Your sensor could be bad but also there is a known problems with the airmatic struts leaking. Alot of times this will happen at the tops when the car is raised. There are repair kits avaliable to reseal the tops if they are leaking. Check to see it the round caps on top of the struts are cracked around the brass fittings. If your system is leaking air all the time then the airmatic pump can burn up and quit operating. So have your mechanic check for air leaks on the system.
