l322 air suspention inactive

[BRUMMY]

Hi Guys
Just fitted some side steps to my l322 td6.
I had to jack up and remove each front wheel and fold back the wheel liner to get access to fit the mudflap bracket.
After i had got the wheels back on and all liners back in place,the message ''air suspention inactive''after i started the wagon, came up and has stayed on.
Did i do something to the height sensors?When i jacked it up.
Any suggestions?
Cheers Paul

I've had a couple of 'funny' things on my '03 L322 that went away after I disconnected the battery for 10 minutes and then re-connected it. Mine weren't to do with the air-suspension, but would be an easy thing for you to try first up.

Hi spudboy, beat me to it.

Hi Brummy, Just try disconnecting the battery and you don’t have to worry about radio codes. They are no longer required.

THANKS GUYS FOR THE ADVICE
UNDID THE BATTERY EARTH,LEFT FOR 30 MINS,RECONNECTED,MESSAGE STILL THERE.
I TRIED THE STEERING LEFT TO RIGHT AND BACK AS SUGGESTED BY SOMEONE, STILL NO GOOD.
HOW LONG CAN I LEAVE THIS,WITHOUT BRINGING ON MORE PROBLEMS.I WOULD PREFER TO GET IT LOOKED AT ON MY NEXT SERVICE,WHICH IS A FEW MONTHS AWAY.
DOES ANYONE HAVE THE ROVECOM COMPUTER SOFTWARE IN SYDNEY TO CLEAR THE FAULT.
CHEERS PAUL

Hi Brummy,
Try sticking key in ignition, start vehicle & turn steering wheel full lock to left, then to right & hopefully all will be ok.;)
Cheers.

Next time you jack it up, leave the drivers side door open and she wont self level.
You have probably gone past the safe droop limit and one of the 14 ECU's is not happy, nip down to the dealer and clear the codes.
These are very nice cars but can be friggin expensive if your not under the warranty umbrella...good luck.

Thanks Dirtydawg and Sneagy
Tried the steering left to right,still have the message.
Its going to be down to the Land Rover Stealer i guess.......

HI GUYS
THE PLOT THICKENS.PAID A VISIT TO CREMORNE PRESTIGE YESTERDAY,THEY PUT THE COMPUTER ON ...NOTHING FROM THE COMPRESSOR TO ALL THE AIR SPRINGS.I COULD NOT LEAVE THE CAR WITH HIM AS WE WERE GOING AWAY TODAY AND ALTHOUGH BEFORE IT HAD AIR SUSPENTION INNACTIVE'' IT STAYED AT NORMAL RIDE HEIGHT ,SO I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE OK TO USE FOR THE WEEKEND, AND BOOK IN FOR MONDAY.AS I DROVE AWAY THE LIGHTS ON THE HEIGHT GAUGE WERE FLASHING ON THE LOWEST AND NORMAL,NEXT WITHIN 100 METRES THE BACK GOES DOWN TO THE BUMP STOPS WITH THE MESSAGE ''SELFLEVELLING' DO NOT EXCEED 60KPH''
ALL THE FLASHING SUSPENTION LIGHTS HAVE GONE OFF BUT THE FRONT IS AT NORMAL HEIGHT.
I CALLED THE GUY AT PRESTIGE AND HE SAID ONCE THE COMPUTER READS THE FAULTS IT DOES ITS OWN THING TO CORRECT THE FAULT AND THATS WHY THE BACKS GONE DOWN,...TRYING TO LEVEL THE CAR.
HOW COULD JACKING UP A CAR CAUSE THIS MUCH GRIEF.......
ITS IN ON MONDAY.
NOT SURE IF I AM TELEPATHIC, BUT I CAN SEE AN IMAGE OF AN EMPTY WALLET IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS...................

Didn't do any drilling to get those side steps on did ya?
Lots and lots of wiring and sensors on these suckers, acccidentally knock one off.
As for empty wallet..without a warranty you got it in one....

Hi Brummy,
Any news on an outcome???

[BRUMMY]

Hello again,
I put the rangy into Trivitt at Mascot for an estimate of repairs as this was close to my work at the airport.
2, 3, 4 days went by. No email, phone or text. Went away on a work trip, came home still nothing.

By this time 11 days had passed. I had emailed 3 times, phoned..nothing. I finally got through to the service manager who said he had no record of who the owner was of my car and no repairs had been done.

Now I am about to go down with an axe and kill this person. I told him I would come and take the car to Graham Cooper 'round the corner. To cut a long story short, I had the car repaired on the house, and when I saw the work sheet it was two pages long.

New compressor, seals, pipes ect. Water had got into the boot and when I jacked the car up it flooded the compressor which is located under the spare wheel.

It runs like a dream now.
So thats the sad story, with a happy ending.
Paul

Not sure where you purchased your L322 - however I've now visited Alto Land Rover in Artarmon (closest dealer to me - 250kms from home) twice during my trips to the big smoke and on each occasion they reset the EAS inactive for free and even included a full diagnosis printout - my solenoid exhaust valve if leaking - this is a typical problem in EAS systems with RRC and P38s when a tiny bit of rubber from a bellow lodges itself on the valve surface and leaks.

Next time I have a few spare minutes, I pull apart the solenoid valve and clean it and then get the ECU code messages reset.

It might well be time for me to pull out my box of RovaCom lite gear and get it fired up to work on the L322!
