SYSTEM COMPONENTS (cont.) Height Sensors The height sensor connections must go to their corresponding corners for proper sensor operation. THE HEIGHT SENSORS AND THE WIRE HARNESS CONNECTIONS ARE LOCA TION AND POSITION SENSITIVE . The sensor connectors are laid out so they work with the sensors mounted on the outside of the frame rail, with the arms[...]

SYSTEM COMPONENTS (cont.) Air Dryer Select a location to mount the air dryer . This should be a protected location to prevent damage from flying rocks or debris and close to the valve block.

Attach the bracket and height sensor template to the sensor using the mac[...]

6 HEIGHT SENSOR INSTALLATION (cont.) Step 4 T o install the height control sensor , refer to Figure 4a, 4b and 5, to become familiar with the mounting geometry and hardware. Be sure that the area above and below the sensor location on the axle is clear of obstructions for the arm to move. Step 5 T ake the sensor under the vehicle and find a locatio[...]

HEIGHT SENSOR INSTALLATION (cont.) Step 6 Once the sensor positions have been found, mark the locations of the mounting holes on the vehicle frame using the holes in the height sensor bracket as a template, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5. Use a center punch to mark the center of the holes on the mounting surface. Before drilling the holes make sure[...]

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS What is the lifetime expectancy of the Firestone dryer? If there are no system leaks it should be for good for system life. What type of accuracy is available with our system? The height sensors that we use are capable of an accuracy of 0.67% of 1 degree. Our system with ECU programming is designed to work with 1/4 of a deg[...]

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS ( cont. ) In the WR8-760-2230 system, which port from valve block goes to & from the dryer? Each port on the valve block is labeled for the designated connector . Using the air line tubing, measure the distance from each port of the dryer back to the valve block. The air line tubing should be routed from the I.D. (inflo[...]

TROUBLESHOOTING The height change works, but the WR8-760-2230 system will not level. The left-rear corner is exhausted fully . The LED height display shows the current he ight . The right-front valve is switched with the left-rear valve. Correct the air line connection with the corresponding air spring location and the solenoid valve connection. Th[...]

TROUBLESHOOTING ( cont. ) The diagnostic lights on the WR8-760-2230 aftermarket IntelliRide system toggle fast as though it is attempting to change heights, and the valve block clicks trying to pass air . However no height change occurs and there is no air pressure within the reser voir tank. (1) There is a potential blockage in the air dryer . (2)[...]
