If a height sensor was broken it wouldn't sit level and if an ABS sensor was out you would have a bunch of lights on the dash on from ABS to HDC to EBD...etc

If they had it on a ramp with the wheels dangling down it can move the height sensors into a dirty part of their track and cause all sorts of problems.

Mine would jam the breaks on and then go into fault mode and deactivate everything.

A height sensor passing through a "dirty" area would be an "at the time" fault, as soon as it moved back it would not show a fault any more... The sensors are just a very cheap but reliable Hall effect sensor that is totally sealed, they don't get dirty inside...

The theory is they drag dirt back into the used part and as you say mine cleared after a while but as always decent RR diagnostics is the key I have found |

Phone Dan and he'll send you an IID tool next day... no great rush with yours, if the suspension is still at normal height... |

if you can find a genuine one in the uk you can use their software, (or find somebody who has one as they are not locked to a vehicle), i believe but you would need to contact them to check, there were some crap copies floating around ebay that won't work. if not it's a case of ordering from the states which will take 2 -3 weeks at a guess but well worth the wait in my opinion. i am a bit out of touch with what else is on the market but i do know the allcomss is brilliant and although i have a faultmate extreme i still use the allcomms more often |

Thanks for the advice, i think as my car looks poo sitting so low i need something ASAP, i have found standard IID tool on ebay next day delivery for just under £300 so i think ill invest in that, just to get the code read and fault cleared to see if that does the trick.

I would gladly help out with the allcomms but the faultmate is vin locked with a €50 each way transfer fee.
