Chassis Function Limited after installing Lowering Springs

CrashCade · 10-04-2022, 01:11 PM

Hello,

I had a shop install my H&R M550 springs on my F90. I picked the car back up this morning and they are saying I need to have some sensors recalibrated?

I cannot find anything to help me sort this out?

Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

If the car was not put to sleep prior to the work or the battery not disconnected, there maybe codes related to various sensors having been disconnected (strut adjustment and ride height) that may need to be cleared. It is also possible a strut harness was damaged during the reinstall. See my response to your other post on the subject.

The shop either damaged the EDC harness or didn't plug it back in.
Common error is on the rear.

Thanks for the response. I’ll find out this afternoon what it is for sure. The shop was thinking something needed calibrated and I was 99.9% sure that was not the problem.

Could be as simple as the shop breaking or not reconnecting a ride height sensor. Breaking a rear strut harness is more of a pain because the strut has to come back out and it takes some work to get to the top bolts inside the car.

All the input is on-point here. If all sensors are confirmed fully plugged in, they need to start with driver rear, which is a very vulnerable location for the harness to be crushed on top of the tophat.

It was confirmed that the ship damaged the wiring in the RR. Fixed the wiring and everything has been great.
