Arnott RH-5247 Suspension Ride Height Sensor - Rear

Arnott RH-5247 Rear Ride Height Sensor

Arnott RH-5247 is a new rear suspension ride height sensor for Volvo air suspension systems. It measures chassis-to-road distance and sends that signal to the ECU so the compressor can adjust air pressure and keep the vehicle level.

Compatible with rear applications on Volvo XC90, S60, V70, and S80 models, this sensor addresses common wear and damage from road debris, water, salt, and impact exposure.

Key Features

• New aftermarket ride height sensor from Arnott
• Rear suspension position
• Black oval connector with male connector and male pin terminal
• Standard grade type for direct replacement service
• Fits Volvo XC90, S60, V70, and S80 rear applications
• Part number RH-5247 for catalog and cross-reference use

Detailed Description

The Arnott RH-5247 suspension ride height sensor provides the ECU with accurate rear suspension position data so the air suspension system can respond with the correct compressor command. On Volvo XC90, S60, V70, and S80 models, a worn sensor can lead to incorrect ride-height readings and uneven vehicle stance. This replacement sensor restores proper signal input for rear leveling control. This part number RH-5247 is also referenced in parts lookup for service matching and application verification.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Rear suspension sits too high or too low
• Incorrect ride-height readings sent to the ECU
• Air compressor cycling at the wrong time
• Uneven vehicle stance after sensor wear or damage
• Faults caused by road debris, water, or salt intrusion

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year and model before installation. Inspect the sensor connector, linkage area, and mounting points for corrosion or physical damage before replacing the unit. Confirm the vehicle’s air suspension system is functioning correctly after installation and clear any stored fault codes if required by the repair procedure.

Quality Assurance

Arnott supplies this sensor as a new aftermarket replacement built for service on Volvo rear air suspension applications. The RH-5247 is engineered to restore accurate height-sensing input for the ECU and compressor control system.
