XC90 Height Control Restricted Message

I'm having a real headache with my 2015 Volvo XC90 diesel. I'm getting a 'height control restricted' message. The low beams are all over the place, and the car feels like it's riding unevenly. The ride is super bumpy now, and there's an error code stored. Anyone else seen this?

Whoa, sounds familiar! I've got an XC90 too, and I had a similar thing happen a while back. Thinking it might be something with the air suspension?

Air suspension, huh? I was reading online, and some people mentioned a control rod or leveling sensor could be the culprit. Does that ring any bells? Was it a costly fix?

Bingo! Yeah, that's exactly what it was for me. Turned out to be a defective control rod on the sensor. Seriously annoying. I'd suggest getting it checked out at a workshop. Better safe than sorry when it comes to suspension issues, right?

Thanks a bunch for the tip! I took it to the shop, and you nailed it – faulty control rod on the height sensor. Cost me about 110€ to get it sorted. Much appreciated!
