Happy new year all. Hope you’re all having a better day than me?

Anyone online that can give me 5 mins please? Be really appreciated in beer tokens or whatever.

Sitting in my car as I type and I can’t erase the error code above. Disco 3 auto 2008
I’ve been getting suspension fault normal height only error for weeks now.
Remembered seeing a post from Stuart about setting the heights and tried to do so.
Then I get this permanent error.
Can’t erase it and when I try to enable the suspension it’s not happening.
When I flick height switch up as directed it says the arrow will stay lit until process is finished.
When I flick switch up the up and down arrows flash a couple of times and that’s it.
Obviously when I drive it now it’s on the bumps.

I’m using an Autel maxi ap200
Can’t afford a gap

Cheers

Hi and happy new year... unfortunately there's no way around this other than calibrating the system with a 100% compatible tool which has advanced calibration functions available, i'm affraid that the generic Autel is not up to that job

Timmers · Wednesday at 14:32

Hi Sierra thank you.
Ok. I should have left it alone

Was only causing minimal issues but just annoying.
Anyone with a gap tool near Warminster?

Cheers

Check it's not still in tight tolerance mode, you can't calibrate the heights if it is, and will give the DTC above.

BTW, 'normal height only' is not usually caused by height sensor calibration issues, successful calibration needs any underlying defects (such as low compressor output) to be rectified first, otherwise calibration will fail and you can't restore the previous calibration unless you have something like Autologic or SDD

Thanks.

I’ve managed to get it back into normal mode somehow. . When I work it out I’ll post what I did. Only fronts looks like they’re on the bumps.

AP200 should be able to calibrate suspension height OK, but as I said, the system needs to be operating correctly first, maybe try a battery disconnect/reconnect in case something has locked out?

Thanks again.
If the compressor has an issue which it might. I get an error saying raising slowly.
Could this cause the height calibration not to work correctly anyway?

Graculus · Wednesday at 16:17

'Probably' - it could also be a blocked desiccant drier or a leak, but yes, unless the whole system is operating correctly, then the height calibration will fail.

Ok cool. I apologise because you did mention that in your earlier post.
You’ve been really helpful.
I sense a trip to my local garage coming in as I’ve never tackled anything like this before nor do I have the time.
On the other hand I don’t have buckets of cash either.

Thanks again.

What's your location? someone may be able to recommend a workshop that knows what they're doing...

Great if they do.
