Air bag replacement and steering control

[TexExpd2000]

I have a 2000 Expd. that I just replaced the air bags on with spring/shocks and immediatly noticed the change in steering control. I have done some research and found that the air suspension and speed sensitive steering control module are tied together. Is there a way to regain the SSSC. Right now the air suspension is turned off (dash light is on). Is it just as simple as turning the system back on? I had this work done by a mechanic, so i'm not sure what lines are plugged, etc. just looking for some guidance/education to try and take care of this myself. Thanks in advance.

I too would like to know the answer to this question. I converted my rear air suspension this past weekend and I immediately noticed how "loose" the steering felt.

Hopefully one of the knowledgable folks can help us out.

hey ez2bgman is your air suspension switch turned off? mine was, and when i turned it back on it seemed to get the steering for firm, it worked for me but im not sure if this will wor for anyone else

jacks3am,

Yes my switch is off. Don't I have to plug the lines if I turn the switch back on?

Thanks

i dont know, i just flipped the switch. no noise for me, but it seemed to work since the steering feature is controlled by the air suspension computer thingy (forgot what it was called) once again it worked for me, idk if it will work for u

Well I turned on the switch and the pump kept going on and off. Can I turn on the switch and then unplug the pump? Even if I plug the lines, I think the pump will keep turning on and off.

Thanks

yeah u should just unhook the pump because it will keep going.
