Thread: BONG INACTIVE SUSPENSION, HDC fault

When mine did that it was the front right wheel height sensor out of range. Only did it occasionally - usually when I hit a bump.

How does it drive? I got the steering angle sensor errors when my wheel alignment was out badly. My steering wheel was out about 20° though!!

Dives ok. no issues there.

Well I raided my stock and pinched 2 front height sensors ( I shouldn't do that, I'll go Broke LOL.) I notice the New Genuine Land Rover ones have a part superseded number and Land Rover uses a plastic connecting link instead of the original steel link. Cheap skates.
I found the connector plugs had retainer broken clips on the plug but they were pretty tight though. I fitted the new height sensors and cleared faults, she rose to correct height and I took her for a drive, she seemed too ride better, drove for a few kms, then "Bong" and the faults came back, so I'm going to have to spend some more time looking at earths and connectors. Fault codes on IIdtoolBt only give a general fault code and description, but it doesn't pin point the actual point of fault eg, if it is a left wheel sensor or the like.

I had to spend money on her the other day and raided the larder for a couple of new rear upper tail gate struts that decided to go and hit me on the head the other cold morning.

Bugger. Yeah, the replacement I bought had a plastic linkage but is still working fine to the best of my knowledge. Hope you track it down soon.

Gav, I'm going to unscrew all earth points I can find and clean them, there is body paint on all connections, just to eliminate a possible intermittent earth problem ,I'll wire brush and spray the connections with contact cleaner.
today's faults
The Can bus fault makes me think its a connection some where, and today I got a boot pressure sensor fault today, it has a new boost sensor I recently fitted.
The ABS ECU , there is an earth connection on the body, so will wire brush it and clean it.

Hey Mario do you remember how you fixed this I'm having similar problems

Not sure what Mario found with his, but I had a wheel height sensor out of adjustment, but had this happen with low battery volts too.
