Im sure this has been posted 400000 times but I need advice on suspension

My CL550 is perfect except for when I turn the car off, the front RH strut makes a series of electrical sounds and drops 1/2", then drops again another 1/2", until the height settles at 28". The rest of the car stays at 29". Is the sensor defective? It doesn't go any lower and I know it isn't leaking. Is this a sign of a defective sensor? When I start the car, it levels out perfectly. Is it a the sensor or the computer that controls the pump? It stays exactly at 29" until I lock the door, then it does it's lowering dance. Please advise.

you can keep guessing and swapping things but you can also solve your problem the normal way
with a diagnostics tool

A simple OBD2 scan tool can help detect for erros. However, Star diagnostic should give details on the issue.

Also, consider a proper title describing the issue. Otherwise it becomes hard to track of bring people to know what kind of assistance you need.
Using the search tool is also recommended if you believe for this question have been asked that amount of times.
