WTF??? SELFLEVL SUSPENSION INACTIVE!?!?!?!?!?!!!
Every now and then i get a light that comes up saying Self_Level Suspension Inactive. I turn off the car, turn it back on, it goes away, when the light coems back, i put the car in park, look and MEASURE both back tires, since in 4.4i the back tires are the only ones with air suspension, there both perfectly the same. the drive lately, however has been a LITTLE bumper then normal. but maybe its just me being paranoid? :/ the light comes on and off rarely and IDK what 2 do anymore! Any one ever had this issue? if so how did you fix it? :/ it cant be that my air suspension is messed up because if that was the case then the back tires would be lower or higher then normal, and it isnt. :/ I do no that I have a bad / bended front right lower control arm but can that be the cause of the suspension light coming on? :/ I cant see how because its in the front but idk? Please help!

One of the key suspect for the sporadic fault with no other signs of failure would be the power relay intermittently not clicking on properly as the internal contacts can get funky over the years. The relay is orange and is in the hump under the spare (where the pump/compressor is). It is a common 30/87 relay, but you would need to get the part# off of it to get one made for that amperage range from your dealers parts department.
That is only one of the possibilities, but one becoming more common since they are all getting some years on them.

A relay is an electric part that has a big main power input and uses a small amount of current/signal to switch the main power to the connected component. Pretty much an electrically operated switch.

Maybe I should have mentioned that there should be fault memory stored in the EHC control module for whatever caused the inactive message... you can always have the faults read/diagnosis done by dealer to really knowwhat the cause is.

Well, mine is at the dealer right now being fixed. A few days ago I got the same message, unfortunately it did not disappear after switching the car off and then on. As a matter of fact, within a few hours the car was listed so badly to the side where there was barely one-half inch of clearance between the driver's side front tyre and the wheel well. Roadside assist came to retrieve it from my garage and it is now being fixed.
