Height indication on the Citröen C5 X7 dashboard does not appear

Unread post by NatanTorres »

Today I noticed something strange on my C5 Tourer. I went to lower the suspension to check the level of the LDS and on the panel when selected it indicates that it is starting the descent but it does not inform when the process was completed. I got up and down and saw that it only informs the conclusion of the ascent or descent in the medium high and high position and in the normal and low position it so indicates the beginning of the process but does not indicate when it ends. Other than that the car is normal it remains as heights. The may be causing this. Do you need an adjustment on the height sensors?

It may well be one or more height sensors themselves (the potentiometer tracks can wear out over time), or the system heights have been wrongly programmed so that the suspension ECU thinks the height is higher than in reality, which is why you may be getting the message to say it has not reached the lowest position.
Please note, I'm no longer active on the Forum, so won't respond to messages.

Mine does the same in the front suspension and in the opposite direction. I'd also like to hear of any possible solution

😀Positive. That's what you instructed me above. It was the wrong front sensor set at a workshop. I made the manual adjustment and after via digbox and the problem was solved
