suspension riddle so close yet so far...

OK since I bought the X5 its had innactive suspension error.. It sits perfectly fine, drives fine

Now here's the puzzle..

I've changed relevant fuses
I've also scanned it with the PA software

The error went away drive for 5 mins..then boom back on

I've attached the scans can anyone see from these where I should go next...oddly enough after scanning and clearing the codes the MPG now reads 20_22 mpg as it should and not 8-11 which it was...

Really really stuck with this depressing suspension error ...

Im aware of ghost errors but they are not staying away...damm spooks

Cheers

Nice list of errors. I had a wonky sensor that was throwing mine inactive, but I could only tell that when the system was inactive. If I scanned it when the system had got its brains again, it wouldn't flag that sensor. So, I carried the laptop with me, scanned it when it was faulted and I could see the sensor values all over the map. Swapped out sensor and never looked back. I also redid all the sensor arms that join the car to the sensors as mine were quite stiff. Make sure if you swap a sensor the arm pivots in the same way. If you aren't careful, it could rotate on you and then go the wrong way when you lower the car.

I would suspect that, but it says the fault is currently not present. They aren't cheap (none of the parts are), so you want to be certain. Test when the inactive alarm is on and compare all the sensor values. My good one was stable, the bad one was jumping around.
