Have had Mando installed for about 1500 miles. Went for a short drive to the beach today and as soon as I hit a dirt road I got an error message "Check Electronic Suspension" that took the place of the whole information display, including speedo and tach. Used page display button and the error resolved to a warning graphic icon. I downloaded codes using UVO, but haven't checked them yet (I'm not at home but in South Florida, and don't recall the logon info).

I turned off the Mando unit and left it off as the first step in trouble shooting, but the error reoccurs every time I begin driving after restarting the car. I also switched driving modes back and forth a few times; everything "seems" to work OK. I expected to check the fuse, but the bluetooth connection worked fine so that can't be it. I'll try checking the connector at the steering wheel, but the fact that the suspension continues to change modes as commanded and the car's systems respond to all steering-wheel buttons makes me think that's not going to be the issue. Hopefully it'll make it back to Ohio tomorrow without new warnings.

Anybody else have this error (with or without the Mando)? If so, please advise next steps. I must say that I'm surprised by the issue, due to the origin of the module and the flexibility built into the system I expected it to be idiot-proof. The only other work done of late is oil change and tire rotation at the stealership (and I will add that the newbee doing the work had to have a lot of assistance with changing the oil filter, which appeared from the wait room to be a cartridge with a replaceable element?). I don't have proof, but I'm pretty sure he put the curb-rub on one of my brand new 18" winter rims as well. The other tech actually changed 3 Nissans in the time he did the work, and the bay was empty when I pulled in.
 
I did once get the same error with My Mando installed.
I don't recall the circumstances, but it was on a normal paved road.

I cleared the error with my scantool and it has not occurred since.
 
You'll need to pull the real codes with an OE-compatible tool (not a generic code scanner) and work from there. The mondo module shouldn't cause any issues itself since all it does is send configuration commands to the suspension module.
There's a chance something Mondo is doing isn't quite compatible with the US-spec suspension module, so the self-diagnosis gets triggered. But that's pure speculation.
 
I'll see if they'll clear the code at the stealership when I get the next oil change. Thanks for the info.
