Airmatic not rising

Hello I have a 2001 s430, and my battery died in swapped it out for a Mercedes OEM battery from Mercedes. I fired up my car and my car says "stop car to low". Someone told me I needed to reset my airmatic system? How do I go about fixing this issue? The pump works I hooked up power directly to it and the pump fired up. Also I changed out the relay and the pump turned on for a few minute then it shut off and I couldn't get it to start back up again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After the pump ran, was the car still too low? Does it actually look too low?

Did you try to cancel the warning by pressing the reset button on the right side of the instrument cluster?

Do you still have the "STOP CAR..." warning?

No I didn't try to erase the light because the pumps don't even turn on. I replaced the relay and it turned on for a minute and then it turned back off.and won't turn back on. The pumps work I ran direct power to them and they turned on so idk

It's difficult to help when you don't answer questions...
