It wasn’t an IID Tool. Phoenix brought it. I should have noticed what it was. Had its own built in colour screen. Might have been Icarsoft or similar. He will be able to advise better.

It's an old-style Autologic

good work folks, just shows a real understanding of how all the items depend on each other are required for this type of troubleshooting!!

It does sound like the contacts are 'baggy' or possibly corroded.

I get a C0110F Right rear solenoid is open or shoted 2012 Vogue 4.4 TDV8 - Current

Then it's probably not corrosion, most likely continual pull on the harness and change in temperature causing the connector to open up. When you replace the connector, make sure there is a bit of slack in the harness near the connector, use a cable-tie or two if necessary, a loose moving mass of wiring can be just as bad as something too tight as far as connectors are concerned. |

Quite the opposite - the higher the resistance the lower the current flow. |

Thank you phoenix your time on this and for the post (a few) above. Very informative.

I have Icardoft V2 i cannot see the voltages but i can see nm and amps + the accelerometers

I guess the likelihood for a height sensor to fail is pretty high on these L322's

It *may* be able to - the Autologic was developed alongside LR's own product development - not quite with LR's blessing but there were 'conversations' as I understand it. Now back to the issue of checking voltages etc. All the inputs are analogue, so it's possible to monitor (albeit only as many as you have voltmeters to hand) and compare to the published measurements without plug-in diagnostics, which what what I was expecting to have to do if the static A-B checks were OK. Accelerometers, these should all read the same with a +/- 0.05VDC tolerance - on a static test Height sensors - these are more difficult but should be in the range of 0.3 to 4.7VDC, the key is smooth transition when reacting to movement, the fronts have a bigger variance than the rears and broadly, the LH of the vehicle voltages will rise when the RH of the vehicle falls and vice-versa when the suspension is commanded in the opposite direction, on a static test Outputs are more difficult to test without specific equipment, but a voltmeter across the output of the module will indicate activity on a road test if the inputs are valid (to the control unit, not necessarily correct measurements) and the output circuit is intact. what won't set a DTC is garbage inputs, hardware defects (a leaking or jammed damper) or even sometimes poor connections or corroded wiring. For example, the voltage differential on mjdronfield's accelerometer could be due to a resistive connection rather than a low output voltage, only further testing will confirm - the current in sensor circuits is so low that a resistance check wouldn't show up anything meaningful - which is why most marques now train technicians to either use a dummy load (with both ends of the circuit isolated) or check for volt drop on the mV scale. Sometimes the only valid indication of a defect is an A-B roadtest - which thanks to Haylands we were able to do, it confirmed both suspected areas of concern needed further work / investigation. |
