Driver selectable suspension fault. Service required.

This started yesterday. Went to leave my driveway and wheels were turned right. Car clunked when starting to move and then got the error message. Cannot access any drive modes.

Did it clear after a key cycle?

I've gotten Drive Mode Unavailable and the silent no-notice drive mode switching on and off for the year I've owned this car and the two years I had my '21 model. Usually turning the car off and then back on clears it.

It's been turned on/off several times and it still appears.

After getting that message on my Mach-E, I looked around and discovered that the left, front ride height sensor was busted.
That started a little adventure. Ordered a replacement part online (Part No. LK9Z-3C097), which turned out to be a sensor for the right side. Then I was unable to fine a part number for the left side. Finally I took the part off the car and looked at the part number. It was LJ9C-3C438 and no one had that part number... What was broken on my ride height sensor was the linkage, connecting the upper and lower parts of the sensor. Fortunately, the linkage for the left and right sides are the same and I was able to pop off the linkage from the right side part and put it on the left side. The car is good now.

The fault happened on my '23 GTPE recently. After a day though, it went away and I had normal suspension again. I
