I Bloody thought so......
Ages and ages ago, some one asked if the L322 levels upwards periodically when the vehicle is locked and switched off - I said 'No, like the P38 it will only lower to the lowest corner....' this was disputed by some, but I never looked it up as I was new to L322 ownership and knew nothing more of it....
Since then I have been saying it will level upwards while there is air in tha tank as well as down like the P38....
After research further.....Here is the paragraph proclaiming I was bloody right in the first place....

So in my little test if he wakes up and the car is on the floor then there is most likely a leak
If the vehicle if still at full height then almost certainly no leak !

Sorry to bump up an old thread,
i too have an air suspension inactive warning on my car, which is the same model (2002 v8 vogue)
an email from the previous owner says this:
HI Chris
I had left lights on car over night a few days a go and battery had gone flat. I had to take battery out and get a garage to recharge battery. The Air suspension light came on after. It comes on after battery flat or battery change. Follow this video and it will go off. How to reset the air suspension inactive warning Range Rover - YouTube
Other than this no I do not know. No problem with actual air suspension before.
^^ is he going crazy i've tried this and nothing? from what i've read if i disconnect the battery and wait twenty minutes, full lock each way will clear the errors,
being an IT guy touching the inside of an engine aren't my usual thing but i'm willing to give it a go.

Not an old thread only a few weeks old!!
Your previous owner reply is partly right...
On disconnection of the battery, you do have to perform the 'From Centre to Full Lock Left, hold for a couple of seconds...then full lock Right and hold then back to centre...' recalibration of the Steering Angle Sensor....
the SAS is used in the ABS, DSC, HDC and EAS system to determine steering input commands along with vehicle speed and ride height in order to maintain the Stability Control Systems...
Until you perform this you will get DSC, HDC and EAS warnings....
If all you get is Air Susp. Inactive warning and not the ABS,HDC et al warnings...you may have a true EAS issue....
Try this....
If you have Sat Nav - Open the boot and take the LH side panel off to reveal the Sat Nav unit....turn the ignition off and remove the key and wait for the red light on the Nav unit to go out....
Now disconnect the Negative terminal on the battery....
Wait 20 minutes....
Reconnect battery....
Start the engine - you should get the above warnings....perform the lock to lock test as described above holding or a few seconds at each lock...
The Warnings should disappear....if the Air Susp. Inactive message remains - you will need to get it on a diagnostic computer to read the fault codes...
Hence why I said, do the test...if that still doesn't reset...time for a plug in...might be a hard fault, so battery disconnection will do naff all

Did you learn all this on DIY SOS on the BBC ?
Is there an FAQ section ?
Have you got the www address ?
Sure thing...Did you learn all this on DIY SOS on the BBC ?

if you DL their FAQ ASAP, you'll get the gist of it PDQ.
Also ITV will be doing a OB on the subj. ATN, so you may want to get a goosey on the TV select CH3 for ITV to watch the OB live...

My problem is though I am a person who Cant Understand Nothing Technical
i don't think it's a hard fault (i just typed out an ENORMOUS response which failed to post, i don't fancy retyping it, vbulletin's system stinks.
so i'm just (yes it is the sat nav model) to remove only the black cable from the battery? (i know how to do this, and raise the bonnet properly just i thought actually i was supposed to remove the red one
Thanks.
Chris

No...always diconnect the black negative lead first...for Christs sake don't disconnect the red one first...this has a pyrotechnic charge in it to disconnect the battery in the event of a crash....I have seen the video and the bloke is a numpty for disconnecting the Red first...always the black one - wait 20 minutes then you can disconnect the red one (not needed in this case)...put the black one back and see if after the reset Lock to Lock you still get the warnings...
A hard fault can be identified by all the lamps on the ride height selector being unlit...soft fault is Hold lamp and Standard lamp lit...
