Monza Damping Adjustment Fault

I'm hitting a wall with my 2021 Chevrolet Monza (gasoline engine). Got 38289 km on the clock and a persistent damping adjustment fault. The error memory's screaming, there's a warning light glaring at me, and the ride feels like I'm piloting a bucking bronco. I suspect a dodgy cable or plug connection to the component is to blame. Anyone else wrestled with this demon?

A 2021 Chevrolet Monza with 38,289 km is experiencing a persistent damping adjustment fault, indicated by a warning light and error memory. The issue is suspected to be caused by a faulty cable or plug connection. A diagnostic scan identified the front left damper as the source of the problem. After further inspection, a chafed wire was found and repaired, resolving the issue.

Greetings. The symptoms you describe strongly indicate a fault within the active damping system. Before assuming connection issues, have you verified the integrity of the shock absorber solenoid itself? A diagnostic scan should pinpoint the affected damper.

Thanks! The scan did point to the front left damper. So, if the solenoid's gone kaput, is it likely to throw the same error codes as a simple connection problem? Trying to avoid replacing the whole strut assembly if it's just a loose wire, you know?

Indeed, a faulty solenoid can mimic connection-related errors. Given the diagnostic outcome and your expressed concerns, a thorough inspection of the wiring harness and connector at the front left damper is advisable. However, if the solenoid's internal resistance deviates significantly from specification, replacement is the definitive solution. Considering the potential for misdiagnosis and further complications, engaging a qualified technician for comprehensive evaluation is recommended.

Took your advice and went to the shop. You nailed it – chafed wire on the left front damper. 95€ later, it's sorted. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
