But what warning messages are coming up on the dash - is it the same message or does it change?

Same orange warning every time. It's had a problem before and tracked it down to a hight sensor not plugged in correctly it would throw a red light and drop
On its guts snap on tool picked that one up

Do you know if the suspension ecu software was updated for the AMK compressor when the AMK was fitted? The s/w is compressor specific.

Even more blind then - with the high line instrument cluster at least you also get a text message which can vary depending on the actual fault and this can give more clues (or confuse you more).

Changed all the orings in the system and still fags out and runs the compressor for ages for no known reason I can clearly see why this junk gets binned and coils fitted. Frustrating is not a strong enough description of this disaster

I am in Canberra and have a Gap iid tool. It is VIN locked to my car, but I am not sure if that means it won’t read anything in another vehicle. Others will chime in, no doubt. If you want to give it a go, PM me. Cheers.

You can read the codes of any car - you just don’t have all the additional functionality on the non-VIN vehicle.

Could it be something like a faulty height sensor? Just wondering because you said it’s doing weird things when lowering the height.

Success we'll maybe thanks to tote for coming past to plug me in we were getting no where till we played with the live data and spotted one of the hight sensors reading way out to the others and with some more ups and downs got it to throw a code.

so when I get a chance ile look in to it. it was still reading as it went up and down but just way out of range to the others so ile check the connector is good and look for a bent mounting bracket maybe and try a recalibration if that fails a new sensor.

Update time so I fitted a new hight sensor still playing up so decided to calibrate the sensors a straight fowArd procedure I thought till it brought up the red warning light of death check codes suspension module has now failed by the looks repeated efforts to clear the code failed no suspension function at all. Time to sell this **** box and buy a Toyota seems by the time they reach 300.000k there rooted

Try a hard reset, and start the calibration again. It can get a bit 'Microsoft Windows' sometimes.

And if that doesn't work, don't forget reset option 2 -pull out and reinstall fuse 17. I must find out how long to leave it disconnected - maybe until car goes back to sleep?
