HELP: "SELFLEVEL SUSP INACT"
Hi everyone, I have a 2001 X5 4.4. I wanted to see if anyone has had this problem, and fixed it on their own before I go back to the dealer. I noticed that there are serveral posts on other sites about this issue? Is there a quick fix that I can do on my mine or do I need to go back to the dealer? People have suggested anything from "air supply control unit" to sensors, to faulty fuses. I am not sure where the fuses would be located or where the sensors are? I was also told that since I upgraded my rims/wheels from 18" to 20" aftermarket BMW look alikes, that I would need the dealer to reset the computer so that the X5 realizes the new tire configuration. Is this true? Geeeeeeeeeeze If I sneeze in the car, do I need to go the dealer for that too, Seems like I am running to the dealer every other week.
Please let me know if any of you have experienced this problem, was there a quick fix?? how do you reset a computer on these cars? Thanks in advance...

My X has been to the dealer 4 times for this problem already - and guess what? THE INFAMOUS MESSAGE IS ON MY OBC AGAIN! Back to the dealer this afternoon. Unless its a blown fuse Steve, you'll need the dealer to handle it or a certified experienced shop if you have no warranty. Good luck.

There are 2 places to check the fuses... one is in the glove box and the other is in the cargo area (pass. side hatch door). They are labeled.

All my components regarding the air suspension have been replaced also! (dealer told me roughly $5000 for this) It worked fine for about 4 months. I'm still covered under CPO until January 08. Lets see what happens this time around, because every time I bring my X into the dealer some other problem surfaces after I get it back.

when i had this problem, i checked the fuse box in the glove box and there it was, a burnt fuse. Mind you i also had no interior lights, so it made it somewhat easier to check that fuse first.

Everytime I've had the problem, the fuses all checked out ok.
