Hi guys, I recently had the rear ahc sensor go out on my lx. I bought the dorman senser and had a dealership replace it. They said they got things into spec, but I just noticed last night that the rear control arm is maxed out at the top of the bracket. I used to have the arm sitting about half way up the bracket, but have no room to adjust upwards now. My height from center of rim to wheel well is right at 20”. I thought I should be able to get more than that out of the sensor lift, but I’m out of adjustment. Any thoughts?

Stock should be 20.5” (N) I believe so something sounds off. I maxed mine out and got 21.25” (+3/4”) in rear at N height.

I can’t figure it out, because it was roughly the same height before in neutral, but now I don’t have any more bracket depth to raise it up.
I think the most likely answer is that the Dorman sensor is sending different info to the associated controller. I'd check out the sensor lift thread for instruction on making a bracket that extends the rear range further. In your case you might just be going to the height you had before, but the process would be the same as guys wanting to go higher than the stock adjustment allows.
I think you're going to need techstream to troubleshoot any of this. You have the sensor height and the sensor link length to fine tune. The chances of a random tech/mechanic at a dealership knowing how to tune both of those metrics in a timely manner that beats the rated labor is slim to none.
Get yourself techstream and a copy of the ahc parts of the fsm.
