Default DSC zeroing shock question

When zeroing the shocks is this a typical output. The little box states SUCCESS but numbers are all over the place like LF at 0 and others 1800 to 2000. Just wondering what others typically see. Thx.

Yep normal. If they all say 0 you didn't have the car in the ignition On mode. You did it right.

Hmmmm......IMHO that doesn’t look right.

All mine show somewhat similar readings, and I think your LF should be somewhere in the 1800 to 2000 range like your other shocks.

It may say “success”, but with that zero for the LF, I think that shock didn’t properly send it’s info for some reason.

Ok I’ll retract my “yay”.

I tried to zero like 10 times and each shock except that LF would change by single digits but that LF stays pegged on Zero.

I dont know where the sensor sensor is for the shock but will try to poke around

Agree. You did it correctly but the one reading zero is unusual. Usually they're all random numbers in the thousands.

Ok I m gonna post up the “YAY!” Again. I went back , took out the controller and found the fourth pin on the single row bent Blech. Straightened it, reconnected and got a reading in the 1900s when zeroing. Makes me wonder what the default cation is for the shock if there’s no communication. Or maybe it’s only limited communication. Anyway I’ll see what happens next time out. Thanks for the responses. They helped!
