Re: C5 hydractive 3 electrical issue

I have come to terms with the fact that the car is not as soft as I thought it should be. I have never sat in another c5 x7, but any other car is comparable, if not better, than the C5 on minor bumps. Because of this I replaced all the spheres, all the chassis parts and it still didn't help. Last week my electronic handbrake broke and for some inexplicable reason the car went soft like never before... It didn't take long and I'm driving hard again. I would like to recommend to throw away the solenoids and test it only which would be adequate to the solenoids so that the car does not give me an error. Can I simply measure the resistance of the solenoid and use a resistor of the same value between Terminals + and - on the BHI?? I suspect that the Ecu is passing current to the solenoid even though everything appears to be OK in the Diabox. The instruction manual with Diodes, which is here, is for hydractiv 2 where the mode is opposite (voltage on the solenoid during soft ride)
