

    Depends. I had sensor fault codes after installing some lowering links. Looked and found that it pushed the lower limit of the calibration. Performed the calibration and **POOF** no more fault.

    So I would always suggest performing a calibration before changing sensors, unless you are getting obvious faulty readings. It only takes a few minutes and costs nothing!

    Might save you some $$ and work! That's always a good thing!!

    Cheers,
