Hi All,

Yesterday, I took my lovely 2004 L322 TD6 in for an MOT. The air suspension, etc, all worked fine. The mechanic, as part of the MOT, lifted the Vogue so the wheels all hung down. The MOT over, the fault message appeared re air suspension inactive.

I phoned the mechanic. That was a waste of time.

I have a GAP IID tool but all I get is:

1. ABS-Brake Module: 0x8A Air suspension system CAN error

2. EAS-Suspension: 0x64 Articulation Validity Fault

3. LCM-Light Control v12+ 0x57 Air suspension active/inactive

Can I restart the air suspension via the GAP IID Tool?

Cheers

Gary

No idea if the GAP tool can 'restart' the suspension but likley a height sensor became faulty after being fully articulated. Can you get any height readings for each wheel from the GAP IID tool to see if any are out of range? What does it look like on the onboard 4X4 screen - any heights not showing level? 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Thanks JayGee, I'll run a check once I find how to do so with Gap IID (I need an idiots guide)

My autel can deactivate and activate the suspension so I would imagine the Gap tool could. As Jaydee says probably a sensor acting up but might be no harm to recalibrate it now anyhow. Current yokes

Given the wheels were dropped whilst the car was lifted I’d be inclined to check each of the height sensors to see if they have flipped though 180 degrees or even if the link arm has been broken off the sensor.

Thanks everyone,

As soon as I get the Vogue back from the welders I'll run these checks.

Cheers

If it helps ive just fixed mine today it was down to one wheel speed sensor, once replaced all good

Thanks Rik,

I'll test for that

The iidtool reports two errors:

1. Articulation fault
2. Front left sensor

I'll change the sensor.

Cheers

Check the wiring and the connector first. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Hi JG,

I checked the unit and wiring. All seems OK but I've ordered a replacement as the IID Tool keeps showing this as a fault.

The next time she has to go in for an MOT, should I set the suspension in 'Transport Mode'

Regards

Gary

No need to set it in transport mode. Do a recalibration once the new unit is fitted and maybe test the other sensors to make sure the pivots are free and not sticky or stiff. Like me you may want to buy a spare front and rear sensor to keep in the car so you are not left stranded by the side of the road if another one fails. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the advice. When the new unit arrives, I'll fit it and check the calibration. I have got the hang of the IID Tool now.

Cheers

Gary
