- Hey everyone!
I'm Peter and in this video I will show you how to calibrate the air suspension on your own using the GAP IID tool on a Land Rover Discovery 4 / Land Rover LR4. There can be several reasons why you may need to calibrate the air suspension. An adjusted sensor, a replaced air strut, a replacement air reservoir, a repair to the air suspension system, etc.
This is, in my opinion, one of the easiest ways to calibrate the air suspension without going to the Land Rover dealer and paying €200 for 10 minutes of their time!
The GAP IID tool is one of the best aftermarket diagnostic tools for Land Rover. It's not the cheapest, but if you have a few problems with your Land Rover or Range Rover, you'll have it back quickly because of the garage costs saved.
I am not sponsored by GAP Diagnostic and this is not an advertisement for the tool. I just want to help you save money by doing repairs or maintenance yourself. Therefore, I can only highly recommend this tool and the support of GAP Diagnostic!

I have a 2014 LR4 and I'm learning so much, and saving a lot of money from watching Peter's videos. Two thumbs up!
Thanks ever so much! I was not understanding the 465mm and the mm would not appear on the screen. Then I get it all. Great vid!
About to get an LR4 and ran into your videos. These are making me feel so much more confident in buying our LR4.
Many jobs that need to be done are not that difficult and can really be done by yourself. Happy New Year, Peter
Loving the content! Incredibly helpful, please keep it up!
@Stevottty Glad I could help! I think there will be a few more videos on the Discovery 4 / LR4. Because there is always enough to do with this car and its extensions 😄
Thank you, I just got my iid tool, this is great info, thank you👍
really easy process! Thanks for this helpful video
You’re welcome! It’s one of my favourite features on the IID Tool ☺️
Thanks for this! I just did mine. Nice and easy :)
Hey @KangoV! Glad the video helped you! 👍🏻
Peter you would have already dented Land Rover business, and aptly so.
Last week I got them to diagnose my LR4 and they slapped me with an estimate of 13,000,00 in Indian currency or £ 14,000 for some cosmetics, suspension and turbo replacement.
Thank you for your guidance bro.
Great video bro, thanks a lot!
Thank you for this!!!
Gap IIDtool is a must imo. Had restricted performance mode come on, ran the diagnostic codes showing fuel rail pressure low, changed the fuel filter and all fixed.
Yes, I totally agree with you. If you are planning to buy a Land Rover, buy an IID tool as soon as possible and you can avoid a lot of headaches! 😉 Greetings, Peter
Gracias man.
Good review of height calibration...
Thanks 😊
Now I have to have my own GAP tool. Thanks for the hint👍. About distance for the rear wheels. The App mentioned 485 mm (not 458 mm 🙃). Keep going, your videos are very useful.👏
Hi @Thomas!
Cool! Yes, the tool is really useful when it comes to such trifles!
Oh, did I pronounce the distance wrong? Because in the video I gave the rear distance as 485mm, at least as text. 🤭Sorry for that!
@@notthatkindofachannel I wasn't able to resist. Now, DHL has a job to do.📦
@@ThomasFromHome Haha 😆 I understand this all too well!
Please tell me about those spot lights you have on your LR4 ? They look great .
What tire pressure monitors did you buy for 70 euros?
Hi Peter, i have been watching your channel, it's brilliant, the question i have is, does your L4 have 2 batteries fitted in the engine compartment, keep the videos coming, regards Neville Slater, South Africa
Hey Neville, thank you very much!
No, the black one in the video is from 2012 and didn't have a second battery. I think it was only available from the 2014 facelift.
Yes, new videos are coming again! Unfortunately, I had a lot of other things to do over the summer.
Best wishes and all the best from Austria to South Africa,
Peter
get an old plastic wheel centre slice a hole across the centre to fit the end of your tape measure in, then you just go around each wheel (no need to push the plastic centre right in) then you will get the tape measure in the same place with out the tape the hub centre is guaranteed.
Hey! Yes, of course, this also works and is certainly more convenient for the recurring work! Good idea and thanks for the tip! All the best, Peter
👍👍
Just executed it. :)
Great! Did it work for you?
Excelente Video. Sabe onde consigo comprar um aparelho desse ? A minha esta ficando com um lado mais baixo que o outro. Sou do Brasil. Obrigado
Hey, you can directly buy it from the manufactors site gap-diagnostic.com. Best, Peter
What about tire pressures, is it critical to be set at factory suggestions? Is this not something that should be done/checked before doing calibration?
I wouldn't see it as critical, as the TPS would already be triggered if the tyre pressure was really too low. But it is generally advisable to work with the standard pressures and to check the tyres regularly anyway.
Hallo. Ich habe einen RangeRover L320... Leider funktioniert das bei meinem nicht... Was mach ich falsch...🤔
Hello, can I use it on my A8 2011? Nice video!
Hello! Sorry but the IID tool is only for Land Rover. But I am sure that there is tool for VW/Audi too out in the market. Regards, Peter
Hey there can that scan tool also tell you the transmision temperature, i wanna change my transmission fluid and it calls i need to read the temperature to top off?? Thanks for any reply
Hi, yes it’s possible to check temperature of the transmission fluid in the live values of the IID App. Best greetings, Peter
Like 👍
Thanks :)
Would this process chsnge at all if the vehicle has larger than standard rims? I.e 22 inch instead of 20 inch?
Hey! No, it wouldn't change anything, as the preset height for the front and rear axle would remain the same. All the best, Peter
I am wondering if I should do this before or after I have my alignment done? or both?
Hey! I think it doesn't matter whether before or after. Calibration should always be independent of this. All the best, Peter
I think it is really important to do it before an alignment. The Discovery needs to be put into tight tolerance mode so that it is at the exact correct height while alignment is done.
So if your Discovery isn't even calibrated to the correct ride height before then putting it into tight tolerance mode would just be pointless as the heights are probably out especially after any suspension or steering repairs which usually cause the need for an alignment.
I would definitely do an air suspension calibration before an alignment and when you arrive at the alignment garage then put it into tight tolerance mode with IID tool. Don't drive for long in tight tolerance as this causes suspension wear/damage, so make sure it is put back into normal tolerance after the wheel alignment 👍
Also when doing a suspension calibration, only hit the last step on your phone/tablet while sat in the car so that you are ready to press up or down on suspension height control. Otherwise it times out on the iid tool and doesn't save the new adjustments of the heights.
@@powervolt748 Just what I did and had good results. Thank you!
I want to add blind spot monitoring to my discovery4. My plan is to use the Range Rover mirror
Does your Discovery 4 already have the blind spot module installed?
@@notthatkindofachannel my idea is to use the Range Rover or Lr4 mirrors with the factory indicator in the glass, and then either add a aftermarket or maybe the factory blind spot radar units to make it work.
@r0cket0710 Yes, I've already thought about that with the mirrors. I didn't know there was an aftermarket kit for them. Thanks for the info!
I have a 2006 rrs supercharged... My car was fine and out of boredom i selected calibrate anti roll option then i got e7 error code and my red suspension light is on... Everything still works ie suspension goes up an down etc but now the red light stays on and fault code C1A00-54 - Control module - System
programming failure - missing
calibration (AB)... 😮... Any advice please 🙏
Hey, did you try to restore you previous settings in the IID Tool? It should be in the IID menu "Save & Restore" or so... Greetings, Peter
@@notthatkindofachannel thanks.. Just yried it no luck
Clipped weights on alloy rims ??? On an off-road vehicle, you should use stick weight inside the rims...
At 8' 36, it seems to me you said 458 mm instead of 485 mm 😉
On my IIDtool, there is a 5 seconds countdown when asking to push an EAS button at the end. Any explication ?
Yes I think it was mispronounced, the number in the video should be right though if I'm not mistaken 😄
Wasn't the best garage that balanced the tyres. They couldn't get the weights on the raptor paint to hold. And since they are winter tyres, that wasn't so bad for me.
When does the countdown come after you have calibrated all 4 sides?
@@notthatkindofachannel Yes, and looking closer I can see the same countdown on your video (the red numbers up right). Do we must press EAS within these 5 seconds ?
Ah okay, this one => It is only for the message window because this is automatically hidden after 5 seconds ;)
Programming is finished when you press the button and no more light flashes. So you can also take your time :)
does this tool work on new defender L633?
Hey! On the website they’re saying that the L663 will be supported soon.

Greetings, Peter
another question, will this not cancel my warranty?
Hi. Can U send link to purchase this tool or just tool name?
Hey Krysztof! For sure, here is the link: www.gap-diagnostic.com/shop/iidtool-bt/
@@notthatkindofachannel thx 🙂
I've tried the same but I get error 0 or error 1 when I try to apply the settings.
Hey James! Please contact GAP support and tell them about your problem. There might be a problem with the software and the ECUs of the vehicle. I would also share the ECU information of your car with them. To do this, simply go to "ECU Info" in the IID tool on the start screen and then click on the share symbol. The mail address for support is => gapteam@gap-diagnostic.com.
All the best, Peter
@@notthatkindofachannel Thanks for the reply Peter much appreciated I've sent that through hopefully I can hear back from them. Upon checking there is a lot of ecu upgrades I guess you have to pay for each update? Pretty sweet tool so far.
You’re welcome! You don’t have to pay for every update. It depends what has to be updated. For example, I had a problem when adding a new key and got an update for the IID tool that worked with my car. You’ll only have to pay the „fast lane updates“.
Hello, I would like to know how much this costs GAP IID
Hey! It’s around 500€. Best, Peter
@@notthatkindofachannel thanks
Cuál es el nombre de la aplicación?
Hey, the name of the app in the Apple Store is IIDControl. Best, Peter
Why do you need to calibrate the suspension?
Sometimes the calibration of a height sensor of the chassis gets lost or misadjusted and then the vehicle starts to hang. I have seen this happen many times with others. This can happen due to e.g. improper handling when changing tyres etc. All the best, Peter
This was fantastic! Thank you, but,,,,,,, If I only need this to calibrate suspension, why would I pay US 550 buck vs 200 bucks at dealer for a one time adjustment?
Hello @Garry Kennedy!
It would be too expensive for a one-time use, you're right. But as I mentioned in my video with the key, as soon as other problems arise it quickly paid for itself.
Just like in my case, add a key. This would cost 450€ at JLR which is about 490$.
To delete an error also costs 100€ / 130$. You can do a lot more with this tool, such as resetting the service interval, learning a new battery, checking your air compressor, retrieving live data and much more.
Many greetings, Peter
@@notthatkindofachannel My Blue Driver resets most if not all errors. Haven't had one yet I couldn't reset so far. Knock on wood! So long as you have a good key, you can program another key with your vehicle. Done it already.
@@garrykennedy5484 If you don't have any errors or anything else, you're one of the lucky ones 👍🏻 Yes, of course, unfortunately it didn't work for me 😕 By the way, for the calibration (mechanical) you could also use adjustable rods with which you can also raise the vehicle. Those are much cheaper.
@@notthatkindofachannel I am aware of those as well. Thanks man. It had a lot of errors when I got it, but I worked through them all and after replacing the head gaskets and the things that caused that problem, I am VERY sure this is a VERY reliable vehicle at this time. I have over 2000 miles since the head gasket job and I've pushed it hard to make sure all is well. IT is!!!
@Garry Kennedy The only fear I have is that the 3L diesel engine will break. Everything else, except the turbos, can be repaired more or less "easily". For me it is the perfect car and I would not know what to buy after this one!
Mine costed 650€. 550 for the tool and 100 for the VAT and import taxes
Unfortunately, everything has become more expensive and apparently the IID tool is no exception 😔
I have 11 Range Rover sport, installed trailer harness wiring without programming. I drove 2 hours to pick up rv to just find out that rv plug has no power. Fuck me.
@harry j Oh ok, that's bad of course! I hope the police didn't make you aware of the mistake. 😳
Omg. Who put those weights on outside of your alloys?! On alloys they should use self adhesive one and stick them from behind the spokes. And also normal tyrefitters have silver and black to match the wheels colour.
Haha, yes, pretty is different 😜 The problem was that the weight did not hold on the raptor paint. And since they are winter tyres, that doesn't bother me at all. 😁
Sorry, you missed another point... The EAS should be set in "tight tolerance" before calibration and set back to "normal tolerance" after.
Hello, I don't think this is necessary as it is not mentioned in the guided calibration in the IID tool manual. (Starting at page 110) And this is about guided calibration, not manual calibration. Best, Peter
Does it help if my LR4 is sagged (red suspension fault) ?
Hey Gordon! It depends on why the error occurs. If it's a mechanical problem, the tool obviously can't fix the error. (For example: compressor or height sensor defective, leakage in the system, etc.) If there is only a software error, this can be remedied in most cases. But even if it is a mechanical problem, the tool will tell you what is defective or what is causing the problem.
All the best, Peter
@@notthatkindofachannel Thanks!
I just installed the Johnson rods and gave me this error. Was thinking to switch back to OEM rods and get the tool to set at full time off road height , any opinion ? 😃
@@gordonyip8415 Ah ok, then everything is clear to me. You would have to recalibrate the chassis so that the sensors work correctly again. These are out of their working range with the raised rods ;) Kind regards, Peter
@@notthatkindofachannel Makes sense!
i jacked up the car and it seemed to recalibrate by itself, at least responding. But later one, the error came back again. Do we definitely need a gap tool to recalibrate ?
I suspect my case is bit different, because my yellow suspension light (drivable)has been on for a while, but i ignored it.
Seems like to me the sensor really hates it if I dont fix all the fault light completely.
@@gordonyip8415 You can also have this done at a Land Rover dealer or at an independent workshop that can do this. But unfortunately there are no cheaper alternatives for such work on the Land Rover.
Another question: have you tried to remove the fuse from the air suspension, then turn on the ignition, turn it off, put the fuse back in and start it? This should also reset the air suspension. However, I'm not sure if it works, but you can at least try. All the best, Peter
