Default Random Suspension Fault

The other day on a trail, I got an inconsequential suspension fault. I cycled power and it went away. I don’t recall but I’m pretty sure I didn’t have any ill effects such as the suspension lowering or anything, but later (much later) I had the fault return (probably because it was “latched” as I’d never actually cleared it with the IIDTool) and when I read it, it said something like “Exhaust Valve.” I cleared it and it never came back (after another 100 miles).

Any idea what this is?

Doesn't the EAS compressor have an exhaust valve component? I hesitate to make a guess but I am thinking maybe there is a blockage in that area?

yeah that is what I was thinking...

...it may not have even been actually blocked; possibly just a mis-reading by a sensor.

I'm pretty sure it's your transmission about to fail...

Sorry, couldn't resist.

That very well could be! Hahahaha....

I changed my tranny fluid dutifully at about 98K Miles. I didn't change the pan or filter, just the fluid. I'll do it again at about 150K. I may do the the whole 9 yards at that time, maybe even the Mech sleeve for good measure.

Call me crazy, but I do that kind of stuff. I am like 'Hmmm....the Rover hasn't been in the shop for a while, it needs a spa day.' Next thing you know I'm changing a PCV valve and some fluids and some RF Capacitors and such.
