C1A23 on Land Rover by model: symptoms, diagnosis and fix
The current-generation L462 Discovery continues the air suspension tradition with its own set of issues. The ride height sensors are particularly prone to failure, giving incorrect height readings that cause the vehicle to sit at uneven heights. The sensors are located at each corner and exposed to road debris. Failure of one sensor affects the entire system's ability to level the vehicle.
Common Symptoms
- Vehicle sitting at different heights side to side
- Suspension fault warning
- Ride height adjustment not working
- Vehicle leans to one side
- Harsh ride quality
How to Fix
Replace the faulty ride height sensor(s). These are accessible at each wheel without lifting the vehicle significantly. Recalibrate the air suspension system using JLR Pathfinder diagnostics after sensor replacement.

Owner tips & cautions
- TipThe height sensor links are cheap plastic and break easily. Keep a spare in the glovebox — a broken link gives the same symptoms as a bad sensor.
