we have a 211 that keeps giving a leveling feed back fault. DLFB. the mechanic has replaced the switch in the hatch, he says he has checked everything in the circuit, any ideas as to what may be happening. he wants to replace the main 211 board, but i would like to here some of your responses first. thanks ps, the fault happens once every couple of weeks for the last few months.

thanks guys, i went and checked it out today, the manual says that a door lock that bobbles as car leaves floor could cause the problem, i checked all the items in the troubleshooting help section of this fault. cleaned all locks and gate switch rechecked switch, L3S, made sure it does not open until car is below bottom floor by a few inches. if it comes in again, i have instructed mechanic to swap the board with another car, will see what happens. thanks again for the input

this may sound really stupid but did you check the door track for the infamous goober buildup?

well it has been about 3 weeks now, and no failures, I did clean the door tracks and locks as indicated, that would be really amazing if just that little service solved the problem, could it possibly be a simple problem fixes a pain in the ass intermittent problem. only time will tell, only goes to show you that a little maintenance can go a long way.
