Default LR3 Air Suspension

When purchased salesperson told us that the Air Suspension wasn't working, but that their mechanic would sort it out. On collecting the vehicle all seemed well, however after driving for 20-30 minutes the amber Suspension light came on, after a further few miles it turned to red and the audible chime began. After a four hour trip the vehicle was parked in our garage. On checking various parts found that the Air Compressor was not working, ordeed a replacement and fitted it, it did not solve the problem. Maybe it's the ECU module, ordered replacement fitted it still warning light and chime. Eventually losing all hope fitted conventional Coil/Spring Conversion Kit. What do we do to stop the audible warning chiming? Thought removing the Air Compressor would be the answer but it isn't, any body have any ideas....the chimes are .driving the wife up the wall!

Need codes. It could be anything from a bad relay (replace/swap with another) to a leaking air line, failed valve block, stuck open exhaust, etc.

The suppliers of the Air Compressor stated that 'removal of Air Compressor will stop audible warning." Clearly this isn't the case, have checked the price of a magic box, quite expensive about $500. We live in the 'sticks' and a Land Rover Dealership is hours away, so will live with the chimes for now. Thank you for your reply grateful for any input.

If you have a laptop, RSW Solutions has a software interface option. But its not the optimal solution, but it can do a lot for the truck. Just not as much as the GAP IID Tool at $500. Although that $500 pays for itself very quickly.

If you ignore the error it may get worse and result in total system failure. You can do some basic tests to narrow things down, like pull the fuse for the system and let the truck sit overnight to see if it drops. If it does then a strut or valve block may be leaking. The forums are loaded with info on how to sorta narrow things down. But codes always make diagnosis quicker since usually they are correct.

Thank you for the info, looking into RSW Solutions hoping this will work.

You can also post your location and maybe someone close by can get codes for you.

Thank you appreciate the input. Looking at RSW Solutions, still pricey but not as bad as $500. Although if we have to go that route we will.

Happy wife, happy life!
