What is the expected current for the Live Valve shocks in each mode?

I was flying down some trails in NV in my 2019 when all of a sudden things started getting very bumpy. Maybe it was the trail but it didn’t look that much worse. I started to think maybe the LV shocks were acting up.

I played with the settings a bit and realized I couldn’t feel any difference in the ride between the modes.

When I got home I used Forscan and looked at the current going to the shock solenoids. LF_DAMPER_CURRENT, and so forth.

Sitting in my driveway it showed 1.6 A going to all four corners regardless of which mode I was in. Sometimes it wobbled down to 1.55 but then quickly returned to 1.6.

Is this normal? Shouldn’t it change with the mode? Or do I need to drive a certain distance or do something else other than cycle the mode switch. Is the current the wrong quantity to be observing?
