Airmatic Visit Workshop issue from accelerator sensor?
My 01 S500 has been riding rough lately. THe "Airmatic Visit Workshop" message comes on usually after a few miles of driving. The strut tops do not leak and the compressor rarely runs. Fuses and relays are fine. The car does not drop even after days of parking.
Dealer says it's due to accelerator sensor and will $510 to fix ($230 for part, $270 labor). Does anyone know where that sensor is located in the car? And more importantly how easy is it to fix? Google did not provide anything useful. TIA

did you work out what this was for ?
I am getting an error that looks like it means that but no words. just an arrow pointing up at the back of the car.

Did they happen to mention what side it was? takes maybe 2 minutes to swap out if you know which one it is and have the socket to do it.
hope this helps..

Ever find the fix. Don't trust the dealer. I have same issue. Replaced sensor myself which takes 3 min btw not 2 hours of labor. Dealer I tell ya. Anyway vehicle rising up arrow code in dash. No issues with my car except stiff ride. I like it honestly. Maybe I'll just keep it that way. It rides like a true sports suspension 🤣
