W204 - Adaptive Damping System - Stuck in sports mode

Hi guys,

I have been scratching my head over this issue for the past week.

I have a w204 with AMG sports package, that includes the adaptive damping system.

I have this sport button in the dash that stiffens up the suspension, and makes the car more sporty in general.

Lately my car sometimes automatically switches to this sports mode, and gets stuck until I restart the car. Checked with my code reader that the fault is in the ADS, adaptive damping system, and when I delete the error I can go out of sports mode again.

Unfortuntely the error don't tell me much.

Anyone with EPC that can tell me where I can locate this level sensor and how to troubleshoot further?

Mine was having save problem.found out the damping level sensor at the bottom of the car at the front right tyre dislodged. When I clicked it back the sort button works fine but after some time the damping level sensor comes off again the car goes into sport mode again. I guess have to change the part.
