That's a dreaded error that happens to pop up on the X. In my case it was do rain entering the X via the sunroof and that caused water to slowly enter the rear suspension electrical bay which is located in the rear under the spare tire. If you have this light on constantly and your height is still the same in the rear on both the left and the right then it is something electrical most likely a faulty sensor, otherwise it can be one of your suspension air bags leaking. If so then try and contact a great member called jst on the board. He happens to have the bags at a kick ass price. Good luck!!

This seems to be asked almost every week. I know it can be frustrating dealing with an issue like this, I have been there, but a simple search would yield a lot of info on this subject.

Could be as simple as a fuse or weak battery.

Is the rear suspension appear lower than normal?

I have the exact problem, its low on both sides and the error shows up constantly. Will check the fuses later today (again). Anyone knows where the sensor or sensors should be?

If its equally low on both sides then it can be the module, if not then it sounds like its the bags themselves.

The module is located in the rear under the spare tire area.
