Tell tale signs of an ABC disaster?
I saw a ABC visit workshop error appear on my dashboard the other day, immediately pulled over, checked underneath the car, checked the oil levels, all seemed well, started the car back up again and the message did not return (and hasn't done since). It has been about a month.
In any case, I visited an indie to get the codes checked and cleared, here is what was reported;
C1531-004 REAR LEFT suspension strut moves although the locking valve is closed.
C1525-001 Critical vehicle level: FRONT LEFT
C1525-008 Critical vehicle level: REAR RIGHT
C1526-002 Fault in hydraulic circuit at FRONT RIGHT suspension strut
Strangely enough about the vehicle level, I don't think I've ever seen the front left or rear right sag, its only the rear left which does on an occasion (parked more than 24 hours).
An oil flush and new filter (3 micron) was done in February. Rear valve block dismantled and cleaned in February also.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

sometimes there is a glitch that shows faults. you cleared the codes. drive it and recheck to see if codes come back, or abc light comes back on. let us know.

I haven't seen any messages appear as of yet, would it be a waste of money to get the codes checked again? (i.e errors only get logged if something flashes on the dash).
