Warning Indicator Light that has come on, it reads "Service Suspension System" started to come on after I had the rear shocks replaced. Shop that replaced them can not determine why the indicator comes on. Everything seems ok with the car. Shop states that there is no problem with shocks. Any ideas on this?

Thanks!

Hello,

It could be an issue with the suspension ride height sensor.
Many times after replacement of the shocks that sensor needs adjusting due to ride height difference between the old and the new shocks.
It can also be due a faulty ride height sensor.

I have attached the adjustment procedure for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
