Honda Greiz Suspension Bounce: Warning Light Mystery

Hey! I had nearly identical issues with my 2016 Honda Accord (1.5L gas). The bouncing and warning light combo hit me at around 65k km. Initially thought it was just the dampers too, but turned out the cable connection to the suspension height sensor was damaged and giving false readings. The bouncing was actually from the adaptive suspension system getting confused by the faulty signals. My mechanic spotted the frayed cable during inspection. They had to replace the wiring harness and recalibrate the system. Not a super expensive fix, but definitely needed proper diagnostic equipment to identify. The warning light disappeared right after the repair, and the ride went back to normal. If your symptoms match, I'd suggest having them check the sensor connections first before replacing any suspension components. It's not a serious issue if caught early, but could lead to premature wear of your suspension if left unchecked.

Hey, thanks so much for sharing that! Really helpful info about the sensor issue. I got mine fixed last month and it turned out to be pretty similar to what you described. Just curious, do you remember roughly how much you ended up paying for that repair? Also, has everything been running smoothly since then, or did you notice any other quirks pop up? Always good to know what to watch out for with these things!

Hey again! Glad I could help and that you got it sorted! Yeah, the repair cost me exactly 155 Euro for fixing that pesky cable connection. Honestly, it was such a relief it wasn't anything more serious (and expensive) like having to replace the entire damper system. And you asked about how it's been running, I'm happy to report it's been absolutely perfect since the fix! Once they corrected that error in the damper adjustment system, my Accord went back to riding as smooth as butter. No more crazy bouncing, warning lights, or any other weird behavior. It's been about 8 months now, and I haven't had a single issue pop up. Pro tip though, I now make it a point to have the suspension system checked during regular maintenance, just to catch any potential issues early. Better safe than sorry, right? These electronic sensors can be finicky sometimes, but at least it's usually just a connection problem rather than something major. Let me know if you notice anything else unusual, always happy to compare notes!

Thanks for the follow-up! you got a better deal than I did, my repair ended up costing 220 Euro. But you know what? It was totally worth it. The mechanic I found was super thorough and actually showed me the worn-out parts. They fixed the sensor issue, checked all the connections, and even gave the whole suspension system a once-over. The funny thing is, after dealing with that bouncy ride for weeks, I can't believe how smooth my car runs now! It's been a month since the repair, and it feels like I'm driving a new car. No warning lights, no more feeling like I'm on a pogo stick over every tiny bump. The mechanic even gave me some solid maintenance tips, like checking the suspension during oil changes. Really appreciate you sharing your experience, it definitely helped me feel more confident about getting it fixed instead of just hoping it would magically get better. I'll keep an eye on those sensors from now on. Thanks again for all the advice!
