I am able to clear the codes with my scan tool but they are "currently active" and won't go away.
On my laptop red codes are active, yellow is inactive. I had them all cleared at one point but the bastards went active again as soon as I started the X and now I don't even bother clearing them. The suspension is aired up, holding pressure, and leveling perfectly. Only problem is the ride height switch on the dash doesn't work and I have the inact. code permanently on my display.

Next time I get near a dealer I'm going to see if they can resolve it once and for all. But I plan to put an arnott in the driver's side first and get rid of the current bag which I suspect is original.

Great pics, thanks. Yea whoever assembled it prior was an ass. Glad you got it fixed up.

So try something.

On my hunt to fix my rear soft close yesterday. My electrician found a couple of issues that bothered him with our BMWs. First off, my relay was jamming and causing problems. According to wiring diagrams that he has, the relay that is closest to the tail light, does two things. It runs the air susp, and the soft close. Now the problem is that according to him, those relays are garbage, and he always sees them fail, causing all sorts of random shit problems. He suggested switching out all of them to Seimans or Hella brand. He had a Seimans one that he put in there, and right away, my hatch started closing and opening. I am going to try and source them today somewhere on line, and let you know what I find.

I would not be surprised that stupid relay is giving you issues with the switch. Try swapping relays, there are two of the same kind in there. Both were purple on my car.

Unfortunately i've joined the Selflevel Susp.Inact warning.

Hopefully mine case wont' be as bad. I took 5 adults out for lunch at the pub today, drove over some real harsh speedbump. On the way back to work, Rear Brake Light Warning came up, follow by Selflevel Susp.Inact.

I hope its only did that because of the extream weight in the back + badass speed bump trickle its fancy and gave me the warning.

Forgot to add, the suspension looks normal, ride hide and everything else is ok.
