P38A Strange EAS

97 4.6 HSE Auto 138k
Eas has developed a strange foible
On these colder mornings I hate to drive off with such a big engine stone cold so I preer to let her warm up for just a couple of minutes.
Recently tho that if I drive away straight away then all is ok but if I wait even just to programme sat nave then the EAS throws a wobbly and soft faults.
If I switch off and wait a few mins then everything is ok again.
Anyone know why?

Diag?!

Whenever I have put nano on it it says left front sensor out of range
I haven't managed to put nano on it every time tho
I don't see why it only happens when stood too long

Think you just answered your own question.

Ah but I used to be able to warm the engine up before driving
Now I have to drive away immediately to avoid the EAS faulting

Problem getting worse?

No I dont think its worse but def not better

I have the same fault.if you find the solution let me know plz

Get your nose down into the passenger footwell & remove the kick panel. There's two white multi connectors behind that pane that fur up & cause havoc with the EAS & autobox.
If these connectors are indeed corroded, cut them out, & properly sloder the wires each side of the connector together. Doing this can bring your air suspension & gearbox changes back to a new vehicle.

slodering is the difficult bit

Before you sloder them, do this to clean the corrosion. Otherwise the soldering will not be good.

Don't forget to put the heat shrink onto the wire before soldering !!

Thank you that looks a nice easy way to clean wires.
Will check behind the kick panel this weekend hopefully
