Don't adjust the ride height sensors. You may open a can of worms. If removed , ust verify you connected them correctly.

The sensors are required to be adjusted when putting in new struts. It's quite literally in the service manual.

I've swapped struts out on 2 of our LS's without messing with them. I've posted my ride height numbers a few times to help other members that have tried adjusting them. If you (op) don't have techstrream I wouldn't mess with them.

Maybe this will help. I know it's Mercedes, but maybe the logic still applies.

9V battery and two wires.

Techstream isn't used to adjust the ride height sensors. They are mechanical as are the measurements. It's in the service manual I posted.

I was incorrect. I was thinking about some ac system settings I posted. Sorry about that.
