Airmatic Problem w Fault Codes

Having problems with my 2004 E55 Airmatic. Getting codes:

5171 B7 airmatic pressure sensor signal implausible
5503 recovery time during filling of central reservoir too long
5504 fault in airmatic central reservoir charge valve or pinched line between compressor and central reservoir
5508 the pressure line system leaks

Any suggestions on what I should do?

Thanks

whats the ride height of the vehicle? seems very possible that its the airmatic compressor,but with out an SDS hooked up to do some diagnostics it will be very difficult to pinpoint your exact issue.
