Sport Suspension Issue

RickRanger · Aug 4, 2022

New to the forum, hope to help out where I can. Owned a 2007 Range Rover Sport since 2015, great vehicle, couldn’t be happier, performed usual maintenance like oil changes, brakes, control arms etc., no major issues until now. Vehicle starts fine, no warning lights on until I drive over 10 MPH. Then I get a “SUSPENSION LOWERED” message, the “AMBER BRAKE LIGHT” comes on, along with the “VEHICLE STABILITY” icon and the “ATTENTION TRIANGLE” encircled. I can still drive it normally at any speeds, but it is definitely unstable. I can shut it off and restart it, and everything returns to normal until I exceed 10 MPH, then it starts again. After doing some research and reading that voltage and a weak battery could be the problem I replaced the battery, but the problems continue. Looking to replace the alternator next. Electrical issues are not my forte. Any advice on this issue would be greatly appreciated. (Thanks Dippypud)

Changing stuff without diagnosis can be expensive. The new battery, did you fully charge it before fitting? If not it will be no better than the one you took out. Before chucking money at a new alternator, check the voltage at the battery with the engine running, you might need to rev it to 2K rpm, you should see about 14.7 volts. If less than that, put a jump lead from the battery negative to the engine and try again then report back.
