I've thought of disabling active leveling altogether. I see that you can not do this on an S5, I'm not sure about my 3Extended.
Thats much easier than with the S-Line printers, you can disable the active leveling directly from the printers menu. Set the interval to none and you are fine. In my opinion there is no need for active leveling with that size of print bed. Just keep in mind to do a manual leveling when you change the glass plate.
The capacitive sensor is very sensitive and there are several reasons why the leveling could fail.
Connection problem, check the white and red wire when you open the print head.
Check the connector on the back side of the print head and reseat it
Check íf the front fan wires are damaged
the distance between the two plates of the print bed should be round about 14mm
EMF noise from other devices near the printer
