Hi all, wanted to share this interesting tidbit.
I started getting a suspension failure warning on my 07 Auto every time I’d drive the car (it’s a daily driver). Was behaving like this for a few weeks. Error code was “front LH solenoid” but I traced the source of the error to the ECU instead of the shock by cross-wiring the front shocks and also ohming out the harness to the ECU connector. Seems simple, buy a new ECU right?
But...I was researching this issue on the forum and one member commented that this issue only occurs for him if he does not lock his car between drives. I realized I haven’t been locking my QP lately (it’s been hot so I’ve been leaving a window down at my work parking lot). So I started locking my car again and guess what, right away suspension error goes from occurring EVERY SINGLE DRIVE to COMPLETELY GONE. It’s been error-free for a week now. Weird huh?
I can leave the car unlocked while fueling up and the error does not reappear. I’m going to do some experimenting to see what patterns actually trigger the error. Will also keep an eye out for a good deal on my part number ECU as I suspect this is a sign my ECU may be failing.
Anyways, thought this was interesting. Anyone else experience this same thing, other than that blessed commenter from a years-old thread who had the same bug?
Cheers,
Brent
