| Suspension reset in the field?! |
|
I got caught up in this poster's troubles with HDC and totally failed to notice this quote until just a moment ago
unclebob wrote:The HDC failure warning has appeared consistantly every day since it was last at the dealers (about 8 weeks ago). If I dont bother to reset with the 5 key turns then the HDC fault doesnt display at all (but the suspension is in safe mode and hence a bit more rubbish to drive than normal) . Interestingly I can raise and lower the car when it is in the fault mode. I can also confirm that the HDC is in fact working dispite the error message to the contrary.
And then this in an earlier thread from last year http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic17483-15.html
unclebob wrote:The main problem was that the suspension had dropped to the bump stops and the ride was awful. Desperate, I tried the 5 key turns technique and was delighted to find that I was able to clear the suspension fault, restoring the suspension system to normal working.
Can anyone confirm this (as my suspension is currently not on the bump stops  )?

Never heard of that one. You can clear the faults by doing a cold boot.:
Wait for 'P' light to go out
Disconnect the battery.
Touch battery terminals together for ten secs.
Remember this will clear all the fault codes so dealer will not be able to access them to diagnose what the problem was.
Good in an emergency but better getting it to the dealer if you can. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

You mean the ve+ and ve- leads, right? There could be some serious consequences for shorting the terminals...

Yup that's what you do.  Don't ask why......it's a D3. 
You have removed the power source when you take the terminals off the battery.
I am sure someone will be along to confirm. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€
