Default Rear air suspension

Hi guys,
I was hoping for some tips on where to start on my 2004 xj6 rear air suspension ride height.
The rear passenger ride height is "out of scope" to calibrate on SDD as its if I remember correctly at 455mm so the scanner won't allow me to bring into line with the rest of the car.

could this be the strut as i have manually lowered it to see if its still working, raised it with the scanner and this worked with out issue, but the problem im having is when it raises it to goes to the 455mm and is out of scope?!?!

I have read about "tricking" the ride height sensors into thinking there higher than they are so they automatically lower but cannot find any further information on this.

So if anyone has any experience with this sort of thing your advice would be very welcome.

Thanks as always
Mark

You’ll probably get better advice from this forum (which is for your car):

Good luck!
