Air ride not working

I can't catch a break I fix one thing then another pops up

Not sure where to start I'm gonna do the work myself just need someone to tell me where to start I'm not a mechanic at all but love this car so much Ive been doing everything myself with the help of the forms and the internet but I'm not sure what to do with the air ride thanks for helping out 2008 ml 63 Amg I had the car towed and they used Dolly's they put a bar underneath the front of car in front of the front wheels right after that car dropped on dash it says malfunction with pic of car and arrow pointing up

The scanner says that the problem code is" STORED", not "CURRENT and STORED". This means that there was a problem, but that there is not currently a problem. If your scanner can delete/erase the code do so, and see what happens. I would expect the truck to operate normally.

There is a leak in the system, check the four air bags. You can DIY it using water & soap, although some air bag leaks are not apparent depending on the way the bag is folded.
Check for leaking air lines, distribution block, compressor and the pressure sensors.
I have the Foxwell NT530 snd I can conduct tests to diagnose where the system holds or leaks pressure.

Can you do the same tests?

Good luck

The scanner appears to be saying that the small air line between the valve block and the air reservoir is broken or the reservoir is leaking. That leak shouldn't be too hard to locate.

It blew the 40 amp fuse under the hood on passenger.side we put a knew one in and it blew it as soon as we tried to do manual calibration to lift car and the pump never turned on do u think it needs a pump the the front left suspension strut has 1.37 bar the right front strut 1.51 bar left rear strut 1.65 bar right rear strut has 3.72 bar so bags are holding air the central reservoir has 1.37 bar
