Smile Self Level Suspension message resolution

Just solved that one (lucky me). Message came up on my sister 4.4 X5 after rear brakes were done and the car was lowered down to the ground. After numerous attempts to clear the error code with various scanners failed we lifted "X" up in the air again. Right rear leveling sensor (one of codes pointed out that one as malfunctioning) looked "funny" not exactly matching the left side. Small pendulum (dark plastic arm attached to the body of sensor on one and lower control arm) instead of pointing down and out (towards the tire) was pointing down and in (towards the driveline). Just one small bolt in the joint had to come off and in 5 min it was pointing out in the symmetrical to the left side direction. ALL THAT WAS JUST IMPERICAL GUESS. Shortly after we finished praying ) and lowered the car I drove it around a mile o two. What a pleasure it was to see the message disappearing off by itself with no reset needed. I guess after being in the air for a wile lower control arm came down far enough pulled on the sensor's pendulum and dispositioned it. Wish I took pictures. Good luck. PM me with any questions.
