Hi all Active owners,
just wanted to update all on my suspension saga.
But first, I just wanted to encourage everyone to share info on these cars. I've just spent 2 months trying to figure out my issue and gave a crap load of money to someone to try and fix it. Although I'm not mechanically minded, I'd sure like to give anyone a hand to save them going through what I have over the last couple of months.
With my problem, we installed an alarm and the active error came up. Ran diagnostics and SUS 11 came up. A guy from Japan told me it was left front sensor. Pulled that out, looked at all fuses, visual inspection of wiring, even swapped the height relay with Peter Scott's car, (which by the way is the main relay switch on the cooling fan apparently) and could not find anything.....
Then, I gave it to an electrician (OG Electrical) -The active suspension computer has a number output and input pins. Each of these pins should register a specific voltage range both for output and input signals. Where there is a variance, the manual will tell you where to look. In my case, there was no signal coming back from the left front height sensor or lateral G sensor. The electrician then traced the wiring from the computer to the height sensor and under the passenger kick panel discovered a plug had been disconnected (this is where the alarm installer jacked into the fuel pump loom and must have knocked the plug.)
Now my active does the 'active dance' and handles like it should.
It cost me 500 bucks to learn the above but now I have some info on what the input/output pins should be reading and I'm more than happy to share. I'll have to scan the papers but I'm happy to post them to anyone having problems.
