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 .
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. Ensure that a clear access to all of the fittings on the air dryer is maintained.
5 HEIGHT SENSOR INSTALLATION Step 1 There will be a bag in your kit with all of the hardware that you will need to put the height sensors on your vehicle. Group a height sensor from the kit with a height sensor bracket and two M5 x 8mm machine screws as indicated in Figure 2.
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.
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.
8 PROGRAMMING THE SYSTEM For the system to oper ate properly the vehicle suspension tr av el will need to be programmed into the ECU. Reconnect the negative terminal on the battery . Step 1: Programming Setup Plug the program switch into the wire harness that is labeled program switch.

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.
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.
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.
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.
