C0820Air Suspension Height Sensor Front Left

  • Generic OBD-II code · Chassis
  • Can trigger limp mode
How the car detects it
Nobody documents C0820 in the open; apart from Honda bulletin IDs that happen to contain the string, searches of lists and indexes found nothing. The title concerns the ride height sensor at the left front corner, a lever on the control arm turning an angle sensor that reports body height to the air suspension module. Stellantis uses its own numbers here: C151E for a stuck left front sensor on the 2022-23 Ram 1500, fixed by new module software (08-127-23, 08-150-24), and C1567 for an implausible left front level on the 2021 Grand Cherokee, where pinched front air lines were the cause. Without a valid front left height, the module stops levelling that corner or the whole car and shows a service message.
