New Owner: Air Ride Issue

[Sabs1815]

Hey Guys,

New to the F15 Platform and X5 Forums here. I'm a long time BMW fan and have had many different BMWs over the years.

I recently purchased a 2015 X5 50i M Sport for Daily driving duties. Last night I attempted to code it with Bimmercode, I would not even attempt to do anything in Expert mode. With each coding the app triggered an ECU reset and with it came a bunch of errors (as to be expected) all of which would disappear after a few seconds.

After coding my BDC Module though my air ride dropped all the way down and will not come back up. I've driven it a few miles, let it idle, let it coast, shut it down locked it and unlocked it, got in the back seat, got in the trunk and then finally reverted all my coding back to the original backup files and did all the above again.

I'm thinking the issue may have started because when I was coding I was on some snow and the truck was not level, Can it be that during the ECU reset the default height changed?

I am going to try pulling the negative terminal on the battery and letting it sit for a minute.


Any other ideas on how to reset this? Does Bimmercode have an option that anyone knows of the reset the air ride?

So it's still down even after putting original files back?
It could just be a timing coincidence that your bag leaked out. They get cracks and leak out.

Yes, still down. That timing would be a crazy coincidence! Both bags at the same exact time? Can it be?

Ok I solved it!! Took my negative battery terminal off for about a minute. Put it back together started the truck it lifted right back up!
