Default SLS stuck in high position (offroad)

Has been for a couple days. I thought it was froze maybe ( 2 weeks of -20 to -25) but everything looks fine. Just won't go down.

Any suggestions? Disconect the battery to reset the slabs? Can I manually release some air?

Thanks in advance.


Chris

try driving it over 30mph in a safe area, it should automatically go down. Is your off road mode light still on?

You can try to release some air by loosening the hoses, that feed the bags, at the compressor. If the off road mode light isn't lit, The problem may be your ride height sensors.

this thread has a photo of which ones to loosen: Disco II Air suspension – the definitive guide - Land Rover Zone

Drove it to the airport yesterday, 60mph for 30 min. No change.

No, the offroad light is not on.

So, can I change a sensor without going to a dealer(4hrs away)? I have a parts truck with sls. If I marked exactly where the old 1 is and put the new 1 in the same spot?

Also the sensor on drivers side was not working when i got a buddy to read the codes for me.

Replaced the top half with the 1 from my parts truck and now seems to be cured.

Fingers crossed!!
