Self_Level Suspension could be true?

[TheKingSim0n]

Okay, this could very well be my imagination but for the past few days i think my rear left side (drivers side) has been lowering a tiny bit more and more every few days. For the past month or so i have had the classical "Self_Level SUSP. INACTIVE" light on the cluster but it was only shown after I gave the X a detail. So i always thought it was one of the sensors that got buggy somehow.

So now I am wondering, if it is the bag, how would I check? Put her up on a life and see if its soggy? and if so how much would it cost to do a D.I.Y.?

Thanks!

Good Luck!! I have spent more than $2,987.00 fixing my Self Level Suspension Inactive light that stayed on, dealer replaced almost everything...... I love this @##%$$%$

Let me ask this, I have had this light before and there are a few things I have done in the past to get ride of it and they did indeed work up until i recently did a detail on the X.

First of all, when did you first notice you got this light? second, do you get it on ALL THE TIME, like every single time you start up the X?

Next time your about to start up the X, try this, instead of just turning the key and letting it go to start, turn it all the way and wait a good 2 seconds after the x starts, see if the light still there. The light used to come on for me during start up due to the fact that i just barely turned the key and let go and that caused the sensors not to read the suspension right and then it went off.

Now no matter how I start the X i get the light... :/

But see if that works and get back to me

If there is still some air in the "bag" you can spray a thin mixture of soap and water on it. Tiny bubbles=leak. A diy repair depends on your skill level. Rear ones are much easier to replace. Any chance its a faulty sensor?

I get this error sometimes, but it turns on every when i do the following:

I installed HID foglights, not long ago. And sometimes when i turn them on, they turn off for a second and that error appears right away and then lights come on...weird.

I indeed have Depo headlights that cause the same error but now I have the error on with or without turning on the lights...
