S90 Damping Adjustment Fault

Has anyone experienced issues with the damping adjustment system on their 2017 Volvo S90 T8 Twin Engine hybrid? I've got about 58000 km on it, and I'm getting an error message and warning light, plus a really bumpy ride. Suspect it's a cable or plug issue.

Whoa, sounds familiar! I had almost the exact same thing happen with my S90. That 'bumpy sensation' is putting it mildly, right? The car felt like it was gonna shake itself apart. Did you happen to check if the error code gives you anything more specific than just 'damping adjustment fault'?

The 'bumpy sensation' is quite unsettling. The OBD scanner says it's a malfunction within the adaptive damper control module, but doesn't specify which damper or connector. Did your error code provide more detailed information, or did you have to do more diagnostics?

Nah, my code was about as useful as a chocolate teapot. It pointed to the system but not where the problem was. Honestly, I messed about with it for an afternoon and then just bit the bullet and took it to a workshop. They sorted it pretty quick. Probably best if you do the same.

Based on your recommendation, and given the complexity, I'll consult a qualified technician. The estimated repair cost is about 95€, which seems reasonable considering the potential implications.
