Weird airmatic issue 2000 s430

So I searched and couldn't find a match to my issue. My car drops in front. Says too low to drive. However it will raise if I do hard turns and hold it or if I use the airmatic dash button.

Then it will do the same thing over again when I shut the car down.

Any ideas? I tried the battery re set. Same deal. It raised. Then next start wouldn't.

Car is drive able raising it manually but obviously it's supposed to do this automatically. Is it the relay?

Might be a bad SAM
You can get cheap used ones on eBay

I don't think so. SAM was replaced last year. Plus a used SAM good luck finding someone to program it.

I've never heard of a bad Sam in relation to only airmatic issues.

I'm suspecting a slow leak somewhere. I posted to see if anyone has seen this.
