Default Air Suspension Fault

The ASF light came on yesterday. The OS front and rear suspension are riding very low. The car was re-calibrated by a Jaguar specialist 2 weeks ago, Tom Lenthall, so there are no issues with the quality of his work.

The pump appears to turn on and off as normal and isn't constantly running. It would be unusual for both bladders to fail at the same time, so I'm thinking the ride height sensors could be the culprit. The car is a 2007 X358 XJR, so I believe this is a car with 3 sensors, not 4. I will order the seal kit for the pump anyway as a precautionary measure.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Dave

Scanning for codes will help.

You have the amber light but not the 'vehicle too low' in the message centre?

It would be easy to spray the top of the front struts for leaks and rears if you remove

boot liner. It's not cold in the N hemisphere at the moment so unlikely to be the seals that leak when cold.

Dave, I have the same car (07 XJR) with basically the same problem (see my just posted "Fun with Air Suspension" thread)

So, please keep me/us informed as you go. I will do similarly

Tks, john

Having fun and games with mine also back end of car on the floor front end in the air! Vehicle too low message comes up compressor runs for about a minute but then cuts out and is noisey then air suspension amber light comes up. Prior to this happening when you pulled away quickly the amber air suspension light would come up but it ran fine.
