Default 2016 XJL Suspension fault

Hello. I just replaced my front brake pads & rotors about 2 weeks ago. About a week later I noticed a "suspension fault " warning ⚠️. It comes and goes. Any suggestions

Consider diagnostics. One or more DTCs are logged.
If you have no tools, Advance, Autozone, etc will read codes for free.
Generic code readers may not display the manufacturer code of interest, but you may get lucky.
Alternatively, try a competent automotive repair shop.

Let us know what you do, find.

Lanezz, unfortunately, I battled this sort of thing one time before. You are going to need a high end code reader to dig deep into the error codes. From there, you will get a code that will tell you which corner of the car is having issues. If things are like what I have seen here in the past, odds are, you over extended the right front strut and this damaged the strut and causes an error code to appear. This will then result in the car going into dynamic mode and riding very stiff.

Check the following
Loose or disconnected ride height sensors (especially after front brake work).
Air suspension leaks or damaged air lines.
Faulty or misaligned suspension control module or sensor.
Intermittent electrical connection or fuse issue.
ECU/software glitch that may need a reset or recalibration.
