Suspension Fault

Hi All,

I have recently started to experience a "Suspension Fault" warning coming up when I initially start the car, but only if parked on uneven ground, if I move a few feet, switch off and restart the fault goes away...…

I have chatted to a few other owners and one has come up with a possible solution, water ingress into the sensor wire, causing corrosion in the copper and affecting the voltage the sensor is getting, causing the fault....

Apparently LR have a sensor wire fix for this, where you get a new plug for the sensor and 300 mm of wire to cut off the old wired and solder in the new one.

My question to the collective is this...can any one corroborate this, and have a part number so I can order four kits to replace all the sensor wires before I start looking at replacing sensors

I've had the codes read by a JLR specialist and its not very helpful other than identifying the air reservoir takes a while to vent.....

Any help or guidance appreciated.

If it was a electrical issue at one or more sensors there would be codes stored to support that. Sounds like you need to invest in your own diagnostic kit, further investigation needed in order to confirm problem!

I think you've jumped to a conclusion without getting the codes properly read. Rolling Eyes
If you want to randomly throw money at your car, replacing bits until you hit the fault, go right ahead.
Always get the codes read and go from there. Thumbs Up

Suspension Codes for 2008u D£

Codes read using JLR Diagnostics software:

C1A13- Pressure does not decrease when venting gallery - Presume this is Compressor related so will remove, clean and recondition

U0132- Lost Communication with Ride Level Control Module - Wiring to sensor or CANBUS?
U0421- Invalid data received from ride level control module - Wiring to sensor or CANBUS?

As I said in my OP have heard that LR have released a kit to replace the plug and about 12" of wire to splice into the existing harness, does anyone have a part code for this kit?

TIA

C1A13 is the important one, stuck or sticking exh valve.
