    First experience with 360 dash warnings. Suspension warning light came on recently, scanned with a Leonardo the following errors came up:

    5004/C1004 - Front Vertical Acceleration Sensor
    5001/C1011 - Rear Vertical Acceleration Sensor
    5014/C1014 - Rear Vertical Acceleration Sensor
    5211/C1211 - Valve Input Error

    Suspect Leonardo may be confusing errors/descriptions as understand there's only one rear vertical acceleration sensor. Tech has sighted/cleaned connections but has not fixed error.

    Only things that have happened about the same time:

    1) Transmission mount is shot as identified at annual service. As a result rear exhaust tips have dropped substantially on rear bumper particularly on right side where its now touching the bumper (this drop happened in a matter of 2-3 months which took me by surprise). Getting these fixed shortly.

    2) New Blaupunk (Toronto 440 BT, superseded model from the Toronto 420 that owners seem to have had good luck with here) stereo deck and focal flax speaker replacing stock components installed about the same time. Have read of faulty stereo installs can cause suspension error light (http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/360-430-sponsored-yellow-compass-group/418584-430-radio-replacement-using-factory-harness-2.html), however confident these are installed correctly upon checking (correct harness used, no hacking of stock stereo wiring other than door speaker wires to accommodate new speakers/crossover). Have also read some aftermarket stereos can cause electrical noise which can trigger suspension light (http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/360-430-sponsored-yellow-compass-group/186958-suspension-warning-light-whats-mean-2.html). Have since removed Blaupunk deck but suspension error light still came on next drive (have not cycled battery so unsure if this might relate to previously logged error).

    Would seem unlikely that multiple sensors would have failed at the same time.

    Any help appreciated.

    I can't imagine the Toronto interfering with the Canbus.. when my rear sensor went it gave all sensors out then gave a single sensor (rear). Clear it and scan it again. should localize

    Useful to know thanks for the quick response.

    Errors were cleared on the Leonardo when first read. Will get them re-read shortly.

    I had my transmission mount disintegrate and I had no suspension or error messages. I doubt that would be related.

    I do have an extra suspension computer if needed. I'm sure the tech checked all the connectors. Sounds more like what vrsurgeon suggested.
