SelfLevel SUSP.INACT warning appears...why?

[eddieboyii]

when my "self level susp inactive" appeared, the dealer checked/diagnosed it for about 2 weeks. They can't seem to find the exact fault thru the fault scanner. they tested all the sensors and found the rear left to be faulty. they changed the rear left sensor. (another 2 weeks to wait for the parts to arrive).

I just got these ''wonderful'' messages 'selflevel susp.inact' and it look's like the X5 is leaning to the left side,
not that the left side is to low but the right side is to high
I just hope it's a sensor or a similar ''small'' problem, not the airbag it self.

Does anybody know if Carsoft 6.5 can test Self-leveling system on 2002 2003 X5 4.4i ? Front is down ,seems like left corner has no air .Fuses look ok . No light on the "up/down" switch.

I got in my X last night at the gym parking lot and the "Selflevel Susp Inact" warning appeared on my dash - WTF!!! I just had my car at the shop getting my bumper repainted (clearcoat was chipping - covered under factory warranty) so I'm wondering if this is related since they would have removed the bumper, disconnecting the headlight/fog light units? Maybe they forgot to connetc something correctly???

I've made an appointment today at the dealer to get this checked out. I'll keep you all posted on what they come back with etc.

Well, I'm glad I took in my X to have it checked out. According to the service advisor, it was a faulty sensory unit ("Cause: Instrument Cluster Acoustic Generator has occasional failure per SIB Test Module - Changed Programming in EHC to change timing for PR"?). In layman's terms, they had to reprogram the "control units" - all covered under BMW factory warranty!!

Yesterday I did a coolant change. When I drained the block it was quite messy (especialy on the passanger side, lot of splashing). This morning I got a self-leveling inactive warning. Do you think it's possible the coolant splashing caused the warning?

I'd set up an apointment to bring it back to the dealer who repaired it, and if the problem is the same as what they did last time it would be under 2 year parts warranty. If it is an unrelated problem, something else bad/leaking etc, then they will shoot you a price for repair.

if some one needs diagnostic (upstate ny) , stop by.
