S061 code


Va Maddog

Recommended Posts

Any advice on trouble shooting the above code? (S061 Right Front Position Sensor Fault - Current) 95 SLS.

There is also a S044 code in history - Lift or Dive signal fault.

I have not noticed any actual suspension performance problems, but the service suspension system warning message has been present for several weeks. I just now got around to checking the codes.

Have you checked the level's connector to see if it fell off, is corroded, or needs reseating?

I have not done any trouble shooting yet. If you know can you tell me where that connector located?

Follow the wire that comes off the level sensor to the plug, the level sensor connects to the lower control arm via a rod and it has an arm on it that reads changes in wheel movement.

I found that on both sides the small connecting rod was attached to the lower control arm but was dangling loose and not inserted into the boot on the level sensor unit arm. How they both came out is a mystery although my son did have to call AAA for a flat tire change this summer and they may have lifted the car in a way that dropped the front wheels enough to pull the arms out of the rubber boots. That is about the time that he first saw the service suspension message. (My son had the car this summer for his college internship and he is not mechincally inclined!) I reinserted both rods and cleared the trouble codes. The service suspension system message is now cleared and no trouble codes reappeared.

I can only hope that the fix was as simple as this. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Thanks for the lead on where to look.

Yes, that is problem, mine came out like that once too (I think Regis's did too), remove it from both sides and push the end fitting on and snap it back in place... Let us know how that works, Mike

I think this happens because the control arm over extends downward in a pot hole or something similar
