Default Air Ride Suspension w/ a mind of its own?¿?¿?

I was wondering if you guys ever heard or ever had this problem w/ your air ride suspension. Sometime I will be driving and the supspension will start to adjust on its own. It will start going up only on the front driver side. I notice this b/c my car starts pulling to the right. I also notice when it does that my rear passanger suspension gets low. It all kind of happened after I installed my Data Air Ride Controller.

Do you guys have any idea what this could be. I did manually lower it a bit before I had the data air ride controller. Could that be loose? B/c I went back to make sure it was tightened and it was. But still sometimes it just starts to adjust on its own. I have to come to a complete stop and put it on a different level, then it starts to adjust back to normal But its takes a long time for it to adjust or I have to change it to different levels in order for it to kick in. Thanks for any tips. Its just weird.....

Hey i would start by looking at the sensors then look at the data system, if this started happening after you installed the data system then that could be the problem...maybe it was installed improperly or 1 or more of your sensors are out of wack...but start from the sensors and work your way back to the data system...also check if everything is intact with the wiring.

Reset your controller and make sure you select the correct version of the Celsior. Sounds like it's set up for the wrong car. There are some other threads on the front page now describing this process. Just search my posts.

Isn't there a speed sensing setting in which you hit a certain MPH and it lowers to a setting? Could this be it?

How do you reset your controller? Unplug the wires?

Im sure I have the right version of the Celsior. If my car is an 01 LS430. What should be the correct Celsior? UCF****?

B/c orginally when I first installed it, I know I had it on the wrong car. And it didn't work at all.

Push and hold top left button on controller with car turned off. Turn on car while still holding the button. Controller is reset.

So what your saying is there are a couple of diff. listings and symbols (correct car) that will work on 01 LS430? And just not work properly?

If you chose the wrong car, it still might do something, or it might not. I'm not sure.

I have the '02, so you should set yours up like I did with mine in the link I posted above.

Still having this issue, I'm not sure if its the cold weather, but it happens every once and awhile. And its getting annoying, I went back and made sure I chose the correct car. Anyone?¿?¿?
