Avventura damping adjustment issue

Hi, I've got a 2014 Fiat Avventura, diesel engine, and I'm experiencing some issues with what I believe is the damping adjustment. I've covered 175901 km. I'm getting an error stored in the error memory and a warning light on the speedometer. The ride feels excessively bumpy. Could this be a defective cable or plug connection?

A 2014 Fiat Avventura owner is experiencing issues with the damping adjustment, indicated by a warning light and error message, and a bumpy ride. The problem is suspected to be a defective cable or plug connection. A suggestion is made to use an OBD-II scanner for diagnostics, which leads to the identification of a faulty plug connector. The issue is resolved at a workshop, confirming the initial suspicion.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Greetings. The symptoms do suggest a potential issue within the damping control system. I once encountered a somewhat comparable situation with my previous Volvo V60; a faulty connection in the adaptive suspension system led to similar error messages and degraded ride comfort. Have you attempted any preliminary diagnostics beyond visual inspection?

Thanks for the insight! I haven't done much beyond checking the obvious connections. What sort of diagnostics did you perform on your Volvo?

In my case, I utilized an OBD-II scanner to retrieve specific diagnostic trouble codes related to the suspension system. This permitted a more precise identification of the malfunctioning component. Given the potential complexity of modern vehicle suspension systems, proceeding with a professional diagnostic assessment might be prudent, considering the error codes and symptoms you described. I ended up having to go to the workshop.

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated. I took it to the workshop, and you were spot on. It was indeed a defective plug connector causing the issue. Repair cost me 95€
