Hello all! Currently stuck in Mt Isa with a suspension fault. Most of the mechanics places I've rung are well booked out.

I've got the fault code from my gap tool, and rung MR Automotive which both seem to suggest a valve block problem, or maybe a height sensor. Does anyone have any suggestions or have a driveway I can use to pull the blocks out? Cheers

What are the fault codes?
What was the very first indication that there might be a problem?

Repeat every 3-4 km. No real pattern. Tried all height modes. Cheershttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220815/b28bc67291920390a47029c737dd1054.jpg

I would start the engine to allow the vehicle to get up to height then before the fault occurs remove the 20A suspension system fuse that's in the engine bay fuse box. The suspension then won't be able to lower any corner.

If 1 corner drops then that corner has a bad leak with a high probability of a leaking air-spring.

Hi all, Cheers and thanks. We've made it to Home Hill after MacGyvering a temp solution that seems to be holding. An auto elec friend in Brisbane tracked down a you tube video of a fellow with the exact same fault. I haven't got the link to it I've attached the screenshots he sent tho. In his case, and mine (so far), loose or worn height sensor rods will throw that error. I am running aftermarket LRE rods that were indeed loose and worn, due to many height changes I suspect. I left my OEM rods at home so I tightened them with cable ties! Been error free for 1100km so far! In this case trying something worked! Thanks everyone for the offers of assistance and helpful suggestions.

Thanks for coming back and letting us know what went on. [thumbsupbig] Many of these threads end up as dead ends when searching for info on faults. [bigwhistle] Someone asks a question and many give answers but there is no resolution or fix from the OP.
