A quick way to diagnose your Suspension fault. Hope this helps out the people that wrote me the private messages asking for help. Any questions just hit me up...
Thank you, so much for this video. This has been my problem for the past week or so now. Because of this video, I was able to save a ton of money by foregoing to the dealership for service.
This is the third video that advises - check your battery strength. I have a HDC fault code on my 2006 RR. Thanks for the confirmation. I will also have them check my alternator too.
hey first off,very informative video.is it possible for you to do a quick tutorial on how to switch out the ride height sensor. if so that would be greatly appreciated
Hello I appreciate your video I have a 07 Range Rover sport I changed the lowering kit about over year ago I put 24inch rims on it had O issues gave the truck a great look in winter I have 22inch rims on it recently I been getting suspension fault normal height only. I hear the compressor when I start the truck and then the fault comes up and stays on what do you think thanks in advance
My front failed first, the compressor made a lot of noise. Then my rear susp failed. I drove it on the bump stops for about 20 miles. I replaced the compressor, it still wont raise. Did driving it on the bump stops ruin all four corners?
Thanks for the super fast response!! When my suspension light goes on (Amber or red) I'm unable to switch my terrain (light won't be on) as soon as suspension fault shows on the dash
Jhc 1229, I have a problem with the rear suspension of my 2007 RRS Supercharged. Both sides of the rear are down to the bumpstops. There is no viewable gap between the rear tyres and the wheel arches! The suspension of the front of the SUV is at the standard setting and an obvious gap between tyres and wheel arch can be seen. The screen is reading "suspension fault" everytime I start the SUV. The vehicle does not respond to raising it and I can't hear the compressor. My cousin recently changed a tyre and may have erroneously closed the tailgate during the procedure. Could that have anything to do with the problem?
I purchased the LR3 from a mom and pop dealer, they have a good reputation in the area but not a big chain. They purchased and replaced it for me. I have looked at relays, fused, ran the little diagnostic test in one of your other videos with the 7-5-3 code but I am stuck- please help lol
Thank you so much for taking the time to put this video together, homie. You are a humanitarian of sorts. I have a 2006 Range Rover HSE and the fault happened to me today after a trip to big bear and a light off road trip. You saved me a cool heartache. Thanks again and blessings to you!
boss. i got 2005 RR . my problem started while going to drive i have notice the left rear tyre was low of air . i drove it to the nearest service and pumped the tyre till 45 ... i then recieve a msg " air susp. inactive " . i youtube how to fix it and did the same turning the wheel drive full right . then full left but no action was made .. i ignored the msg and drove almost 150 km and then another msg poped up saying self level susp inactive. and i have notice my front left side is really low ..were as the right front side high.. should i do the same with the battery . or you have another suggestion.. awaiting for your assistant .. thank you
Okay my man, this is where I am at, still looking for some help. I start the truck and the compressor will run for 5-10 seconds ( I have not timed it) and it will stop and the fault will immediately appear. It is derivable but rides no where close to what it should be. Any thoughts?
Hey mate thank you for the video. I have had so much issues with my 2005 Range Rover sports. 3 compressors have blown and no mechanic could figure it out then finally I found out the shockers where stuffed and caused that to happen so got some new ones. New compressor and now when I drive it starts bouncing at times and on the screen in the car it shows it all lined up but there’s a little difference in heights if the red dots and lines. I looked under the car and the boots for axels are pouring out with Greese and when I move the axle it wobbles abit. So does the axel show in the dash screen there?
How do I turn off the chime for the Suspension Fault? I had a non-dealer successfully address the suspension problem, but from the electrical perspective, he was unable to turn off that chime. Any thoughts?
Thank you this was very helpful. I had one of my tires replaced and ever since then I’m getting a warning that says only normal height available… I went into my 4 x 4 information and everything looks normal. So what’s the 1% if it’s not that sensor thingy or am I missing something?
Your "problem" hasn't shown itself yet. The best thing to do is to go past an auto parts store and ask to use their code reader. It's free of charge and if you don't know how to use it one of the store workers will come out and do it for you. There should be a code that pulls up. Once you get that code let me know what it is and I will give you the best course of action.
OK ONE LAST QUESTION ..THIS ALL STARTED WHEN WE GOT A FLAT TIRE AND WE HAD SPARE ON FOR ABOUT A WEEK ..THEN ONCE WE PUT REGULAR TIRE BACK ON MY HUSBAND WENT OUT OF TOWN (ABOUT 1 HR AWAY) AND ONCE HE PARKED CAR AND LATER WENT TO GET BACK IN CAR IT WOULDNT RAISE..DOES IT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH US CHANGING TIRE OR DO U FEEL ITS STILL A COMPRESSOR ISSUE ......SORRY TO KEEP ASING ALL THESE QUESTIONS..BUT THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
Jhc1229, thanks for your suggestion. checked my just bought 08 RRSS's battery and found it was in yellow. This is the day 1 after replacing the battery and seems the suspensions are OK now
Thanks for the video, the more I know the better! I've replaced a few components in my suspension, almost all of them, but continue to get an error when in "off' road height mode and I go over a bump. As soon as I go over a decent sized bump my LR3 throws a suspension error, I am thankful the vehicle does not lower at this point but I no longer have control of the suspension options until I turn the vehicle off and restart. Any help would be appreciated! Is it worth be getting the suspension tool??
Can you tell me who makes the suspension compressor for Land Rover? I have a 2006 RR sport SC. I need to get a rebuild kit for the compressor and want to make sure I get the right one. The kit I'm looking at is for the Hitachi compressor. Any help would be appreciated.
I can't remember exactly. Look on ebay and there are a few people selling the kits. You can input model and year and it will tell you what is compatible or not
Thanks for the info. I have that suspension fault bell coming on car rides great took it to mechanic found no problem. What could I do ? Fault comes n goes .
Thanks for the video, my suspension fault comes on right away, goes to red when I first raise it up but for only a few cycles. When driving on 4x4 info the rear driver side goes up and down and the rest don't move. Do you think it's the censor? Can I interchange the censor and see if the other side on 4x4 info acts up? Thanks Dave
Dave Lombardo That is most definitely the sensor. You can switch from the opposing side and it will do the same thing just on the side u switched it to. That will let you know it is the sensor.
Hello, I have a 2002 Range Rover HSE 4.6L. I have had about 5 hard faults and each time was able to clear them by using a free EAS software and special cable to hook up to the OBII connector. I recently had my vehicle's oil changed and they put my RR up on a hydraulic lift rack. I drove my vehicle about 100 miles without any problems. Then out of nowhere, I got a "soft fault" where all of the orange lights illuminated on the dash and the orange lift arrow on the driver's dash. This was different than the other faults I have had, because in the past, I had "hard faults", with "do not exceed 25 MPH". Also, in the past, the hard fault never drained my battery. This new soft fault problem drained my battery after being parked in my driveway for a few days. Anyhow, the (freeware) EAS software that I have always used in the past did not work as the system was not able to "talk" to the EAS ECU (although it was able to read the codes, several of which were FR, RR, AND LR height sensor codes). The software developer said that his "new" software would not have this problem/bug, albeit the software that used to be "freeware" is now $190 USD. I opted to buy a full range scanner from Rovers North, model "iCarsoft", which they said would read and clear all fault codes, not just the EAS fault codes. Anyhow, I plugged it in and it seems to read fine, but when I try to unlock the EAS, it gives me an error code, "ECU communication error". I have spent a few hours on the web trying to figure out what to do. I have checked and swapped the relays under the hood in the fuse box. I have also read that it could be the EAS DELAY FUSE located under the driver's seat that is causing this problem. My questions are: 1) How can I test to see if the EAS Delay fuse is working properly? 2) I read somewhere that the ride height sensors sometimes get grime in them over time (which can cause height sensor height faults) and that you can remove and clean them. Can you shed some light on how to "clean them"? 3) In the past, the hard fault never drained my battery. This new soft fault problem drained my battery after leaving the RR parked for a few days. Is this a clue as to something else I should be looking for? For example, what could be causing this? 4) My air compressor does not seem to be running. Is this because I am in "soft fault" mode? It is my understanding that the air compressor will not run while in "hard fault" mode. I am not sure if this is the case when in "soft fault" mode. I have a feeling when I had the oil change that this caused my height sensors to go "out of whack" and trip the soft fault code. However, while I am in "soft fault" mode and cannot unlock the EAS, I am basically locked out of the system. Which takes me back to a possible bad EAS DELAY relay. Is there a way to test my EAS DELAY RELAY?? PLEASE HELP.
Hey brother, good video! Question, I have an LR4 13 it’s great, however, recently I got a Suspension fault, but I do hear on the front bag air leaking out and the car will not raise at all I guess because all the air is trying to go into that area. Do you recommend changing the whole strut with the bag assembly already built or just replace the spring bag. Thank you.
My left front air bag had a hole in it. I have replaced this now, and done all the resets on the dash. The height adjustment light on the dash still won't light up. My car is a range rover 2005 td6 se model 30lt diesel.
Ok got the front two sensors replaced. they are all registering on the 4x4 screen, but still have the red indicator on with the arrows, and showing system fault special programs unavailable and special programs off. still won't air up.
JHC: I just reviewed my order summary from the new ride height sensor I bought, its for the Range Rover LR3 models. This is why it will not read and adjust my back rear tire height sensor is suppose? I will try to exchange and let you know how the correct one works.
Hi, first of all, thanks a million for your informative videos. I have a 2008 Range Rover Sport that has a bouncy feeling on the steering while I hit bumps on the road, it feels good as long as there are not small or big bumps on the road. Any thoughts or ideas of what it could be?. Thank you.
hey jhc1229 i have a 2008 range rover sport hse my air suspension fault signal light comes on and where you raise your height upper and lower light is off now my back of my truck is so low that it scrapes when i hit speed bumps so i gotta go super slow i just bought a new batter cause my battery died out thought that was the problem but the height light is off the only light on is the mountain high or low light is working but its just the back 2 do you think its the compressor i use here like a compressor noise now i dont hear that noise and i figure ever since then my car look low to me i didint really pay attention till now please help!
It's possible that your compressor is dead or you have a bad ride height sensor. Disconnect your battery for 5 minutes then after you reconnect it, start the vehicle and try to raise the suspension. After you do that let me know what the vehicle does and we will go from there. if it does raise up and you drive it for a while and the light comes back on and the vehicle lowers all the way down again, then most likely it's a ride height sensor.
Hi, I am trying to play my DVD on my rear entertainment system. The rear screens play fine but I cannot see the movie on my navigation screen at all. I know how to get to the diagnose screen but that didnt help either. I heard that some RR sport supercharged have the cable that links the front to the rear and some dont. Any help would be appreciated.
jhc1229, Im having some serious issues with my 05, LR3. Suspension fault has been on in amber color. Yesterday the red came on and it would not rise, compress seems not to be working. It says "special programs off". I had the compressor replaced about 6 months ago. Im kinda at a loss for what to do. I checked the battery and it is good, plenty of power. Any suggestions would be appreciated.- Thanks
I have a 2006 RR sport SC. The suspension compressor is going out. Would like to rebuild the compressor. Can you tell me where to get a genuine parts kit or a good place to get another compressor. I hear that there have been serious problems with after market compressors and having to reprogram the computer also. And who is the manufacturer of the Land Rover suspension compressor? Thanks for your help!
Got a 2006 lr3. down to the bump stops and won't air up. giving me special programs unavailable and the 30 mph. back wheels and front right blinking on 4x4 screen. any ideas?
Disconnect the battery for a few minutes then reconnect it and see if you can activate the suspension. After you do that let me know what it does or doesn't do.
Hi, is it OK to raise or drop the car while driving? I just bought a used 2007 RR Sport HSE and when I have my car on park I notice it defaults to high level and when I want to drop it to low level whether while driving or on park and then drive off the car rises... it says "slow down or suspension will raise" - any ideas or suggestions? Thanks
Hello and happy new year. Thanks for your help a few weeks ago. I had the battery replaced and all was good for 2 weeks. My amber suspension light came on both yesterday morning and this morning. Both were cleared after a restart a few minutes later. My question is I've got a road trip starting tomorrow and I don't have time to take it to the dealership. Can I still drive it if the light stays Amber? What if it turns red? Is it still safe to drive it? Will I damage anything? Thanks in advance.
+Steve Shih Technically you won't damage anything if it turns red...BUT the suspension will most likely dump all of the air out of the system and you will be riding on your bump stops and that is a very bouncy and uncomfortable ride
Thanks so much for the speedy reply. Can I just ignore this if it were to happen once a week? Is there definitely something wrong or just a computer glitch? Sorry for these dumb questions but just being paranoid. It only says suspension fault on the display and nothing else. No "normal height only" or special programs off" .thanks again!!!
TWO SECONDS FROM CONVERTING TO COIL SPRING!!! Hello jhc, Ive noticed you are very knowledgeable with these RR issues. Maybe a quick answer can save my life! I have a 2007 RR Sport HSE, The suspension fault started popping up a month ago and kicking off my compressor. Eventually it would only lift the rear (quickly) and the front would still be stuck on the bump stops. I replaced the compressor and relay out of pure ignorance to a more obvious issue with the front? Anyways with new compressor on board (today) nothing changed UNTIL.... I put the truck on my lift and let all four wheels fully extend off the ground. Once i put her back on the ground and drove it back and fourth to settle everything worked well! Up and down with no fault codes (all though front was ALOT slower than the back). I took off and went for a test drive after playing with it flawlessly for 20 min and the fault light came back on again! Now it comes on every time i start the vehicle after 20 seconds of compressor action...
I have a 05 RR hse. I had no issues until I put a new battery in. The "inactive suspension worded in green" on dash won't go away!!! After replacing battery I turn wheel all the way to left and right which took away all indicators except "INACTIVE SUSPENSION" !!! It drives normal and even all wheels on screen are even. I noticed I'm not able to control suspension and no lights are on the control panel that controls the suspension. The entire suspension was fixed a year a so ago. Rides perfect just annoying to keep see INACTIVE SUSPENSION ON DASH!!!! Any ideas how to fix this?????
Disconnect the battery for about 15 minutes to let everything clear out. If that doesn't work, go to auto zone or some place and use their scan tool if you don't have one. If you have any codes showing let me know.
Hey bro I had a few questions about my range rover I front have any options to raise or lower my suspension it's pissing me off since I bought it I haven't been able to use any features since I got it it would be really helpful if u can throw me some tips thanks
James Heaven I'm currently out the country BUT...I promise you it isn't difficult at all. I actually let my son who was 12 at the time do it. I of course instructed him but it takes longer to jack the vehicle up and take the tire off than to actually swap it out. I believe there is a RR page on RU-vid that shows how to do it.
yes the raising and lowering is working, the other thing this when you start the car the suspension fault light will go off but once you drive for about 5 kilometers it comes back on,
Hello, when I select the ride height setting with selector for 4x4 and normal the light goes solid, but in access mode it flashes and doesn't go solid. No fault or warning. When you turn it off and leave it and come back it will be solid. Any ideas?
You will probably get an actual fault pretty soon. Make sure you have a good battery. Sometimes a low battery will trigger little things like that. Disconnect your battery for about 10 minutes and let the system reset itself and see if that helps
My suspension fault comes on after I've been driving my vehicle for over 30-45 minutes. The car doesn't drop or anything but my front driver side suspension makes a weird sound when it goes over bumps or rough patches on the roud. It sounds like a whistle or something. What do you think it is?
Can you answer me please I have the front right passenger side it’s lower front driver side I look about the screen on the dash it’s on good level so I should change high sensor it or not
I had the right tire go all the way down and the compressor fuse blew up a couple of times so I replaced the height sensor and now the level is fine but sometimes I get suspenssion will raise when system cool down. Some times it does not raise up and said falied suspenssion. Could it be a faulty compressor.
+Miguel Rodriguez Yes, it could be going bad especially if you are blowing fuses. It's working harder then normal trying to keep up with it's "normal" output.
Hey.. I have an 2011 Range Rover Supercharged... The suspension icon recently came on.. When I drive it, I can hear, air coming from the passenger side , rear wheel area.. Before, the check suspension icon popped on, I could hear a clunking noise coming from the fuel tank area.. What do you think is going on?
The clunking is probably a failure in a component of the rear suspension. I would just take it to Midas and have them check the rear suspension. As far as the air leaking out...I would have someone get inside of the vehicle while it's running and manually lower and raise the vehicle while you listen out for the sound and spray around the area with soapy water. If there is a leak, you will find it really quick. Probably drive it up on ramps so you can have a better vantage point underneath.
my 2006 RR HSE continually gives me a Suspension Fault but the car is level. When I start the car the suspension light goes off after about 5-10 seconds. After that I cannot lower to raise the car...the switch doesn't do anything and the info display near the speedometer says Suspension Fault and beeps overtime I try to lower or raise the car. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
jhc1229 I'm having problems with my 2005 HSE Range Rover Air Suspension is Inactive. The front of the car is down. i tried resetting it but that didn't work. I'm about to put a new battery in to see if it would reset itself. If that doesn't work whats my next step?
Just disconnect the battery you have now for about 5 minutes then reconnect and see if it resets..If it doesn't work then hit me back and we will go from there.
I have the regular RR and yes I'm now experiencing the system fault for two days now. I just ordered and received a ride height sensor for my right front passenger side. Will this help?
Hi Dwayne, I have a 2008 Range Rover Sport, here is my concern, I broke the valve air on my left tire last night, this morning the car was really low, I fixed it, I turned on the car still low dashboard shows, Special Programs Off HDC, I bought a new battery not even a month ago, any advice? Thanks
Wait I'm don't know if am reading it right...You broke something on the tire or the suspension? What else is the vehicle doing or not doing like it normally should or shouldn't?
Jhc thanks for this video. I'm having a problem with suspension fault, HDC fault. Vehicle lean etc.. . RRS 2007. I've tried hard reset. I've changed brake light switch. Didn't help. Now I'm looking at 4x4 screen and it shows that my tyres are turned 45 degrees to the right while I'm driving completely straight. I think this may be issue as car thinks its turning but actually drives straight? How can I sort this out so my 4x4 screen will show straight wheels?
Hi I have a question about my 2007 Range Rover HSE. I noticed the back passenger side was a little low. I tried to raise it up. It gave me the fault-suspension will lift when system cools. Never raised. Disconnected the battery and plugged it back up. Still wouldn’t lift. Do you think it’s the height sensor? Had compressor change twice. First one was defected. Compressor is about 2-3 years old. I need to check the battery voltage. Please help with any suggestions of you can. Scared to take to 4x4 shop they are going to break my pockets!!! 🤦🏽♀️
I'm sure it's not the compressor. Some autozones, o'reilly's etc..., have good scan tools that can tell you the error code but I'm willing to bet it's the ride height sensor for that corner. You can find the sensors on Rock Auto for $ 35 - $80.
Hi I'm having the same issue for my 2014 sport. I had my battery replaced. But this issue is still happening. Dealership is quoting for all kinds of things to fix so I left. Should I just go to a regular auto repair shop and get the height sensor replaced ?
Hi jhc1229...Thank you for the video. I have a 2011 full size HSE. For 3 weeks the right side would lower down and when I would start the car I could here the compressor turn on and raise the right side back up. I would get the "suspension fault 30mph" message which would come and go. This happened on and off for about 3 weeks. After 3 weeks of the right side raising and lowering the vehicle completely lowered. When I driving it to the shop it would raise back up when I stopped at a light and then it would intermittently happen on the drive. After I got it there it didn't happen to them for about 5 days and during the 5 days they would get several different codes. When the right side finally lowered for them they got a code that the right sensor was bad. They replaced the right sensor and everything was fine until they had it reprogrammed. Once the sensor was reprogrammed the left side then lowered. Now they are getting no diagnostic code on why the left side lowered. They told me they can't drive the vehicle to see if it will raise back up because it will ruin the suspension. They have had my vehicle for over 2 weeks. Do you have any idea why the left side would lower after changing the right side sensor and having it reprogrammed. I am completely frustrated and can't find anything on the internet telling me why this happened. I know if I have it flat bedded to a range rover dealer they are going to tell me that everything to do with the suspension system is going to have to be replaced. You know how much this is going to cost when it appears to be something simple. Please let me know if you or anyone out there has had this problem and what the solution is. Thank you so much.
Honestly they shouldn't have reprogrammed the suspension. I have changed the ride height sensors on at least 30 RR and never once have I reprogrammed anything. It's not necessary. What I would do is, start the vehicle and manually try to raise and lower the vehicle with the height switch. It probably won't do anything but that's ok. I would then disconnect both sensors along with the battery "turn on the headlights" to discharge any juice left in the system wait about 15 minutes and reconnect everything. The suspension computer should correct itself. It has known parameters it needs to be at and it will adjust accordingly. Try that out and let me know how it goes. Good luck brother.
jhc1229 how would you know wich heigh sensor is bad, will the red light blink above the wheel in the diagnostic section? pls let me know i need to order me a new part. thanks so much.
I have an 2007 lr3 it goes to extended mode then after a while it drops all the way down and the suspension fault comes out but on red color any advise please
That sounds exactly like a ride height sensor. It's trying to level itself but can't. I can't tell you which one it is without seeing the vehicle. You will see one corner considerably higher than the others.
I bought a RRS a month ago. it had a 'Suspension lean when cornering message'. The person told me it started to come on since he had changed the alloys to 22inch ones and its not a problem. I found out last week that it has smaller battery which wasn't turning the engine when it cold. I have since changed the battery to 017/019 one but the suspension fault indicator is still on. After watching this video I think it might have been the battery that caused the fault code in the first place. Can someone please tell if the fault code has to be cleared using some diagnostic tool to completely remove it. Thanks.
Joynal Abedin If the fault is gone, you can normally clear it by leaving the battery disconnected for about 5-10 minutes. If it still shows after that than you still have a fault.
Hello I am having problem with my gear changing when it get pass 2 gear it doesn't change into 3rd or 4th.It seem that you really know what you are doing I have a 2006 super charge.
Great video! My 2008 Range Rover Supercharged is having a suspension fault. Replaced battery, alternator is good. Everything looks good on the screen readout. The button on the console to change the height when you start the vehicle has the raised and normal position illuminated, as soon as you shut the doors while it is running and try to change to normal height, it throws the fault and says suspension fault and the terrain response and the height adjustment buttons all lose illumination (except for the high range/low range which still works) The vehicle says suspension fault, and then when you start driving it says 30 mph max. You can go faster, but the engine power is reduced. The vehicle itself is at the normal height position as well as the off road screen readout shows no errors on the height sensors. Any thoughts are much appreciated.
I would go to autozone or checkers or whatever auto parts store you have in your area. Get their code reader and see what codes are being thrown. From there I can help you a lot easier. You're probably having a ride height sensor about to go out.
Yes, I have a code reader, it showed no codes. Is there a code reader out there that will help troubleshoot suspension issues? I've seen a few that claim "total dealer grade diagnostics" like the iland from Atlantic British but am having trouble getting a definitive answer from anyone. I would much prefer to find the problem rather than continue to blindly replace parts or (cringe) take to the dealer.
What does is mean if once i park it , the rear left corner drops but the other 3 corners remain the same? would this also be a ride height sensor problem or is it a leak in that rear left airbag? i also have the suspension fault normal height only message every so often, not all the time but it does come on sometime after driving 5km, sometime after 30km. Once i turn the car on, the rear left corner will rise back up and all levels out again, but drops again once its parked.
If both sides of my front suspension are down, does that typically indicate an issue with both ride height sensors or can a bad sensor on one side drop both sides of the front end?
It can be just be one side to cause the whole front end to drop. Use a scanner and it will tell you which one it is. O'Reillys, NAPA and places like that normally have one you can use for free
Awesome videos! I have my suspension fault come on after it's sitting for a while, and when i turn it off and back on it gets rid of the fault. It rarely comes back on again once I get driving. Doesn't sound like the sensor described in this video, do you think it's most likely the compressor? It doesn't seem like the strut either
Thank you. I have a suspension fault in my 2014 LR4. The rear wheels are at normal height and the front suspension is down on both sides. What does that sound like the problem might be?
Ride height sensor is your culprit. I can't tell which one it is from here but that gets you in the right direction. I would use a scan tool and it will tell you which one it is. .
@@jhc1229 Do think I’ll only have to order one sensor to try out on each side until I figure out which one is bad, or is it likely to be both since both ends of the front end are low? I’m just trying to figure out if I need to order one or two.
Hi my 2006 rr hse 4.4 it's having problems it won't raise at all and I get a suspension fault on the dash when I start it I noticed it was real high about a week ago now it's pretty close to bump stops and I was wondering if you think it was the height sensors because all fours I almost on Bump Stops should I just put the conversion kit on it or try the height sensors thanks
You can do the conversion but you will lose the ride quality. If it was sitting high than sat itself down on the bump stops then yes, you do have a bad ride height sensor. The one that is bad is the corner that was sitting high. If you turn off the car for awhile it should reset. Once you do that, raise the vehicle up manually and the corner that is high is the culprit
jhc1229 I really appreciate your feedback let's see the thing is and raised up on its own and I drove it like that for a day I did receive the suspension fault on the dash first after I drove it for a day with it riding up is Sora level itself out but when I get in the vehicle and try to raise it up or down it does not work at all so I was just thinking cut the chase and get the conversion kit I saw one online for 500 bucks which is pretty cheap a couple other outfits what anywhere from 700 to 1300 for the kit I'm thinking that is the compressor because it's sitting very low not all the way to bump stops but it's slow and I noticed the ride is getting bumpy so it is definitely going towards the bump stops
Thank you excellent video I just purchased a 2009 ranch rover sports supercharge and the backtires are higher than the front ones . Trying to figure out what's the problem every time I press it to lowered it goes down then it goes backup By itself.
I would put a scan tool on it to see what the error code is, but it's 100% one or even both of your ride height sensors on the rear corners. Rock auto has them for reasonable prices.
Hello I have a 2006 Range Rover sport supercharged what is the part number for the ride height sensor and is it the same part for driver and passenger side?

jhc1229, I have an 06 RR Sport Supercharged. About 6 months ago, I had to replace my alternator and battery. It was giving too much juice and my dash went all crazy. Recently, the suspension fault comes up every time I turn the car on, but I can still change my settings. I can change it to snow/mud etc. and from high to low. I've checked the 4x4 and no issues there either. I also don't have any issues with it dropping down. Should I try to reset the ECU or is there something else I'm missing?
I would try disconnecting the battery for about 5- 10 minutes to see if that clears it up. If it doesn't, that means there is a fault but you won't know until it actually "shows" itself if that makes any sense...lol. If disconnecting the battery for a while doesn't work, I would go to an auto parts store and ask to use their scan tool. Plug it up an scan for any codes. If you do get a code let me know and I will be able to help you better. Keep me posted .....
jhc1229 oookay. I disconnected the battery and it didn't do anything. I took it to a friend who's great with cars and we couldn't find anything wrong with it either. He checked for codes, but couldn't get anything to pull up. I also had the battery and alternator checked and those are both good to go. Im thinking I need to have the dealer clear that computer out, unless there's still something I can try?
my range rover sport supercharged 2006 has idling problem, it was serviced and I drove it about 500km and the idling went up to 1000 from the normal 500 raves. what can be the problem?
It could be a vacuum line but during servicing they would inspect the lines..Or I mean to say they should. While the vehicle is running with the hood / bonnet open listen for a whistling sound. It could also be a intake leak or a dirty MAF sensor. Do you have the check engine light on? When you drove the 500km did you notice is your fuel economy was lower than what your normally get? I would listen for a whistle. If you don't hear one, I would go to an auto parts store and buy some MAF cleaner. It comes in a spray can and costs about $7 USD. I would take the intake tube off, take the MAF out and clean it. I'm not sure how mechanically inclined your are but it is not a hard task. It will take maybe 5 minutes to take apart. Spray the MAF let it dry for a few minutes put it back together. Hopefully that helps. Just let me know. Good luck!
im glad i came across this video....i had a problem yesterday with my 06 rr hse...fault codes, cooling xyz i was pissed....i found it raising on its own that whole day. dropped the sensor and all. i tried your method and it say raising bit doesn't. wth! its also very low. idk what 8m gonna do besides 1st pulling out my hair.
Hey Jhc1229. My REAR RIGHT recently threw a fault code. The car drive with the RR dipped (compared to the rest which seemed really high). I would come to car in the morn, all corners normal, RR dipped. Than...plugged in Bluetooth OBD (which couldn't pull non-engine codes) and it raised and lowered in all kinds of funky ways...in the end settling for slammed front, raised REARS... What problem am I dealing with here...Air suspension height control, or height sensors? Any help would be much appreciated.
That's most definitely the height sensor. Lower the vehicle manually. then raise it to normal height and tell me what you see or send me a pic/ video clip. John.chestnut1229@gmail.com
My Range rover HSE is pulling a suspension fault its a 2011 and my screen does not look like yours. Should i just take it to my dealership and tell them that the ride height sensor is out? how do you test your battery and alternator? I doubt I am able to change out my sensor myself. Thanks
Hey, I had the suspension picture and suspension fault message come on last night, but this morning everything was normal. Went to the local AutoZone where the battery, alternator and starter all checked normal. I've been driving and nothing else has happened. I looked at the 4x4 diagram and it all looks normal. What could possibly have caused the fault code and should I be worried about this? I tried sending this in a private message but notice you don't have an email button. Thanks a lot for your help.
