"self level susp. Inactive" delete

Is it possible to have this error message deleted? I did conversion to spring and strut from air bags and that message is so dang annoying.Dealer was no help, they said its impossible. I pulled the fuse in the back as well.

Hook it up to a scanner 1.4.0 and go to the check control messages. Then uncheck self level susp.

Ensure the level sensors are at correct height front to back too.

Are the sensors being at the correct height a necessity? I have the x5 lowered on coilovers. And where can I get one of those scanners?

Yes. Those sensors are also used in the leveling of the headlamps. There's a document floating around here somewhere that shows where the "usable" range is on the sensors (despite the arm being able to turn right around on the sensor...only a 90 degree "window" is used). If you're outside this range, your leveling may not function accurately.

I was able to source the scanner. What section computer system would self level susp. Be under? Such as IKE, dme, etc. Just so I know before hand what I'm getting myself into.

Hi,

Here is the info you need:

When on the main screen click on "Units" on the top of the screen
Then click on "LCM"
Then click on "Coding Data"
Then click on "Check/Control Messages"
Now you will be in a menu to check/uncheck which error messages you want to appear on the dash.
Just uncheck the "SELFLEVEL SUPS.INACT" box then click on "Write" at the bottom right of the screen and thats it done!
Now just exit the software as normal and fire the car up and the error message on the dash will be non existant :-)

Hope this helps and let me know how you get on.

Cheers,

Raj

Hi Raj,

I've just done this but the error message still hasn't left my dashboard. I've tried clearing all errors and repeating this process but still no joy. Any other suggestions?

Thanks

J

Hi J.

The error will overrule the removal of the check control if it thinks there is a fundamental failure somewhere in the system.

So it depends if all your level sensors are still inline front to back as before you lowered it (if that's what you've done). Or the central control module may playing up. It's hard to say without seeing it in person.

Thanks,

Raj.
