Suspension fault stop safely stop engine - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport

Can you feel some hard jerking passing on bumpy road? Have the suspension checked.

You need to check with dealer to remove fault code for suspension thru 5052 scanner. The system is sending a fault and it eventually ends up in the ECM

Problems with the air suspension seem to be less frequent with the Sport than in previous Range Rover models, but they still do occur. One owner reports "Whenever my RRS is lowered to "access" level a suspension system fault message apprears.". Another reports " Had the RRS back less than 2 hours and another "suspension fault." Also kept receiving messages that the vehicle is raising slowly and vehicle will raise when system cools. Couldn't even drive because it wouldn't raise out of access mode. Anyway, back to the dealer. Picked the RRS up again today-dealer said the EAS compressor was faulty and replaced it. So far everything is ok." Overall, most of the problems seem to be related to bad suspension height sensors or bad compressors. Angus Wade of the Czech Republic had his suspension light come on when in Germany; it started yellow and then red, then disappeared when he stopped and restarted the engine -- and has not happened since. His dealer said they have seen this a bit.

Weak Compressor: An official Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) LS-204-004 addresses "ELECTRONIC AIR SUSPENSION (EAS) WARNING MESSAGE AND LAMP ILLUMINATION". This deals with the warning message "Suspension Fault - Normal Height Only" message appearing with the Air Suspension Warning Lamp on. Computer diagnosis shows pressure increasing too slowly or unable to pressurize, with no air leaks. The usual problem is the compressor exhaust valve sticking, causing an internal air leak when the compressor is active. The bulletin recommends renewing the air compressor (RQG500090 is the latest specification air compressor with a stronger exhaust valve return spring)and installing and updating the air suspension control module software using WDS disc 13 or later.

Suspension Fault Message (random): One owner reported getting random suspension fault messages on his brand new RR Sport purchased in June 2006, well after the fix was in for the weak compressor. His suspension Fault message and Suspension Warning Light (Amber) came on after 5 days of ownership. He stopped and restarted the car, which caused the light and message to disappear, but they came on again after 5 minutes. Later the same day, the warnings disappeared again.

I have heard that on 2006 models, EAS fault messages can be caused by an internal leak in the Air Suspension compressor exhaust valve. The fix is said to be replacing the compressor updating the software.

Hope helps.

CHECK AIR SPRINGS SOLENOID O- RINGS FOR LEAKS.LISTEN FOR AIR LEAKS AROUND EACH AIR SPRING. WHILE CAR ON GROUND. IF YOU SPOT A LEAK.TURN OFF AIR SUSPENSION OFF FIRST.THEN SAFELY RAISE VECHICLE.REPLACE ALL AIR SPRINGS SOLENOID O - RINGS BUT FIRST BLEED AIR OUT OF AIR SPRINGS FIRST BY REMOVING AIR SPRING SOLENOID CLIP THEN SLOWLY PULL AIR SPRING SOLENOID TO SECOND STOP DONT PULL ALL THE WAY OUT.TO SAFELY LOCK OUT VECHICLE REMOVE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE TO KEEP AIR COMPRESSOR FROM TURNING ON.YOU DONT WANT AIR IN SPRINGS WITH VECHICLE IN THE AIR. DONT TRY REMOVE AIR SPRING UNTIL ALL THE AIR IS OUT.YOU NEED A FORD TESTER TO DO A FUNCTIONAL TEST ON AIR SPRINGS.

Leaky shock absorber

Unplugging the Connector will cause the Check Suspension light to come on as its listed as a fault as it cant run.

But with it unplugged the compressor shouldnt been able to start. If you want to kill the compressor pull its relay from the engine bay. located above the battery.

But i'd suggest correcting the fault as if those bags do pop your going to end up being grounded. as the rear will drop a fair bit!

there is a problem with the rear differential motor actuator,the clutch seems to retract half way back during ingnition cycle procedure...it would require recalibration for simpler cases and a motor actuator  replacement for the more serious cases...has d handler to recalibrate transfer case too.use approved diagnostic equipment e.g. JLR IDS

The check engine light indicates a fault in the engine management systems. Your car has stopped accelerating because it is locked in fail safe mode and normally you should be able to accelerate just enough to limp to the dealer where they wil scan the computer.
Cheers.

you can try turning the ignition on and off , only to position two ond off with out starting , between 20 - 30 times this sometimes confuses modules and causes them to clear faults , if not i would recomend getting it plugged in , if vehicle is not in warranty go to landrover specialist , much cheaper!!!!!
