Any Way to Tell if F55 Magnetic Shocks are Bad with a Tech 2?
I have a 2003 coupe with the F55 magnetic ride; seems to be riding a lot harsher lately so wondering if the magnetic shocks might be bad. I picked up a new Tech 2 a few weeks ago, does anybody know if it can diagnose if the shocks are good or bad? Checked for codes and nothing there.
Thanks

I vaguely remember someone posting something about disconnecting the battery to "wake" their F55 system up... I'm sorry I don't recall exactly how everything related... I just remember something like that. Might be worth a try.

The path on mine was worded a bit different but I did get to RTD-Spec Functions>shock solenoid test. When I turned them on they all went to 95% and when I hit the cycle button they all cycled ok and no DTC's were thrown so it looks like at least the shock solenoids are working.

No, just getting to that, wanted to post the Tech 2 info while it was fresh in my head. Yes, I did cycle the switch and I also used the Tech 2 to check it and it seemed good.
Looks like the LR and RF might be leaking.

What are you going to go with? C6 Z51's? Might be hitting you up in the near future for the F55 delete if you don't mind?

C6 Z06 shocks already sitting in my garage waiting. Here is a link to the F55 RPO delete procedure. Follow them EXACTLY:

My car has gotten a bit past stock and the springs needed to be changed as well as the sways. Springs are C5 Z06 and sways are C6Z06. Spring rates of the C5 Z are close to those of the C6 Z and C6 springs cannot be installed in a C5.

Remove F55 RPO
I agree the shocks aren't worth the cost. You said you have the instructions on how to remove the F55 RPO. Care to share, I'm lost.
