I've just had the same and it was one of the height sensors. The small ball joint had corroded and snapped off ! Got a new one from Dan and fitted - left a few days and fault cleared itself without having to resort to diagnostic plug-in reset |

If you look in each wheel arch just at the rear of the wheel you should see a long thin arm (about 5-6 ")that at one end is attached to the lower arm and the other end to the vehicle body. There is a joint in the arm to allow it to pivot and it also has an electrical plug on the end of its attached cable that plugs in to a socket next to the chassis attachment of the arm. On mine it was the front nearside and you could see the remains of the long arm hanging down and swinging free. I ordered one from Dan and it was @£22

Yes - they are fitted to each side - front and rear. Once the road wheel is off its a 15 minute job to remove the old one and fit the new one. Tools required were -

@boys, first allways the battery, when older as three years buy a new one, second the high-sensor-contacts, and third last but not least the compressor when from 2002-2005, here in germany now the most have new compressors inside (or repaired), also is the sensor of the reservoir a good friend of bad contact, the cable to it is to short, therefore it comes to contact with the metal of the body.

Just done one myself - I used the GAP Diagnostics IID tool to diagnose mine. When testing the EAS up and down, I got some strange readings from the FR sensor, and 'Vehicle Height Validity Error' or something like that. Replaced it, and all is good, although I found a small leak from the FL airbag soon after when the vehicle was lowered to access height. When at normal height, all ok, so SWMBO is not allowed to lower it again until the new air springs arrive - hopefully tomorrow.

i had a similar problem with a customers 322 last week, after several hours of diagnostics it turned out to be the multi plugs on the eas ecu. the plugs were being pulled by the main harness and caused bad contacts on the ecu, adjusted the position of the loom and sorted the multiplugs out and so far its been fine with no problems since. |

its just to the left of the glove box, no need to take the glove box out though. send the seat back as far as it will go for extra room then you have to take the panel of that holds the venture cam, you will also need to unclip the black end panel of the dash so you can get to the screw thats hidden behind it. fairly straight forward and only takes about ten minutes to do, good luck and i hope it fixes your problem. |

a venture cam is basicly a mobile camera you put on the out side of the car for off roading and sighting obsicles, it shows the images on the screen in the cab. not all of them had it fitted though. |
