My Ride: 2004 BMW E61 530d
Default More Self Leveling Suspension Woes

Hi there one and all,

I have a different issue than what I have seen mentioned in the forums. My issue is a high signal to the pressure release valve. I am now rather stumped as to how to investigate this so any help would be appreciated.
The compressor seems to be okay as when this fault is not present, it operates as normal. The car isn't sat mega low etc.

Car is a 530d on a 54 plate.

Thanks for any advise

Sorry, can't help you, but am wondering what do all these "54 plate" things stand for? All the English guys seem to post about them. Isn't the model and year and mileage enough for us to help?

Exact details taken from the error code:

Error 5F96 - Level Control Air Release Valve - Signal Too High

Can anybody shed some light onto this error and how best to go about fixing it?

Many thanks

Hi slight difference to the issues listed. My suspension emptied and dropped I changed the fuse and it worked. But the pump won't switch off. What can I do. Fault code 5f9a. Any help would be great Thanks. Joe

I'm just throwing a wild guess out but I would start with checking the air filter for the pump. It's located to the back of the right rear wheel housing behind the liner.
