ABC Strut Question

The ABC is a close-loop so the fluid is being circulated throughout the system when the engine is running, however I don't think the fluid inside the struts is so what happens when you have air inside the strut(s)? Will it affects the ride & causes the system to trigger a false condition & display an ABC message? Is there a way to purge the air out of the strut(s) beside doing a rodeo? Will raising & lowering the car with the button be enough to purge the air while doing a flush? Please advise. Thanks

The fluid is not closed loop inside the strut, and yeah using the up and down could make some air go away...

Martin- Thanks. Do you know how the strut/car responds when there's air in it?
