So I have this fault and a google seems to suggest it’s a big issue on discos - there is a multi connector in the nsf arch and the wire to the sensor corrodes..

If I read the eas module it’s showing pressure on all corners all is above board but for some reason I can’t see reservoir pressure not sure if that’s the iid tool limitation or the fault Current stable:

Right - I have (I think) identified the problem - the reservoir pressure sensor that’s in the Wheel well was soaking wet inside the plug . Disconnecting it makes no difference to the fault codes so I have ordered a replacement over expensive sensor.

Before you change the switch, check the harness connector for corrosion, you might need new pigtails for the connector housing. I'd also recommend finding out how and where from the water got in to prevent reoccurrence.

The connector that plugs into the sensor? That clean and I sprayed with contact cleaner and dried.

With the best will in the world, you can't check the condition of the connector electrical contacts without removing them from the housing, are the pins in the sensor corroded or discoloured at all? if so, then so will be the contacts in the connector housing - even if not, you should be checking them as a matter of course, if there is any corrosion at all, it will spread to the new sensor.

No corrosion on any of the pins and I soaked the whole plug in contact cleaner so hopefully that should do the job.

Contact cleaner isn't what you (probably) think it is - it removes grease and oils, that's it. It doesn't remove corrosion or check pin grip, or replace contact plating.
