Default Air Suspension

As I was driving my front end went down and it was showing the orange car light and flashing the green down arrow light. I connected the Vag com and it read Front right level sensor 012- Electrical fault in circuit. I cleaned the connections to that sensor and still the same. Is it the sensor that went bad?

Did you inspect the cable sheathing and make sure it's not damaged? There could be a cut or break in the wire you're not aware of. I would inspect the cable very carefully before replacing the sensor.

I checked every wire I also checked the coltage and it is currently fine and I checked the mean blocks on vag com and it shows every other level height just fine except the right it is way off

If you don't want to break anything more by using the VCDS, use a simple test in many posts about suspension. Yellow light and Green light. I did have one of the simple test to find the problem in my suspension problem posts. People with VCDS don't fix the suspension correctly.

Cheers,
