Self levelling suspension inactive

[Malcs]

Hi all,

Owned this car for 9 years now, just failed Mot for 'self leveling susp inact', mechanics scanner says no signal fron r/side. New r/h sensor replaced, driven approx 6 miles and warning message is still present, how do i get rid of the message?

Any help would be much appreciated

Welcome to the Forum

I take it you replaced the sensor yourself? Normally this should reset automatically, the fault can be triggered by low battery voltage a sensor/sensors compressor fault or even fuses.

First there 3 sensors at the back of your car 1 is for the headlight leveling 2 for suspension. When replacing the suspension leveling sensors make sure the knee formed by the sensor lever and the regulating rod faces out towards the wheel and is free to move. So first step re-check what you have done, next step check the fuses in the right hand cubby in the boot you have 30a and a 7.5a fuses that control the compressor make sure they are OK. Then Battery fully charged.

I don't know if you are aware of www.realoem.com it is a BMW on line web site which will give you a small exploded drawing and part numbers so you know parts are correct for your car. Put the last 7 digits of your Vin in the search box it will bring up your model.
