Suspension won’t rise after inner tie rod replacement
Hi this may be of my own doing but, I hope you guys can help out, cars been working well recently after changing the outer tie rod and wheel bearing and a new offside air spring, but the inner rod then needed changed so I removed the fuses to stop the car self leveling I jacked up the front to change the inner tie rods but as the rod that were delivered were wrong I left it jacked up until the new ones arrived (about 5days) fitted new inner tie rods put it back down on the ground, replaced the fuses and now the front end won’t rise, checked measurements on the diagnostic and the values seem well out. By looking at these numbers would they indicate the height sensors are the issue or do these just need reconfigured, I don’t think my diagnostic kit will allow me to change these settings it’s a Autel MaxiCOM MK808.

All doors, boot and Bonnet are shut,when trying to move car to access height, car says it’s stuck on something and says moving to extended height but only the back raises, all fuses are good, and front valve block was changed just 4 weeks ago, it’s only stopped working after having the front end raised for a few days with the axels hanging at full extended length

Check you haven't damaged the height sensors. The front right one looks out of whack compared to the rest.Kev

Hi all, car worked for all of 60 miles, and had to drive home on the bump stops at 30 miles per hour, so have checked all the wires and the height sensors and can’t see any physical damage, it went back to working correctly for say 30mins as I raised and lowered the suspension in one spot then started malfunctioning again, but I sat watching the live data and two things stood out the left height sensor now and again fluctuated to 140mm from 4mm but also the voltage for that sensor also fluctuated between 2.4volts and 4.6volt as the sizes fluctuated ,so is this more likely to be a faulty sensor or an issue with the wiring to the sensor?
Does anyone know which one drive which, does the voltage drive the change in height values or would the height change make the voltages fluctuate ?
