Right Rear height sensor wiring harness
#12
No lights, no icons...just a schizophrenic height sensor.
When you say the front driver's wheel well wiring harness, do you mean that height sensor harness?
Or something else?
When looking at Live Data, too, I recently noticed the volts are chunk lower on that rear right sensor compared to the others.
Something like 2.07 for normally operating ones and 1.6 for right rear.
I don't know how that would cause this "clear object" error/issue, but can't leave any stone unturned right now.

Had the Remove Obstacle stuff and eventually the right rear sensor showed as dropping off the screen. It is a little different from your pic, as the other sensors indicated normal height. Also, the right rear was super raised, with the other wheels at normal height.
Read the codes and they indicated the sensor was out. I ordered a cheapo sensor, and it was ok, but would give suspension warnings occasionally. I got a genuine Rover sensor and put that in with the same results. Just to note, the wiring at the sensor connector seemed fine.
Also of note, the right rear sensor reads as slightly lower (i.e. raised) than the other sensors.
I read the live data on the suspension module, and also read the right rear as slightly low. 4.89v vs. 4.93 for the others.
Havent figured it out yet, but Im about to start checking the connectors downstream...

Update:
I gave up trying to resolve this myself and took (limped) to closest LR dealer.
After failing to calibrate and a thrown height sensor error, they believed the problem was the actual sensor.
While I was toiling with it I saw the code but may have incorrectly assumed it was the original code and didn't follow thru on clearing and re-diagnosing.
Anyways, I had purchased what was advertised as "an OEM replacement part from England".
When LR tech removed the sensor it became apparent that it was not an OEM sensor.
I'll be contacting the seller as a very unhappy customer.
...ended up getting me nipped for $1200.
Another thing of note, the wiring harness appears to either be right/left specific or just more aftermarket nonsense...but Pins 1 (ground) and 5 (5V) were in wrong spots.
That probably explains the lower voltage reading I was getting in Live Data.
They switched the pins in harness and it operates properly now.
Moral of the story...in my opinion, is always use OEM parts (at least on sensitive equipment) and verify that is what you received.
PS - Height calibration cost $179...I've seen that question in other threads.

By the way, and I don't know how far away our dealer is, which would make a difference....but you can always just approach them like "look, I know it takes 15-20 minutes to calibrate the EAS; I'll offer you $50 to do it for me." This may be particularly effective if your rig is there for other work already. The worst that can happen is they can say "no."
