    I have the sky hook system fault
    usually clears itself after a restart on level ground
    this time after several attempts it remained on
    has anyone else had this issue?
    I think I saw somewhere you will get this with a low battery.

    If you cycle the ignition on and off more than a certain amount of times without starting the engine and drive around this sign will appear because the suspension management is expecting a positive speed signal. At least that's how it works on both my 550 and F355.

    Clyde- A low battery will definitely cause some squirrels. If that is idle on her, it is a bit low at around 700 rpm. Normal is 800 rpm, which should be about the same distance on the other side of the 750 rpm marker.

    had this issue many yes ago

    if i recall (and understand) correctly... it was found to be a faulty sensor on one side. think that was determined by switching the sensors around and fault went away. could be wrong.

    Clyde- I put an Interstate MTZ-34R in mine last year. They usually last around 7 years but tend to be kind of expensive. There are alternatives, like the Interstate MTX-48/H6, which is a little less expensive and only has a 36 vs 48-month free replacement warranty.

    ok so there are 4 sensors on the system see the picture
    I know my front sensor is good
    so I am hoping that the other sensors are the same as the front one just in different locations
    I get the fault when I start moving after about 1/4 mile
    will report back findings
