Hi all - my ff as you may have seen has the dreaded air suspension inactive fault. After diagnosis I am getting canbus error come back from it... I have a canbus stereo mod that been in since April couldn’t see it being this so disconnected it and I retrofitted the gateway module some time ago so will do the same for that, so where do I start to look then? Is this common? Current stable:

Right been up on this glorious rain now I have all ‘aftermarket’ canbus devices disconnected and off the canbus lines ... still get the same air suspension inactive faults... any ideas? Current stable:

Are you clearing all errors ?

The air suspension faults that the EAS raise get logged within the air suspension ECU and the headlight ECU.

If you only clear the air suspension ECU, then at the next start up, the headlight ECU reports to the car the suspension error it has stored.... which in turn the air suspension ECU records for itself again.

You have to clear both the air suspension ECU and the headlight module as well. V8 or else ...

Cleared all the faults - now just have a fault stored in abs for steering angle sensor is this the possible cause? Cheers Current stable:

I had all sorts of those fault codes, eventually I replaced the steering angle sensor and it fixed them all.

Did you manage to take the shortcut of removing the four bolts without removing the dash? And did the lights go out without recoding or did it need coding first? Current stable:

Also aside from no traction or abs is it causing any harm driving it as is? It blows up and drops on startup ok and isn’t on the bump stops from what I can tell Current stable:

I had this and it was my ABS module that had gone squiffy. Replaced it and all has been well.

What I would do first though is to reinitialise the steering angle sensor with the IIDtool, you’ll have to this anyway if you replace the ABS module as it stores info from the sas.

Ok - shall I check the abs plug? Also can I drive like this? Current stable:

Have a look for corrosion in the plug and any dampness, and as you've probably noticed the suspension works ok on the road. The only thing was I couldn't adjust the suspension, but mine was intermittent only failing when the engine temps got up to normal and the heat was expanding a soldered joint causing the fault. It's very common apparently ______________________________

Dan, I got the 4 bolts out without tsking the dasjha aprt via short cut, but a sod of a job for access, ended up taking the dash apart to refit as I was wrooried about cross threading the upper bolts, acces is a sod, once dash out it was a quick refit.
I used iidtool BT to renew the sensor recoginition and then cleared all faults,
Cheers,

Can it be coded without iid tool I have pa soft and I have inpa? Anyone done it completely without dash removal? Current stable:

Also is it hard to get in the right place or is there a master spline?

As a side note I’m guessing the sat nav gets data from the steering sensor as it is great in a straight line but it won’t work out you’ve turned off it then has to catch up Current stable:
