| Suspension fault with flat tyre |
|
Has anyone experienced a deflated tyre (left front) causing a Suspension Fault warning at the message centre? I stopped and re-started the vehicle twice before realising that the front tyre was down to 10psi. On inflation/repair the fault message hasn't recurred.
Cheers

I think the self leveling works overtime with a flat and will eventually flag a fault.  “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

A similar thing happened to a mate of mine on a wet and muddy track in WA. Tyres were at a low pressure due to the road and conditions and it was only when it was dead flat did he receive the suspension warning. It was a rear tyre Retired Bob

I drove around Robe at 10(ish) PSI - no problems.
I also had a flat last week (same tire as yours - front left). no warning in the message centre.

Triggered by wheel speed sensors I believe? The flatter tyre has a lower virtual rolling circumference and reports a higher wheel speed. ECU gets a panic on and reduces suspension functionality as it doesn't know what speed you're doing so can't go all nanny on you and restrict offroad height based on your speed. I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
