Description
Product Overview
This Height Sensor is designed for both front and rear suspension systems of Citroën and Peugeot vehicles, with direct compatibility for the Citroën C5 models produced between 2001 and 2007. It plays a crucial role in monitoring and adjusting the body height, ensuring optimal ride comfort, handling, and safety by maintaining the correct suspension level under varying load conditions.
Function and Importance
The height sensor detects the position of the suspension relative to the vehicle chassis and sends signals to the suspension control system. This enables automatic adjustments to air suspension or hydraulic systems, preserving the desired driving height. Failure of this sensor can lead to uneven ride height, poor handling, warning lights on the dashboard, or improper suspension performance.
Replacement and Maintenance
Replacing the height sensor is typically straightforward but requires proper diagnostic tools to verify sensor signals. Symptoms of failure often include uneven vehicle posture, warning signals, or suspension faults. Since this part is subjected to road vibrations, environmental exposure, and wear, it may need replacement after several years or when faults occur.
