Default SLS sensor supply low

Getting 5v from the left SLS sensor, .15 from the right. Any clues on what to look for? Things went from cold to wet in the last few days so I suspect that it's related. Got about 30 min to fix it though.

Sounds like you are ready for a new height sensor, lucky for you they are cheap and easy to replace.

With your hatred towards electronics, you shoulda bought a D1 and threw an RPI 5.2 in it, then lifted.

Don't do it! Stay with the SLS. I switched to coil springs and actually went back SLS because of the superior ride quality. Unless the whole system is shot, I suggest you stay with the SLS. Besides, the dealer will charge you $130 just to tell the computer you don't have SLS anymore. If you don't change the computer, you get the SLS beep consistently....it never goes off.

One more thing...if you do decide to switch, I'll give you $50 for the compressor!

Well, I've been looking at doing it for awhile. There are a few reasons.

Define "Superior", I find it too soft and swaying now and I'm looking to stiffen things up. I'm also going to mount 12" shortbody Bilstein 7100's with higher than normal rebound/compression damping settings in the spring.

I also want to be able to disconnect the rear swaybar and articulate with either retained or cones in place, the airbags wouldn't allow that either since they really don't like to be unkinked.

I do too much alone, miles away from help, to have this kind of thing fail on me randomly. I did find someone doing a manual override for air bag pressure you could fill using a normal compressor, but it still doesn't seal with the other issues.

I'm not fond of the Caddy-like ride, my favourite cars are all low and tight sportscars, Lotus Exige, MR2, and superbikes like my 900RR with reworked front and Ohlins Type-III in the back with a fair bit of spring preload. So, 'superior' is relative I guess.
