Hi today driving along car beeps red warning on suspension 30 mph etc , car goes down to bump stops , turn off and on compresser working will lift car again etc after code reset, then after a min just comes back on ……. Getting various communication codes , but then rear left sensor mechanism , car is all out of calabiration clearly rear left is lower then rear right , tbh the left side even front is lower just not as much , could it be the one sensor throws the lot out and causes this warning , for today I’ve taken the fuse out so hopefully will stay up so can be driven , anyone any advice or should I order a sensor and replace and see from there ?? Seems everyday this car creating new issues
 
Wiring can fail right next to the ride height sensors, used to be able to buy a short section of loom with plug on, so you just cut and shut new bit onto the car.

Do not forget any expensive car is expensive to run when it is new, and the costs just get higher as they get older, a fact many people seem to forget.
Like many modern vehicles the wiring is so thin its a joke and it does not take a lot to bugger it up.

Hi

plus 1 what’s already been mentioned , another place is at the rear passenger side wheel , there are a few big connectors there

enclosed a picture and wiring diagram for u , hopefully will make life easier , alas a lot of dirt etc gets inside those connectors due to there position

u want the right hand side connector for the rear height sensors C0377 and C0391

for the front height sensors u want the middle connector that’s hidden behind the front passenger wheel arch liner , ref C2559 / C2560

hope that helps

Hopefully pic works through link found this wire chaffed , the abs /speed sensor on front left have cut and shut for now could this have been the cause of my suspension issue drove for around 15 mins hasn’t come on but maybe wasn’t driven long enough ?
 
Good find, lots of motors use the abs sensors for the speedo etc, so you might have fixed it, cut and shut so long as its waterproof will be just fine.
No warnings = fixed, if it was still duff it would come on as soon as you moved, extended road test might be a good idea to confirm.
Your car on different wheels by any chance?
.
 
It’s on 18s don’t know if standard just what was already on car , I changed the hubs around a month back and replaced the sensor I’d say I didn’t put it back in the metal brackets properly and it come out and rubbed , it’s in properly now so hopefully be ok , I travelled 50 miles this morning no warning so fingers crossed for trip home
 
Driven 200 miles since repaired abs/speed sensor wire no fault has returned , worries me to do this as feels like constantly waiting for another dong lol but I’m going to say SOLVED … once again thanks all for your time , this repair cost nothing apart from time thank you ,
Time to Move on to next issue
