Tein EDFC problems!!!

I've had the Tein super streets with edfc since Dec last year, all working fine, until now...

I did have it set at soft (16,16), medium (8,8) and hard (0,0) for the three settings, but now the memory has lost them, and it defaults to (0,0) which does not make for a comfy everyday ride to say the least!

I can't get it to accept or memorise any settings at all. When I make the settings, I can hear the motors at work front and back, but after a few seconds the front setting reads ER (I guess ERROR) and the whole thing bleeps and flashes and nothing I do will alter anything unless I switch the unit off and on again. Then it defaults back to (0,0) again.

I have looked under the bonnet and the wires are intact. I've done a search and I can't see this problem anywhere else.

As it's only 8 months old, will it be under warranty? I wasn't given the box or any instructions by the garage who fitted it. Is it kerknackered or am I missing something obvious?!? Help!

The ER stands for 'error right', If you hold the power button down for about 5 seconds it should reset the system and hopefully fix it, let me know if it doesn't.

 

Just so everyone else knows the codes mean the following:

 

ER = Error right

EL = Error left

EE = Error at both sides

Yes tried that and the unit switches off, then when I switch on again all three settings have defaulted to 00,00 again.

When I try and make the front go softer, whether 8 or 10 or 16 or whatever, after a minute or two the ER code occurs again, and I have to switch the unit off and on again. So it looks like something is wrong with the front right of the system then?

Got it fixed, thanks Darren. :thumbs:

 

Turns out the because the seat is positioned next to the control unit, it was pulling on the wires coming from the unit. Now I have moved the unit a little and all sorted. What a relief that it was something so simple and I didn't have to get any replacement parts!
