My car works perfect but I get the visit workshop msg and the arrow with the car on the dash....I scanned and have codes 5220 and 5230 5226 5227

They say: "Right Front Damping Valve unit Solenoid Valve 1 open Circut"
and
"Right Front Damping Valve unit Solenoid Valve 2 open Circut"


I took the wheel off and fender liner and the wires all look fine checked for juice with a test light on the plug going to the shock and had juice on one of the 3 pins with the key on....checked the driver side it was the same.

I hate having a DTC codes and have not found any help on what to do, perhaps I am looking in the wrong places.....If anyone knows what I should do please let me know.....Thanks !


Car raises lowers sport modes work find does not leak or bleed off over time the entire car seems to be working perfect but I have these codes


I also had code 5226 "right front axle damping valve unit/right solenoid Valve 1 Short circut between Ground lead. Right front solinoid valve 1/and ground lead/right front solenoid valve 2"

And I had code 5227 "right front axle damping valve unit solenoid valve 1: loose contact


thanks for your help!!!!!
