Airmatic fault due to transmission?

I have an S320 year 2000. In the morning when coming from a cold start, meaning not used in the night. When the car moves the airmatic fault comes on. After I drive the car for 2-3 miles or the engine and transmission has warmed up the fault goes away. what I do is drive it slow for 2-3 miles, restart the engine to reset the fault then I can drive the whole day without any problem.

1. This happens only when coming from a cold start, car is unused for 8 hours or more.
2. Dealer Computer reading points to transmission but the electronic kit does not need changing as per technician.
3. Airmatic struts' level does not sag or change.

Any suggestion short of changing or overhauling the transmission?

Your information is to vague to assist in probable cause---ask the folks that diagnosed the car to give you a print out of the transmission fault----or have them give you a copy of the quick test they ran------that will provide a generic module list of green checks and or F for faults. With that list you can start the diagnosis process.
