Now that my lamda fault seems to be corrected it appears that my RR still wants to haunt me. I have inner tie rod ends to replace this week. Easy stuff. I've been seeing random HDC inactive without codes, occasional radial motor faults, air suspension inactive with the following codes in various combinations:

Random HDC Inactive usually points to battery?

Thanks I will check. Couple weeks ago at shop to find the front end clunk they did a general check and check sheet said battery was showing age and should consider replacement soon. I thought that was because it had gone weak from sitting while sorted the misfire. Figured they are just trying to sell me a battery. |

Opened up the spare tire well to check pressure valve to find about 1/2 inch of water. The valve was half submerged and the water was around the base of the pump. I'm assuming at this time this is causing the problem. This is a new water leak. Wasn't there last year. I know there a couple of places the water gets it. It is not in the side wells and just in the tire well. The lift gate gaskets was not wet. The the lift gate to tailgate was dry. The lip of the tire well cover was wet. The metal lip edge under it was wet. Does this point to the entrance?

I'm getting the feeling there has been more Jerry-rigging back here. Compressor was dry but this valve does not look like the one in the RAVE. I'm assuming the cylinder on the end of the T valve is the exhaust valve. If it gets wet should it be replaced or just dried out.

That is the PRV - pressure relief valve. I would just take it off and dry it, give a good clean. It is not the type you drill a hole in. In fact it can be removed altogether: http://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/post268013.html#268013

Thanks. Funny that the RAVE shows the plastic one for the connector. It also says the system doesn't need to be depressurized to disconnect this union. Do you agree? I could just find a threaded plug for this connector.

All dried out and back together. Got about 30 miles and no suspension fault. Still saw HDC warning on start up. Now to find where the leak is getting in. |
