Active Damper System (ADS) Struts Bypass
- When converting ADS struts to regular struts (usually much cheaper), place 2ā¦ 10W resistor inside each connector for ADS front struts to bypass the now missing electrical damper part.
- Fixes the ā7-9 active damper control unit internal circuit malfunctionā code in the ADS unit and light on a dash (e.g. 2010 MDX)

Air Suspension
- C2212 ECU in Plant Mode
- System is in in-plant mode. Use a scan tool to perform āFill From Reservoir Routineā. Choose any one shock to fill. This should take it out of the in-plant mode.
- Clear the C2212-00 code. Now the air suspension should raise the vehicle after the engine is started. Keep all doors and lift gate closed.

Suspension Level Calibration Procedure
- Note:Ā You need to have +-3mm precisionĀ (use a metric ruler).
- If it will not go through calibration due to measurements errors, computer will store C1A00-control module fault and will be there until you go through calibration successfully.
- Make sure that there are no codes stored in Ride Leveling Module.
- Set a hight level to a ānormal modeā (middle indicator ON, others OFF)
- Start a vehicle for 5 mins to make sure that air pump will pressurize the system to the required level.
- Enter calibration through āService Functionsā.
- Once procedure has been started, it has to be completed since it clears old values from the computerās memory.
- Computer will try to set a vehicle to specific height. Wait for 1-2 mins for it to complete.
- Enter measurements in mm from the center of the wheelĀ to a fender arc
- After 4 measurements has been entered, car will randomly change its height for you to take a second set of measurements.
- After this step has been passed successfully, calibration should be complete.
