Check suspension light???

My uncle just bought a 96 explorer sport and he called me to ask what it means when the "check suspension" light comes on. I have not seen an explorer with air suspension only expeditions and navigators. Was this an option at some point on the explorers? If so, is the shut off switch in the same location as the expys? Is there a way to pull codes for the suspension? Thanks for any help.

if it has a check suspension light it usally means it has a ride suspension and there is a problem with the sensors that control the ride hight it could be a bad air bag, bad sensor or even a pinched or broken wire or bad fuse..... i had this problem after my car came out of the shop and they wanted like 400 to replace the sensor and it turned out when they put the car on the lift they piniched the wire so the airbags were not blowing up so the back of the car was sagging and it was a REAL BUMPY RIDE
