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€.

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.
