Default Step 1

Get an IIDTool by GAP Diagnostics.

Then check your calibration. Read the faults, clear them...etc.

I don’t think it’s a valve and/or air supply problem. If the truck believes both wheels are drooping too much, it will think you’re stuck on something and raise you to extended mode to get you off. If you’re telling it to go back down by pulling that ride height switch towards the back of the car, but it still won’t go down, it’s because the sensors are still giving it faulty readings. Can you take pics of the sensors and rods and post them here for us to look at? Do you have the 4x4 screen? If so, what’s that showing for your wheel positions?

Don’t have 4X4 screen. This is a 2006 LR3 I purchased it last year for my wife’s birthday, she loves it but I’ve grown to hate it especially when I can’t repair it myself. As far as photos go not sure what sensors and rods you’re talking about.

I believe cmb6s is referring to posting photos of the actual wheel sensors that the computer uses to monitor each wheel. The little black boxes in the wheel well that have arms on them that connect to the control arms. They are the eyes of the computer and if they are jacked up the computer will do all sorts of odd things.

You really should invest in a IIDTool. You will frustrate yourself to no end trying to debug anything in an LR3 without being able to see what the computers see. It all boils down to what do you value your time as. Yes they are expensive - but the amount of time they save more than makes up for the cost.

Exactly. For example, here’s a pic of my passenger side front sensor.

Literally asked about lift rods in the original thread on my first post. >face palm<. But if you dont know what they are you would not have had a clue anyway.

Jack the front end up about 6 inches or so and let er rip. Good call cmb6s on asking for pics.


Edit: Oops... thats what I get for speed reading, never mind. lol Thought Don posted that pic.

This seems like an exercise in futility with the IIDTool in your hands.
