Skoda Scala Height Control Issue

I've got a problem with my 2023 Skoda Scala, gasoline engine, done about 124136 km. The height control restricted warning light is on. I've noticed the low beams are shining either too high or too low, and the car seems uneven, especially the front. The ride feels bumpy, too. Took it to get the error memory read and the error was stored there. Any ideas?

I had a similar issue with my Scala. The height control restricted warning popped up, plus I noticed the headlights were acting strangely. Have you checked the height sensors? The control module might be getting incorrect data from them. It could also affect the air suspension, so you get a bumpy ride.

So, you think it's the height sensor itself? Is there any way to test it before I take it in? What exactly do you mean by 'height sensors' and 'control module'?

By height sensors, I mean the sensors that measure the ride height at each wheel. These communicate with the control module, which is basically the computer that manages the air suspension and leveling system. A defective control rod can give incorrect data, which happened to me. Honestly, I didn't test it myself; I just took it to a workshop. They diagnosed it pretty quickly. Likely will be the easiest path for you too.

Just a heads up, the problem is fixed. It was the control rod on the height sensor, like you suspected. Cost me 110€ at the shop. Thanks for the advice!
