Precise fault location:
Check whether the air pockets exhibit a leakage before replacing any components.

4. Fill each one with maximum of 300 mbar
5a. If pressure drops within 30 sec one of the pockets is defective and the complete lumbar support module has to be replaced
5b. If there is no pressure loss detected, then the lumbar support parts kit is generally to be used
