RAV4 Damping Adjustment Error

My 2001 Toyota RAV4 Electric with 153955 km is riding really bumpy, and there's a warning light on. Error code points to damping adjustment. Suspension issue?

Summary of the thread

A 2001 Toyota RAV4 Electric was experiencing a bumpy ride and a warning light, with an error code indicating a damping adjustment issue. The problem was suspected to be related to the suspension system, specifically a defective cable connection near the shock absorbers. After checking for corrosion or loose wires, it was confirmed by a workshop that a faulty connection was the cause, and repairing it resolved the issue, restoring normal ride quality.

I had a similar issue on my RAV4. The error stored and bumpy ride point towards a problem with your damping control. Have you checked the cable and plug connections to the suspension components? A defective connection can cause these symptoms.

Thanks! Where exactly are those connections located? And is there anything special I should look for, like corrosion or loose wires?

The connections are typically near each shock absorber. Look for any signs of corrosion, damage to the wires, or loose pins in the connectors. However, given the complexity of the damping system, a visit to a workshop might be the most efficient way to diagnose and resolve the issue. A faulty connection can cause suboptimal ride comfort and car handling.

Appreciate the help! Workshop found a defective cable connection, as you suspected. Repair cost me 95€. Ride's back to normal now!
