Malfunction after Ghostlink

Hello, I have a '22 maybach s680. Just had the car lowered on Ghost Links and got a suspension malfunction notice. Goes away after i turn off the car and comes back when i'm going above 74 (probably because car auto lowers at the mph). Anyone else have this happen? Looking to see if there's a quick suspension reset or another way of fixing issue. Thanks

Buys the ultimate luxury Mercedes brand.
Lowers is because it's more ghetto... Fabulous... Gangsta... Whatever.



Did you reach out to the manufacturer of the suspension lowering links? What did they have to say?

Easiest and quickest way to fix it, is to reinstall the factory links. I suppose you could probably (maybe?) also recode the car to not drop at speed, but now you're looking at more money I. The form or hardware and software.

That's unfortunate
Was the drop aggressive?
I've had mine about 3/8 - 1/2" lower than stock and haven't seen any ill effect.
A quick google says it can be recalibrated at the dealership, maybe that can help?

yeah it kind of sucks, but other than the spring light popping up it doesn't prohibit me from other functions. not sure if it's aggressive or not, but i'm certainly lower than 1/2" from stock.
just seeing if i needed to reset the air system in someway without going to stealership.

The Ghost Links are causing the error. The car's suspension sensors are detecting a ride height they weren't programmed to expect, confusing the system. There is no simple reset for this.

Your only real fix is to have a specialist with the proper diagnostic computer (like Vediamo or DAS) recalibrate the suspension control unit to accept the new lowered height parameters. The system needs to be told the new normal to stop triggering the malfunction.
