I own a 2003 Range Rover and it started throwing the "Air Suspension Inactive" code. When this code appears, my A/C starts blowing warm air and my Steering Wheel lock does not engage when I remove the key. The funny thing is I had my air suspension replaced with shocks about 3 years ago and my computer was reprogrammed.

This started happening about 4 weeks ago and after a day or two it disappears only to reappear in about a week.

I know this sounds weird but, could this have something to do because of a dying battery? Does my computer need to be reset or reprogrammed? I'm lost!


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Had the battery tested and everything checked out good on that end. Guess I'll have to take it to a RR Service Center to check out the computer...

 

How do I change the Thread topic to "2003" instead of "2013"? I must've been typing too fast...

 

Just got word back from RR repair that there is 2 problems going on at once. First, I need a "Body Control Module". $475 used, $715 new. Mine's not correctly communicating with the other modules in the vehicle. Explains the little gremlins running amuck...

Second, I need the almighty "Steering Column Replacement". $1700 used or $7000 new. I spoke with a RR Tech and he said that in actuality, all I would really need in the steering column is a replacement module. HOWEVER, the modules are so specific that it would only work with the actual vehicle it was programmed for. Instead of making these things programmable, BMW makes us buy the entire damn steering column!!! What a hack!!!

He said a lot of people buy time by installing a switch to disconnect the battery power if the column locks up. He said this is temporary. I've seen where some people drill a small hole and spray WD-40 in the column to prevent sticking. This appears to be 2 totally different problems. How could you tell which problem you have???
