Resetting the air suspension on a Range Rover varies slightly depending on the model year and system design. Here's a detailed breakdown by year range:
Range Rover Reset Air Suspension (2002–2012) – L322
- Manual Reset:
- Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
- Locate the suspension height adjustment controls near the gear lever.
- Press and hold the height control button (if available) for 10–15 seconds.
- Cycle through the suspension modes (Access, Normal, Off-Road) to check system response.
- Battery Reset:
- Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
- Wait 10 minutes for the system to reset.
- Reconnect the battery and test the suspension operation.
- OBD Diagnostic Tool:
- Use a diagnostic tool compatible with L322 systems to read and clear any fault codes.
- Perform a calibration to ensure height sensors function correctly.
Range Rover Air Suspension Reset: Models (2013–2021) – L405
- Using the Control Panel:
- Turn on the ignition and navigate to the suspension controls on the dashboard or near the gear selector.
- Set the suspension to "Normal Height" mode, then cycle through other modes like "Access Height" and "Off-Road" to test the system.
- System Hard Reset:
- Hold the suspension height adjustment button for 10 seconds to force a system reset (if the model supports this function).
- If unresponsive, disconnect the battery negative terminal for 10 minutes, reconnect, and reinitialize the system.
- Using Diagnostic Tools:
- Connect a diagnostic tool, such as a Land Rover-approved scanner.
- Scan for suspension fault codes and clear them.
- Recalibrate the air suspension system to restore functionality.
Range Rover Models (2022–Present) – L460
- Advanced Reset via Touchscreen:
- Access the suspension menu through the vehicle's touchscreen interface.
- Select the desired suspension height and confirm adjustments. This may resolve minor software glitches.
- Automatic System Reboot:
- Restart the vehicle's electronic systems by performing a "soft reset" using the infotainment system or disconnecting the battery briefly (consult the owner’s manual for specifics).
- Professional Diagnostic Tools:
- Advanced systems in newer models often require specialized tools like JLR SDD or Pathfinder software for in-depth troubleshooting and calibration.
- Use these tools to scan and clear fault codes, and ensure the system is calibrated correctly.
General Tips for All Models
- Air Leaks: Check for leaks in the air springs or compressor if the reset doesn’t resolve the issue.
- Compressor and Sensors: Ensure the compressor functions properly, and height sensors are operational.
- Seek Professional Help: For persistent issues or advanced diagnostics, visit a certified Land Rover service center.
Always consult your owner's manual for model-specific instructions, as features and processes may vary.
