    Level Control system sensor error

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hi all,

    I have been getting an Air Suspension system fault that I am hoping to get some thoughts on

    Description:
    - ONLY comes on after about 10-15min of driving at highway speeds (city driving does not trigger this for some reason).
    - Resets after you turn the car off and back on
    - Car feels like its on hard coilovers / shocks when the error is active (back to proper suspension feel once you turn the car off and back on)
    - Came up after sometime after I tried lowering the car 10mm via OBD11. I thought the car was too low so I raised it back up via OBD11 to stock heights. Problem still occurs now
    - Inspected and cleaned all 4 sensors but that didnt change anything

    I did scan it using OBD11 and the error code reads "Level Control System Sensor", see pic below

    Question: any idea what this could be? I know it might be a fault sensor but is there a way to tell which one it would be? any other thoughts?

    Thanks for this. Will try out. Did you have the exact same symptoms? Did you also only get this issue during highway driving?

    Okay so update for everyone:

    I followed this procedure below and it now seems that everything is working OK (for now):

    I did follow almost this exact same process many times before and had no luck with getting this issue gone but without the "Deactivating Loading Mode".

    Thanks for the tips! will let you all know if this comes back.
