Default F-type adaptive dynamics fault

Hi guys,

I lowered my 2014 F-Type S of 30mm (H&R springs) and now I'm getting the adaptive dynamics fault. Along with it, special modes do not work. Does anyone know if adaptation via diagnostics is needed, or how to solve the problem?
Thanks in advance for the ideas.

Make sure the ride height sensor arms are not broken and are connected. Many reports in the past about them getting damaged or disconnected during spring change or suspension work.

I'm pretty sure there are sensors front and rear did you check both?

The (probably) strange thing is that only when the ignition is switched on, no error lights up and the sports mode can be switched on. Everything stops working after start engine. Disconnecting the battery does not help..

EDIT: sensors in the front? I'll check it, but adaptive is rear only..

Usual advice. Make sure battery is fully charged.

You're right. However, after checking, "unfortunately" everything is fine.

Cables to the top of front shock towers are connected?

Assuming these already are...but can check that these connectors are firmly plugged back into each shock? After lowering my R I did almost forget to replug one.

Thank you, @DJS and @Bierry !
It's unbelievable, but the service really forgot to plug in the right rear...
Plugged in and everything is working! Thanks guys!
