Hiya
Have u got a thread running plse so can re read it and see what stage ur at
Will certainly try , also have u got ur own diagnostics or had it plugged in
Thks
https://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/air-resevoir-valve-185498.html this is the thread I put up also found this thread which is identical to the prob I have https://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/c1a35-01-re...57278.html ive done so much I don't know where to start I have iid diags which just says reservoir fault every thing works as should/same as always worked only thing wrong is when you raise height it has no help from the reservoir so raises the rear slow then the front,if I switch ign on the wobbly car in yellow is not there but when you start the car the light comes on saying suspension fault if I clear fault with iid the comp runs for a second or two trying to fill the reservoir then throws light and shuts off the comp really stuck on this as ive tried everything and found literelly nothing wrong with anything
please ask any questions and I will answer what ive done but as I said completely stumped on this and beginning to think I will have to take it to be fixed which goes against the grain a bitplease excuse any grammer/punctuation mistakes,i'm thick,thankyou

If the compressor only runs for a couple of seconds then it is likely the reservoir valve is not opening to allow the air through to the reservoir.
To test this, just disconnect line '9' (see the image on page 1) and try again.
If the compressor runs for a longer period it proves it is the reservoir valve not opening that is causing the fault.
It doesn't mean the reservoir valve is faulty, only that it is not opening for some reason.Gone 2016 Landmark D4

Hi weyboat
I’m also wondering if there’s a wiring error , maybe in the front near side wheel arch on those connectors
Or the ecu isn’t seeing the pressure correctly but see the op has replaced the reservoir valve with a genuine one
That’s why I keep thinking ref the wiring
Know they can be right fun trying to diagnose the EAS

Yeah..
If the test I outlined above shows the compressor still only runs for a couple of seconds, I would start looking at the Air Suspension Control Module and the electrical circuits.
Also (long shot) is the air outlet pipe (9) blocked?Gone 2016 Landmark D4

Hiya
That’s also a good idea if that pipe has become blocked or restricted , maybe old silica ???
See the op has an iid and wondering if the live values will help to see the percentage that the valves open by , as thinking then it should show a 100% reading for when the reservoir opens and if it stays open by 100%
Indeed ref electrical , can’t really think of anything else if the reservoir valves closes after a few seconds if there’s an error message being seen by the ecu , which then throws up the fault code
Never know it might just be a bad connection at the ecu or behind the front wheel arch
At least having the iid should aid with the fault finding

ok guys thanks for your input I have an update nothing has changed still the same
if it was an electric fault (wiring)why does the compressor run for a few secs when I clear the codes? I also have power going to valve when I clear the code also have continuity between the ecu and valve
have tried the disconnect reservoir pipe no change,air outlet pipe being blocked would not switching the comp eliminate that? I have had every connecter apart and found zero corrosion anywhere switched relays/fuses even fitted a new alternator I had as a spare just to eliminate that I also tried a s/h module from ebay over the weekend all that did was thro codes for the rear ride sensors that I did not have before and gave me the red wobbly car on dash with max 30mph which it never had before I have tried reinstalling the software for the com reinstalled my saved susp settings from iid I am completely stuck now and as I said in my original post this happened 2016 exactly the same cant remember how I fixed it but I feel sure the light just went off one day whilst driving and stayed off for 4yrs until a few weeks ago when it reappeared much like the other poster I put a link up for just really stuck now i did check the gallery pressure earlier 1100kpa maxed then com shut down as susp was upto height seems a bit low but as i swapped the comp from my d4 over to eliminate that i cant see that being the problem so any idea's gratefully received thanks for your helpplease excuse any grammer/punctuation mistakes,i'm thick,thankyou

Hiya
Just a thought that seeing the compressor didn’t reach the req pressure is ur air tank ok , as I thought just maybe as the reservoir valve opens if the air tank is leaking it won’t build up pressure , ecu will see it and shut it off
Also as the reservoir valve isolates the air tank and only opens it when it receives a signal and monitored by the pressure switch
Or even a leak on the air tank connector ??
Alas the reservoir valve feeds the front and rear valves so thinking if the suspension raises it must be opening
Just an idea

I am beginning to think that the module is foofed as that is what tells the valve to open,when I first changed the valve there was pressure in the tank but not since as obviously the valve is not opening to fill it tried the comp with the res connection disconnected same result yesterday
If I fit a used module would it work straight off as I tried one over the weekend but it just gave me more error and I'm rather reluctant to start messing with other settings as I don't want to introduce more problems to confuse the problem more
Thanks for your input hopefully will get there in the endplease excuse any grammer/punctuation mistakes,i'm thick,thankyou
