Default Suspension fault

That light is going on and off. Mechanic checked everything but couldn't find anything wrong. Any input or experience on that friends?
Thank you for your time and help.

Default Really need a lot more info to help you

Alex,

That’s not enough info for us to help you.

Q: What car year, model, mileage, service history etc
Q: what light is on? Check Engine Light?
Q: Any warning messages on dash?
Q: What driving symptoms do you have - rough handling, blown suspension - bumpy ride etc
Q: Why do you think you have a suspension problem?

Did you check with OBD for DTC codes?

2004 xkr, 95k miles, 20" wheels.
Suspension fault warning light on dash (I think according to garage)
No other symptoms, drives fine, no leaks seen.
No codes because light kinda comes and goes.
Everything looks fine at inspection.
Plan to look at wires to see if there's a fault...

With the dealer level diagnostic system you would be able to query the control module and have it tell you the fault. It will be very hard reason it which shock or which accelerometer is giving you the problem without it.

The suspension system is completely isolated in these cars and does not cause problems with other systems. You can make the light go away by unplugging the module in the boot but the shocks will then be permanently in “firm” mode.

Default Thanks, but to do that ....

I'd need the light to stay on to do that. The light is out most of the time. It just comes in randomly then goes away. No hard breaking, turning or speeding event. Just comes and goes. Which makes a scanner analysis hard to get.
Thank you for your help, I appreciate.
