I know you will probably already have done this not trying to teach you how to suck eggs,this is how I done it just in case.
Car on level ground or wheels chocked if on slope
Ignition on
Engine off
Handbrake off
Select reverse gear
Should hear beep
Check button on dash is on, get out of the car and walk round and listen for each sensor clicking NO Click, NO Good. Andy

Hi guys, did the click test and sure enough I have just one that's not clicking, it's the near side outer one. Can these be replaced without taking the bumper off.......?
Cheers for your support chaps

Hi All
Thought i would provide a quick update on the air suspension issue that i started this thread about! i heard that 90% of the time when the fault code says front corner valve it is actually the wiring that is at fault and that the likely place for it to be damaged is on the front nearside arch - under the liner the loom passes over the top of a useless piece of steel bolted to the chassis, this is where the wires become damaged and frayed and short out. I stripped the cable back and soldered it back together all works perfectly well.

sorry to dredge up an old thread but I felt (and hope) this could be useful to someone. I found this thread while googling around for suspension faults. I had a Front Right Corner Valve fault popping up every time I tried to raise or lower my suspension. This thread references the Front Left Corner Valve but the solution is the same. I twiddled with the wires under the near side footwell (the middle block connector) and that has sorted my fault out. Now I just need to build up the courage to dig into the wiring for which wire is broken.
TLDR: front left or front right corner valve still likely to be a wiring fault under passenger footwell.
