Could be a sensor or something like the module.

You really need to plug the diags software in to see what errors come up.

Hi Raj,

This is not an unusual topic..
Take a look back over the last moths postings... you will find lots of postings and a heck of a lot of information about this specific issue.

For my 3 penneth worth, learn lots about this system, when it works it is exceptionally good.

Many of the guys who punish their machines off roading and on farms have gone to coil-over conversions to do away with the electronics etc...
For me, where I often load the vehicle, and some times not, the air suspension is excellent for keeping the ride height level under all load conditions & im happy with the odd spot of trouble shooting.
The system is normally very reliable and works well, but if you have a gremlin in the system, look up all you can learn, be logical in repair expenditure and get a peep under your vehicle.
A whole load of goodies live under the boot floor, ie pumps, control modules, pipe work & wiring etc.
I had electrical issues at one point, turned out to be a dying battery venting lots of gasses & corroding the daylights out of everything electrical - ie Circuit Boards...
Once you understand what is where & what each bit does, it is actually quite a simple system, and very well put together.

If you have a levelling issue & one corner is a specific height lower than expected...
I would consider loading the daylights onto the rear end - engine off 1st, then see how the electronics level the vehicle again when engine is started.....
If the same wonky ride height is precisely resumed, then I would look at the sensor on that corner....
could simply be a damp/wet connector plug where damp is in the electrical joint giving false readings, or the sensor may have been clobbered an not aligned etc etc, but either way, it shouldn't be too much of an issue to solve.

There are a lot of guys here who have had similar issues... and a lot of info will be sent to you to assist.
Take a look back over Octobers' postings... lots of info on this subject.
