Suspension problem
Right just done all upper/lower arms, knuckle bushes, drop links plus rear suspension sensors. Battery went flat. Car on bump stops, compressor runs for a few second and then throws a red fault with the following codes. Any suggestions?
HeadLight - U0400-68 (AF) Unknown( at 263646 km )
Suspension - C1A74-1C (AF) Rear left height sensor mechanism - General electrical failure - circuit voltage out of range ( at 263646 km )
C1A75-1C (AF) Rear right height sensor mechanism - General electrical failure - circuit voltage out of range ( at 263646 km )
Transfer Case U0132-86 (2F) Lost communication with ride level control module - Bus signal/message failure - signal is invalid ( at 263646 km )

Do any of those faults reset, or do they all keep coming back?Simon.

Hi
Have u tried unplugging and plugging ur rear sensors in or checking the multi connector that sits on the back left hand side , seeing the wiring is out of range assume there’s a bad connection / break in the wire
It isn’t a bad height sensor is it , have u had all the hunter alignment done already inc resetting steering wheel angle sensor to zero
Hopefully ur not pulling ur hair out and I understand gremlins like this can sometimes drive u nuts

Not yet, only discovered it this evening need to take the rear wheels off to get to the wiring.
Hopefully not, they are brand new sensors. Not yet stuck on the drive on its bump stops with no MOT and nearest centre is 27 miles away!!
Not yet give me a few days

Bit of coincidence if both, but will investigate.==================================

Hi
Wonder if it’s that large connector plug , because as u say would be strange of both being faulty seeing you’ve replaced them
Hope it’s something simple after doing all that hard work

Indeed would be a result if there just on then wrong side
Know what it’s like with suspension as when I first got mine I had to virtually rebuild it, there were plenty of bodges from previous owners that took a long time to sort out first
Worst job I’ve ever had to do was replacing the rear upper arms, but was well worth it as it drove like a new motor
Plse let us know how u get on

Had very similar with mine - ended up I’d got the rear sensors on the wrong side (they are indeed handed.) Quick swap and all sorted.Cheers,
Gareth

Ant that the truth , took me ages cutting through that bolt , never known a bolt to be that tough
Next time I’ll use an air cutter with a thin cutting disc on it and at least I’ll know what to expect
At least with u doing them u won’t have the agro next time around
