Also worth checking the reservoir underneath they do corrode and can leak

^.......and associated pipework.  ... - .- -.




Y. O. L. O.
.

I posted this a while back, and it's been mostly behaving. Until yesterday and came out of work to find the rear end sitting on the stops.

Weirdly no error - yesterday.

But I have, over the last few weeks been finding this error come up:

C1A06-1C - Right rear height sensor - circuit voltage out of range

Surely related?

I goggled around a bit, found a connector issue on a D3 forum. https://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/another-air...29841.html

Might have a dig around underneath this weekend.

Will look for corrosion again as earler replies have suggested ( ) and but do we think the random rear drop and the rear height sensor issue are connected?

Thoughts very welcome, thanks chaps.
. Cheers, Greg

just adding the IID screenshot:

Haven't been under the car yet but found this in the workshop manual:

Quote:

Periodic Re-leveling
When the vehicle is parked, the air suspension control module 'wakes up' two hours after the ignition was last switched off and then once every twenty four hours. The vehicle height is checked and if the vehicle is not level within a pre-set tolerance, small downwards height adjustments may be made automatically.

Quote:

Also the code ^ does not say LH or RH which is weird.

Your screenshot says "rear right height sensor"....  .

Hi Team,

Well I finally got around to pulling my rear right weel off, just to do an initial visual check of the sensor.

The valve is easily unclipped from its 3 pronged mounts then lowered although you might want to remove the liner for best access. I had mine out a week ago when swapping front and rear valve blocks tracking down the reason for the front lowering overnight.

That split conduit is not original as the wires are bare for the last couple of inches.

Just a minor update; as above ^^ I re-plugged the connector with some contact get and lashed up the exposed wires and open conduit with electrical tape two weeks ago.

Whilst it's a bit too soon to add 'solved' to the topic header, I've not had one suspension error on the dash (which was getting more frequent) .

These RSD's were getting more frequent too, one or two a week. But no overnight rear end drops last two weeks either. The daytime one at work was a bit embarrassing.

I'll give it a bit longer - touch wood and fingers crossed.

Greg. Cheers, Greg

Greg, why not apply same treatment to remaining tree sensors. it won't hurt none.

Nino

Definitely Nino, I already did the other side rear. I put this stuff on any connectors I remove, inside or out.

There are others, but I've just used this product for years on boats:

I use CorrosionX, first recommended by Haylands.

Nino,

Don't know if this is related but I am new to ffrr and coming from disco to ffrr but a lot of disco owners where getting gremlins in the electrics due to using car washes , the high pressure hoses wetting out and corroding connectors mine only got a blast after off roading , but having said that they are all Landrover and as we know they just do what they want and back Again for no reason . I am a big believer in undersealing and mine will be getting the full treatment once I know how she goes , for me it protects electrics and b/pipes etc from corrosion
Cheers henda

@henda

That is why you will see quite a few FFRR owners on here only wash their cars once a year  .
