03 cl500 suspension dropping while in park while the car is running
 
Hi guys, so I just picked up an 03 cl500 a week ago. The ABC seems to work well, however I have noticed that while the car is in park but running the suspension dips a little. I sat in the car waiting for about 20 mins and it just kept dropping a little over time. When I got out to see just how low it had dipped it didn't look unusually low.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

It adjusts itself if you are sitting parked with the car running . That is normal

You can probably feel the sudden dips but not the slow rise

Both of my 600s have done this, I thought it was bad but it is considered "normal".

FWIW, if you dig around, there is an updated ABC controller that uses different programming to eliminate this, it has a different oscillation of the valves when parked so you don't feel the sudden change. It is strictly a comfort update, there is nothing wrong with the early ones. So it can be fixed, but there's no reason to unless you need a new ABC module.
