Two simultaneous faults would drop it to the bump-stops, eg ABS sensor + brake switch.Quote:

I am surprised that such clever blokes as Graeme and Gordon haven't come up with something to stop the car dropping to the bump stops for faults that do not even involve the suspension.
I can't believe that LR think it is necessary to drop the car to the bump stops when it detects failures. This must be one of the worst "features" of our cars. It needs a proper fail safe for all of its systems that can get you home, not something that causes you more grief than the original failure. We need a clever software engineer to change this for us.

Gordon does have a kit to pump it back up when it does drop :).Quote:

Yes, and I have the GOE emergency pump up kit.
Would be nice if Llams would over ride the software but I'm not sure if it does. We'll see what Graeme has to say about it.
Bob
LLAMS recovery mode might work in this situation. From the LLAMS thread in the Verandah section
A minor feature has been added to Llams - "recovery mode". It is to provide off-road height when the suspension system has lowered the vehicle to a "safe" height due to a reported ABS fault. The original Llams at +50 provides only about normal height, which might not be high enough if an ABS fault occurrs when at off-road height and really needed.
Garry
Another good reason to have Llams!
Graeme, can you confirm that Llams can be used to raise the car in the event of the twin failures that Gordon was referring to? We just need to have the instructions on us to understand how to use the extra push button on the latest Llams to get these extra features when needed.
Bob
The Llams instructions for recovery mode are on page 2 here

But it only says from safe height @ access height.
If the car has faulted such that it is on the bump stops and won't raise on a restart, then the EAS is disabled. Playing with the sensor voltages, either via LLAMS or rods won't raise the vehicle.

There's no mention in the 2007 suspension system documentation that multiple ABS ecu-reported faults is treated any differently to a single fault. Perhaps conditions were omitted from that documentation or have been introduced since.Quote:

Llams can only raise if the suspension ecu is prepared to maintain the vehicle at a height above the bump-stops.Quote:
