Hi, I checked the EAS fault codes with a Nanocom on my P38 and it said "front left height sensor out of range", the car's been having same symptoms as OP. Moving the front part up and down while idling and the dash says "EAS fault". Should I change the sensor or is there something else to do first?

That's EXACTLY what mine says and does.
 
Feynerial, does your take an age to drop down to its lowest height too, if at all? If I put the kicker in sometimes it behaves itself for a few seconds and I can adjust the height sometimes. But that doesn't last long before the switch completely lights up and the dash reads an EAS fault.
 
Take the sensor off the car and connect it a dvm on the middle pin and one end pin (either will do).
Then very very slowly move the sensor arm from one end of its swing to the other and watch the dvm carefully. If the readings jump erratically. Thus a duff sensor 👌
 
First before you start swapping sensors, what are the target heights ?? Take a photo of the Inputs screen. It might simply need calibrating.

I try to avoid using the lowest height as my Rangy once got stuck like that. Was trying to drive off and it wouldn't go up, looked like it was crawling on the ground. I'm scared of it happening again hehe...

I always keep mine locked at motorway height saves wear and tear on the compressor.
