View Full Version : Air suspension error message

In the last few days an error message has been popping up on the dash saying something like "Only normal suspension height is available" and when I look at the suspension control buttons there is no light illuminated to show that the car is in the normal position.

I stop the car, switch off the engine, wait a few moments, start the car and it all works fine again. Once I had to repeat the process after driving just a few hundred metres and that time I raised and lowered the suspension after re-starting the car and all was well for the rest of the day.

Is this something that I need to be worried about - ie is it the start of a break down in the air suspension system, or just a glitch due to some dirt or whatever getting into the sensors?

Thanks for any advice.

Certainly there is a problem with the suspension system. The stored fault codes need to be read before the suspension decides to drop to the bump-stops when the condition gets worse.

Thanks Graeme - looks like another visit to the dealer while we are traveling [bawl]

Any IIDtool for a D3/D4/RRS/RR will be able to read the fault codes.
