Thread: My new IID tool and the faults I've found - and what do they mean?

Gav
Not sure but your compressor may need a re-build kit. Sounds familiar to some I've seen on Fullfatr

Also here is a link to a comprehensive list of the fault codes.

Thanks Laurie, but the compressor is almost brand new, and punching out 188PSI. The car goes up and down quite fast. I've been reading some stuff on other forums, and the majority seem to point towards the wheel height sensor, which is what I first thought, but I am wondering now how to confirm this. Mind you at $36 it ain't gunna kill me if I go out an buy one...

Nice list of fault codes - I have been looking for something like that.

ARTICULATION VALIDITY FAULT = the ECU thinks - "A height sensor has indicated that the suspension has moved to a position that should be mechanically impossible."

Essentially this is one of the analogue problems I referred to in another thread, the ECU is receiving a voltage from that sensor that is well out of range. This may be very intermittent as either there is a bad connection or short in the loom or the semiconductor material in the sensor is breaking down. Check connectors then replace height sensor. Question is where is the voltage going? If it is over voltage it is the sensor for sure (unless a small short in loom) - under voltage (more likely) is either sensor or connector.

Laurie's list is only for OBD2 standard codes. Remember LR only followed the standard for the Engine ECU.

Gav, your IID has paid for its self already.

Absolutely! I'm one happy chappy at the moment. About to go and play a bit more and see if I can narrow it down.

Well, definately strange figures coming from the front RH sensor - it is way out compared to the others, and had a couple of odd figures while going up and down, so I think I'll bung a new sensor in there, and do a calibration of the system and see where that gets me.

Can you swap the sensors from side to side as per the P38... just a thought to confirm dud sensor... cheers

Good thought, but there are different part numbers for each side - I have had a look though, and that could be just a different bracket - not sure. They aren't expensive anyway - even in Aus, only $85 - I can get one landed from Old Blighty for about $55 - ($36 plus postage), but not going to bother for that amount.

Well done Gav.

This would make me believe it is the sensor too. It will be a really odd figure that will trigger the inactive faults. A loom problem would be more likely with road vibration ect, and I would expect it to appear normal most of the time with the odd huge variation.

Can you take the sensor arm off the suspension component and move it by hand, simulate road bumps.
