Re: Citroen C5 2010 Suspension Faulty
Can you raise the height manually using the buttons in the car?
Re: Citroen C5 2010 Suspension Faulty
No.. it dosnt work..
I found the fuse for the hydraulic pump. I put a new fuse and the car raised at the lowest level.
It can maybe be that the pump is problem?

Re: Citroen C5 2010 Suspension Faulty
It is possible that your pump has become contaminated with oil and is causing excessive current to be drawn.
This happened to me and I've got details in these threads here:

And my repair:

Re: Citroen C5 2010 Suspension Faulty
the problem is that the fuse dosnt blow.
I would like to messure the current on the pump to se if somethins happen with ih or if its dead.

Re: Citroen C5 2010 Suspension Faulty
Sorry, I misread your post. I recall reading somewhere that there is a large transistor that activated the pump motor (located on the motor itself). If you are lucky then this could be the problem rather than the entire pump.
Re: Citroen C5 2010 Suspension Faulty
Shouldnt it be a relay that activates the pump. But it should work manually to raise it up without the relay but can be that they use the same relay for manually and automatic raising
Hmm very strange

Re: Citroen C5 2010 Suspension Faulty
Yes from what I remember it is a solid state relay (transistor) that activates the pump. It is signalled from either the BHI or BSI as far as I am aware.
On the pump you can identify it as it has one thick wire and one thin wire, these are the power and signal wires respectively.

Re: Citroen C5 2010 Suspension Faulty
Where is the pump located on the car, can i see it easly or do i need to remove a lot of things first?

Re: Citroen C5 2010 Suspension Faulty
Presumably the LDS level was checked? , a leak in the system will bring up the speed warning. Happened to me when the steering rack was on the way out and started leaking. And I was 300 miles from home .....
