Default Suspension light is on, but suspension works fine. Hmmm

The suspension light is on, but the suspension goes up and down just fine. No sagging over night as well. No, it's not in jack mode. What could it be?

I also have a headlight leveling warning picture on my display. So I think that's what it is. It's a picture of a headlight with low beams and two arrows. One above the beam pointing up and the other below the beam pointing down. What is this?

Default Don't take an expensive guess, VAG the car and see what the DTC is.......

could be anything from a bad connection to a faulty module......did you try to engage/disengage Jack mode to see if it goes away?

Default WOW, that's a weirdo...Paging Ex-Pz: would you suggest to disconnect the module for 30 minutes?

If the module stored these data then there might be a good chance to reset it that way.....

Sounds like headlight leveler died, or one of the front level sensors. You need to run a full scan

Default It's the left front level sensor...but check the wires and connections before..

you buy a new one. I've seen three that have thrown a code due to one of the wires having a short.

What has caused the short? Water intrusion?

Default One caused by water intrusion (pin corroded) the other two were right where the wires...

bend, aft of the sensor, to head upwards towards sensor plug. A simple splice with heat shrink up into black accordian conduit was all that was needed.
