AIRMATIC CAR TOO LOW (COILOVER BYPASS?)

I rescently installed coilover suspension from YELLOWSPEED Eu. I had a lot of errors (power steering, cruise control, esp, bas, abs) so I bought this

http://r.ebay.com/EBUo39

It fixed all of the errors but the STOP CAR TOO LOW still shows up.. does anyone know if there is a way to remedy this?

Not being hampered by facts, I can discuss the subject freely...

Perhaps check the three ride height sensors. One on each upper front control arm, one in the center of the anti-sway bar in the rear. See if they are in place and connected, see if you can modify them so they tell the computer that the car is riding at the normal ride height.

Have someone who has a STAR/DAS system, and knows how to use it, adjust the ride height values so the computer is satisfied.

Thanks for the reply! I'm going to check the sensors to make sure they are connected. I don't know why I didn't think of this but I did also drop her with the new kit. So I may have to have it STAR programmed as to fool the computer.

Thanks for the reply! Do you mean the relay (under passenger side hood) that controls the airmatic pump? I'm thinking it controls more than the pump? Did this work for you?
