Terracan Damping Adjustment Issue

I'm having damping adjustment issues with my 2006 Hyundai Terracan with a gasoline engine. There's a stored error, a warning light on the speedometer, and the ride is very bumpy. Could a defective cable or plug connection be the cause? The car has 60253 km.

Summary of the thread

The 2006 Hyundai Terracan is experiencing damping adjustment issues, indicated by a stored error and a warning light, resulting in a bumpy ride. A defective cable or plug connection is suspected as a possible cause. It is suggested to inspect the electrical connectors to the adaptive dampers for corrosion or damage. If the issue persists, a professional diagnostic may be necessary to identify and resolve the problem.

Sounds familiar! I had a similar issue with my Terracan a while back. Is the ride especially harsh over even small bumps? Could be the adaptive dampers throwing a fit. Have you checked the connections to the dampers themselves? They are known to corrode.

Yes, the ride is noticeably harsh, even over minor road imperfections. When you mention 'connections to the dampers themselves,' are you referring to the electrical connectors, or the physical mounting points of the dampers to the chassis? Could you explain more?

Electrical connectors. The adaptive damping system relies on those to adjust in real-time. I'd check those first. If they look okay, it might be time to get a diagnostic run at a workshop. Could be a faulty damper, but checking the simple stuff first saves money.

I appreciate the advice regarding the electrical connectors. I will inspect them thoroughly soon. However, considering the error code and warning light, I suspect a professional diagnosis might be unavoidable. The repair cost was 95€.
